Minority Chief Whip in Parliament, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has expressed surprise at what he describes as the swift decline of the current National Democratic Congress (NDC) government under John Mahama as reported by Ghana Web.
While the Nsawam-Adoagyire MP admitted he anticipated governance challenges under Mahama’s leadership, he did not expect those issues to surface so early into their term.
“Most governments take about one or two years before problems become evident. But with the NDC, they’ve been in office for less than six months, and already their shortcomings are becoming clear,” he stated during an interview on Asaasepa Radio.
Annoh-Dompreh criticized the NDC’s approach to governance, claiming it lacks direction and capacity to bring meaningful progress. He was particularly concerned about the conduct of key government officials, including the Minister for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu.
He faulted Ofosu for attacking Reverend John Ntim Fordjour, a Ranking Member on Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, over cocaine airplane allegations.
“If you are the Minister of Communications and speak on behalf of the President, then every time you speak, it is as though the President himself is speaking,” Annoh-Dompreh said, expressing disapproval over what he termed unpresidential responses from the minister.
He further warned Ghanaians to brace for turbulence in the coming years. “By next year, you will witness the numerous scandals that will plague the Mahama administration in 2026,” he predicted.
According to the MP, the signs of failure within the NDC government are already evident and could lead to deeper issues if not addressed swiftly.
