Aboagye expressed disappointment in Mahama\u2019s bitterness towards the policy and its beneficiaries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party announced that we, the New Patriotic Party, were going to distribute tablets to students of senior high schools in this country. The NDC in their usual impossibility character and posture came out to radicalise this announcement, hoping it will never come to reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut on the heels of our hard-working Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the policy was launched, and distribution, as we speak, has started. Isn\u2019t it unfortunate that the former president and the NDC, within the full-blown hypocritical parades, came to display their bitterness towards a policy and especially its beneficiaries who are all Ghanaians of this country?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe incompetent former president, after promising to roll out and distribute tablets across this country and failing to implement this promise, comes to question the priority of the government to do the exact thing that he promised some 7 years ago and could not deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The National Youth Organizer of NPP, Salam Mustapha, also criticized Mahama\u2019s proposal to separate the Ministry of Youth from sports.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Mustapha argued that this would not solve the issue of youth unemployment and showed a lack of understanding of the complexities of the problem.<\/p>\n<p>He questioned Mahama\u2019s intentions, given his previous promise to reduce the number of ministries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis proposed solution to youth unemployment by decoupling the Ministry of Youth and Sports is not only misguided, but it also highlights his lack of understanding of the complexities of the issue. For the avoidance of doubt, sports is one of the means to develop young people, just like creative art.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow then can you take away the very critical vehicle to the Ministry and claim to be solving the problem? Is it the same John Mahama who is promising to reduce the number of ministries now promising to create more?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Director of Communications for Bawumia\u2019s Campaign, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has strongly criticized former President John Dramani Mahama for his recent remarks on the educational sector.
