At the same time they are accusing  President Mills of being too fast. The NPP says in the recent Yendi  swoop that President Mills is acting with \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cindecent haste\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d as contained  in a press conference read on behalf of the Minority by Deputy Minority  Leader Hon. Ambrose Derry.  In the Matter of the Ghana International  Airline Limited and Ghana @ 50 prosecutions, the NPP again accuse  President Mills of rushing. Only yesterday, the NPP Minority in  Parliament accused President Mills of rushing and insisted that the  matters for which the Government recalled Parliament were not urgent.   To the NPP, loans for rural electrification, Kpone water works expansion  and the Korean Housing Project are not urgent and important matters and  that these interventions can wait. What are we to believe, is the NDC  Govt and Prof. Mills slow or too fast? <\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">COMMITTEES AND  COMMISSIONS<\/span><\/strong><br \/>The NPP Minority in Parliament has gone on record  that President Mills is setting up too many Committees and has even  stated that they amounted to waste of time and resources.However, only  recently, in the press conference addressed by the Deputy Minority  Leader Hon. Ambrose Derry, the NPP stated that they insist that a new  Commission should be set up by the President to look into the Murder of  the Yaa Naa as stated in the NDC Manifesto.<br \/>Are there too many  Committees and Commissions or not?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">MANIFESTO PROMISES<\/span><\/strong><br \/>The  NPP has accused President Mills of not living up to his manifesto  promises.  They often cite the promise to work towards the engagement of  40% women appointees and to attend the party\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s congresses and  conferences. However the NPP has been up in arms against the decision to  change the Senior High School duration from 4 to 3 years though it is  also a major manifesto promise. Should President Mills keep his  manifesto promises or not?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">FORMER PRESIDENT RAWLINGS<\/span><\/strong><br \/>The  NPP shouts loudly every day that President Mills and his Government  should listen to Former President Rawlings who is warning that the  country is moving slowly and that now he doesn\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t even know the  direction. However, in the Ya Na, Ghana @ 50 and Ghana International  Airlines trials, the NPP is accusing President Mills of succumbing to  the pressures of Former President Rawlings. Should President Mills  listen to Former President Rawlings or not?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">MACRO ECONOMIC  STABILITY<\/span><\/strong><br \/>You will recall that in the early days of the NDC  Government, the popular refrain from the NPP was that the new Government  should stop seizing or arresting cars and arrest the depreciating cedi.  Now, the cedi has been stabilized and has even appreciated at some  point against all the major currencies. In a shocking twist, the NPP has  changed its position stating that this doesn\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t matter. Their 2008 Flag  bearer even puts it worse in his recent press interaction when he  postulates that any Senior High School Economics student can achieve the  macro-economic gains we have chalked over the last 15 months.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">CONCLUSION<\/span><\/strong><br \/>This  country deserves a sincere and trusted way of doing politics. The  Politics of convenience and lack of principle which the NPP has so much  epitomized having been in opposition for just 15 months is shameful to  say the least and can only lower politics in the minds or right thinking  Ghanaians whiles eroding the little credibility left of the New  Patriotic Party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deputy Information Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa is asking the opposition New Patriotic Party, NPP, to be sincere in their politics and stop the \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cPolitics of convenience\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d.
