A Leading member of the National Democratic Congress in Awutu-Senya East, Mr Osei Kofi, has commended President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s government for efforts towards making Ghana a better place to live.

Speaking at a press conference at Kasoa in the Central Region, leading NDC member stated that the former regime under former President John Dramani Mahama though did its part, the six months governance under President Akufo-Addo has been very impressive.
He disclosed that the visionary leadership of President Akufo-Addo had attracted huge external inflows running into billions of dollars to support government activities. He also lauded government for putting in place stringent measures to lay the Special Presecution bill before Parliament to be passed into law.
Mr. Osei praised government for special initiative policies and programmes outlined for implementation including; planting for food and jobs, free SHS, One-district-one-factory, and the one-million-dollars project mapped for 275 constituencies to fight poverty.
