Ms Gloria Akuffo, a member of the incoming government’s transition team responsible for legal affairs, says the Mahama-led government presided over many wrongs, posing a daunting task for the NPP government to surmount.
Many Ghanaians reposed high confidence in the Akufo-Addo-led government to deliver on their many promises. But assessing the performance of the outgoing government, Ms. Akuffo says a lot of things need to be done if the NPP would achieve its promises to Ghanaians.
‘The battle is the Lord’s’ was the catchphrase of the New Patriotic Party during years of campaigning which paid off eventually on December 9 when the party’s presidential candidate was declared winner of the December 7 general elections.
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo won the presidential election with 5,716,026 representing 53.85% of the total votes cast, beating off stiff competition from the incumbent president, John Mahama who had 4, 713,277 representing 44.40 percent.
At a thanksgiving service at the Accra Sports Stadium by the NPP on Sunday, Ms Gloria Akuffo told TV3’s Nana Aduah, “the battle did not end at the end of the elections; indeed the battle has just began”.
The transition team began its work on Wednesday December 14 prior to the handing over of power on January 7, 2017, but Ms. Akuffo analysed, “there are a lot of things to be done, too many things have gone wrong.”
Though she did not mention exactly things that have gone wrong, this is what she said of the work ahead: “In my life I have realized renovation is more difficult than to start from the beginning. Indeed there is a lot more to be done”.
Prof. Mike Ocquaye, who has been tipped as the next Speaker of Parliament, early on told TV3 the NPP is “humbled by the fact that there is work ahead”.
Nonetheless, he said, the party has more people capable of surmounting whatever challenge that is ahead of them.
Meanwhile, Dean of Graduate Studies and Research at the Institute of Local Government Studies (ILGS), Dr. Eric Oduro Osae has charged ministers who would be appointed to listen to the chief directors in their respective ministries who have the technical expertise, which he identified as the weak point of the outoing administration.

"Many Ghanaians reposed high confidence in the Akufo-Addo-led government to deliver on their many promises.

ENTER THE LITANY OF 'REASONS WHY WE MUST STILL STUDY THE SCENE; GHANAIANS MUST EXERCISE PATIENCE AS WE INHERITED A COLLAPSED TREASURY. WE KNOW YOU ALL SPENT A LOT FIGHTING TO GET THIS FAR. WE ARE PATIENT... EVEN IF THE REAL SHOW WOULD BEGIN IN YOUR 'SECOND TERM.'
Madam FIX IT and ***barred word***
Npp will surely deliver on its promises.however that would not stop Npp from exposing the rot left by Ndc. Npp will let Ghanaians know the extent of ur incompetence and corruption . Just wait and see what will happen to the corrupt leaders in this country
Mahama and his table top government. Feel vry sorry for them the incompetence was unprecedented. Some will definitely go to jail. Transition kwraa they can't do it. Packing papers in bags and stuff... We thank God their National service has ended... Ndc full of tra sh.
i believe it would better not to vote at all because politicians are damn wicked and terrible. you make all these promises and we fall for it, and now you thing mahama did so many wrongs so it would take time to fulfill the promises. didnt you know that you are likely to face some problems and you went about promising to restore teacher trainee allowance, build one factory in every district, one village one dam, cut taxes, cut water and light bills, cut fuel prices and all ***barred word***. Shame on you. if you dont take care, nana addo would be hooted at and pelted with stones if he is not able to fulfill some of the promises in about six months. liars. i suspect the first six months would be sharing of positions and infighting by those who may not get positions.
