The Vice President’s spokesman, Dr. Gideon Boako says claims by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) that it performed better than the Akufo-Addo government must be backed by empirical evidence and not just word of mouth.
According to him, the opposition, besides their propaganda against the government’s records has not been able to provide any proof of their claims.
Speaking on The Point of View with Bernard Avle, Mr. Boako said unlike the government which has built a website to showcase the projects it has undertaken, there’s no means to verify projects NDC claimed it constructed while in office.
“For whatever we say as having been done as a government, there should be some level of commitment to ensure that people can verify. It is so easy to sit on this platform and bundle around figures and claim I have done this and that…The channel for verification of the things our colleagues in the NDC talk about is completely lacking. Nobody has access to see and so it makes it a bit difficult when you want to do proper cogent academic exercise on matters of this nature,” he said.
He said the NDC’s claims amidst the lack of data and evidence is like “throwing dust into the eyes of the people.”
