“It is only through decentralisation that we can see true progress in the country,” thus, according to former President John Dramani Mahama, the Flagbearer and Leader of the National Democratic Congress (NDC)
He restated his position at a meeting with the Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOSAG) in Accra.
According to the former president and flagbearer of the NDC true progress of a county can only be seen in decentralization.
Mr Mahama said the progress made in decentralisation had been rolled back in the last three and a half years alleging that government had assisted in the hijacking of the work of the civil and local government service by political assistants.
A statement issued by Mr James Agyemin-Boateng, the Spokesman of the NDC Campaign, quoted the former President as saying it was important to put the destiny of development in the hands of the people; adding “without that we cannot progress as a country”.
