General Secretary of National Democratic Congress (NDC), Fifi Fiavi Kwetey
The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, has called on the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to cease what he described as the “ugly noise” from the opposition and allow President Mahama to properly reset the country.
Kwetey accused members of the NPP of hypocrisy in their recent commentary on Ghana’s energy challenges.
“I know the mischief that is going on. The NPP people are shouting ‘dumsor is back.’ They have no conscience. Their level of shamelessness is simply unbelievable. They destroyed the power sector over the past eight years. I hear NPP leaders, MPs, and Dr Mahamudu Bawumia [former Vice President] speak, you have no shame. If you had even an ounce of shame, you would be quiet because of the level of calamity you left behind in this country,” he said.
According to a report by ChannelOneNews.com, Kwetey argued that the NPP government left behind a deeply indebted power sector, despite inheriting key initiatives such as the Energy Sector Levy Act (ESLA), introduced by the previous NDC administration.
“We handed them ESLA, yet they still left the power sector in the worst financial condition in the country’s history. If that’s the situation, it can’t be fixed in five months,” he stated.
Kwetey went on to reiterate his call for the opposition to exercise restraint.
“They don’t understand that the mood of the country has changed. They go into opposition and start making ugly noise, pretending as if they have all the answers. Shut up and be quiet, and let Ghana be properly reset. You have no moral authority to speak. They need to be quiet,” he emphasised.
