Communication Team Member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Emmanuel Anyimah a.k.a Ellembele K.K, says one of the most difficult jobs in Ghana now is communicating for the ruling party.
He posits that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) keeps on making promises to the populace and has never been able to achieve them. “Even the ones they claim to have achieved are being slowly withdrawn.”
“One of the most difficult jobs in the country now is communicating for the NPP. It is like being given rotten tomatoes to sell and you forcing the smelly tomatoes on your customers. It is now difficult to communicate for the NPP because Ghanaians are questioning the many promises they made during the 2016 election campaign,” he told Happy98.9FM’s Don Kwabena Prah in a panel discussion on the Epa Hoa Daben political talk show.
Ellembele K.K sharing the NDC had been in a similar position in the past advised NPP communicators to stop singing the praises of the government for no work done, “apologize and admit to the Ghanaian people you made the promises but could not deliver.”
According to him, Ghanaians are forgiving and will pardon the NPP for the deception if they apologize.
“Beneficiaries of NABCO are now embarking on a demonstration because the gov’t which said it has created jobs for the youth with the initiative has now sacked them and has also failed to pay outstanding allowances. It was a laudable idea for the NPP to start the initiative and promise to pay the youth 700cedis a month and it was embraced by the populace. But from the start I always knew NABCO was a scam which could not resolve the unemployment situation and that’s why we are where we are now.”
To him, the country could have achieved the development it desired, suffered few strike actions and reduced its unemployment rate if the President focused on serving the people over letting the populace serve him.
“President Akufo-Addo should stop renting jets with our money and use it to pay NABCO employees and UTAG,” he stated.
