NDC Treating 2022 Budget Like they Treated 2020 Polls – Sulemana Braimah

Executive Director for the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA), Sulemana Braimah has questioned the credibility of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

In a post on Facebook he bemoaned the attitude of the NDC towards the 2022 budget, juxtaposing it to that of the 2020 elections where the NDC claimed they had won but finally had to accept defeat.

“SO CAN THE NDC BE TRUSTED AT ALL?” he quizzed on his Facebook wall.

He added: “On the 2022 budget, the NDC caucus in Parliament just acted like their party did in the last election. “We have won, we have won” only to suffer a humiliating defeat. On the budget, they claimed, “we have rejected it, we have rejected it ” only to be humiliated in the end. I hope one day, we can trust what they claim or say. Now, we don’t even know their true position on the budget and the catastrophic E-levy.

SO CAN THE NDC BE TRUSTED AT ALL?

On the 2022 budget, the NDC caucus in Parliament just acted like their party did in the last election. “We have won, we have won” only to suffer a humiliating defeat. On the budget, they claimed, “we have rejected it, we have rejected it ” only to be humiliated in the end. I hope one day, we can trust what they claim or say.

Now, we don’t even know their true position on the budget and the catastrophic E-levy. At some point, their leader says he agrees to a 1% E-levy. At the same time, the same minority group says their position remain unchanged. Then you are left wondering, which position they are talking about. The position of their leader or which position? Then my friend Okudzeto Ablakwa is reported to be claiming some sort of victory over what he says is cabinet withdrawal of the allocation of Ghc241million E-levy service fee.

Then you wonder why will that be of interest. If there is no E-levy will there be an E-levy service fee? What the people are opposed to, and will suffer from, is the E-levy itself and that is what the people were looking up to the opposition to save them from.

In the end, the people were just given a hopeless hope. The masses had hoped that for once, the opposition will use their numbers to truly defend their interest. At this stage, I forsee E-levy in operation. I hope one day, we can trust what the NDC says or claims.
