\"MrFormer Minister of Local Government and Rural Development in the NPP administration, Kwadwo Adjei-Darko has cautioned government against borrowing and holding bilateral talks with foreign groups to initiate policies to wrestle the unemployment situation in the country.<\/p>\n

According to Mr Adjei-Darko the unemployment situation in the country has increased because the government has failed to initiate development policies.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Dwaso Nsem<\/strong> on Adom FM<\/strong> Monday, he stated that the government under President Mills has already lost direction in shaping the ‘so-called’ Better Ghana Agenda.<\/p>\n

He accused President Mills of failing to come out with a single policy in his third term in office, after serving two terms as Vice President.<\/p>\n

He stated that policies like the National Youth Employment Programme, National Health Insurance Scheme, School Feeding Programme and the Capitation Grants were all initiated by former President Kufuor as part of efforts to help move the country in the right direction.<\/p>\n

Mr Adjei-Darko also criticized the government for taking praise for the development of the banking sector, which he said was the initiative of the NPP government which provided good economic conditions for the banking sector to develop.<\/p>\n

He noted that under the NPP, there was an increase in the number of banking institutions to about 27 banks in the country.<\/p>\n

However, in a sharp reaction, the Communications Director at the Presidency, Koku Anyidoho said critics have failed to acknowledge the works and projects commissioned during President Mills\u2019 recent regional tour.<\/p>\n

He said that the Mills government has initiated a major policy to fight cocaine and illicit drugs trade at the major border points of the country including the president\u2019s decision to subject himself and government officials to strict body checks at the airports.<\/p>\n

He added that the government had issued a policy to turn schools under trees into brick and block buildings and gave hints about other good policies which he said are on paper and will be implemented soon.<\/p>\n

Mr. Anyidoho condemned the practice where politicians find it difficult to praise to their opponents especially when they are achieving much.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
