If he  now doubts the competence of the Government statistician, then he is  giving us the cause to also believe that the NPP was manipulating  figures when they were in power; how can he doubt the competence of the  institution which contains people who could be NPP members? \u201d he  quizzed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NDC Member of Parliament for Adenta, Kojo Adu Asare, has posited that recent public utterances by General Secretary of the NPP, Lawyer Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, leaves a sour taste in one\u2019s mouth, pointing out that his penchant to speculate needlessly when he could easily verify an issue shows how incompetent he is, which if not [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-275359","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
