A former Minister of State  at the Finance Ministry Anthony Akoto Osei said there are too many taxes  which will cripple industry and criticized the NDC for not completing  the affordable housing project started by the NPP but rather chose to  begin a new project under STX.<br \/>\nBut Dr. Tony Aidoo said the  statements by the NPP are a misunderstanding and a \u201cshallow intellectual  analysis of the economic situation.\u201d<br \/>\nHe said the NPP should tell  the country how much loan has been approved by Parliament which made  them draw the conclusion that the country\u2019s debt portfolio had increased  in two years, saying, loan pledges does not amount to physical cash.<br \/>\nHe  said their failure to meet key economic targets is not unusual, adding  the NPP never met any of its targets in its eight-year term of office.<br \/>\nHe  made reference to a 100,000 affordable housing project promised by the  NPP in their manifesto but ended up with not even a single housing  project completed. He said the party used the two years to clear the  mess left behind by the NPP and is now going to embark on a massive  developmental agenda.<br \/>\nMr. Aidoo wondered how on one hand the NPP  will criticize them for initiating the STX project rather than  completing the affordable housing project and on the other hand accuse  them of taking credit for completing projects started by the NPP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Democratic Congress is unfazed by criticisms by the opposition New Patriotic Party that it has failed to meet its economic targets set out in the 2010 budget statement.
