H Mensah and President Akufo-Addo were loud and very critical on the NDC&#8217;s when they were in power.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemocracy is useless without a very strong opposition party, so the NDC MPs should give NPP MPs in Parliament a hot chase of our money to the benefit of the citizenry\u201d Dr. Oduro Osae told Afia Pokua.<\/p>\n<p>The governance expert said the Minority should sit up and be more critical as the then NPP\u2019s [running mate], now the Vice President, Mahamudu Bawumia was very hard on the John Dramani Mahama\u2019s administration when he was in power with his series of lecturers proving alternative solutions to the ruling government.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Oduro Osae added that the General Secretary of NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia should up his game by reuniting the party to show the direction to hold the government more accountable.<\/p>\n<p>On the government performance, Dr Oduro-Osae who also doubles as Public Financial Management Expert said President Akufo-Addo should ensure that his government presents the 2018 budget in Parliament by November ending to ensure proper planning.<\/p>\n<p>Contributing to the discussion, the head of Department of Public Administration and Health Services Management at the University of Ghana Business School, Dr. Justice Nyigmah Bawole said the government is still struggling six months in power.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 54 updated by: 54 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Thursday, 13 July 2017 Source: adomonline.com 2017-07-13 President Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo &#13; The Dean of Studies and Research of the Institute of Local Government Studies (ILGS), Dr. Eric Oduro-Osae says the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is not giving President Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo and his government stiffer opposition.
