Former President John Dramani Mahama says the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will adopt a “bottom-up” manifesto for the electioneering campaign next year. This is what has informed a stakeholders’ tour ahead of the unveiling of the party’s manifesto in the quest to reclaim power.
“We don’t think that it is good to make [the manifesto] top-to-bottom,” he said on Monday, October 21, when he met leadership of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA). “It is bottom-up so that we incorporate what the genuine opinions of people who are working in those particular sector have to influence government policy so that when we are implementing the policy, you don’t only own it but you know that you have been part of drawing the policy,” he said. Mr Mahama is meeting the various stakeholders in order to collate opinions in drafting his manifesto for 2020. His consultation tour has seen him already meet the Ghana Bar Association (GBA), the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) and the Catholic Bishops’ Conference.
His meeting with the GMA on Monday had in company NDC’s leadership including chairman Samuel Ofosu Ampofo. President of the GMA Dr Frank Ankobea was happy with the meeting, saying those in the various professions also have voting rights and their opinions must matter in policy-making. He congratulated the former president for the gesture. Mr Mahama assured that the meeting will extend to conditions of service as well as continuous training for medical practitioners.

wo be ti wo saaaamia. now you're doing bottom-up. it is not ede be keke? no be you say, you be ***barred word*** and danced to yen tie obiara teasing us for complaining? now you know bottom-up? good you have learnt a lesson on humility and at least adopted a strategy but this also won't wash oooooooo. eye kraman ahobrase3. this fun-***barred word*** respect is already exposed.
What ***barred word*** is ‘Bottom-up’ Manifesto? I bet by 2024 it will be ‘Bottom-power’ Manifesto. Apuuu!!! I laugh go enter female washroom.
Massa JM, Whether you cook it, roast it, fry it, smoke it, toast it, salt it, marsh it, boil it or whatever you do to your manifesto, We wont eat it. We say we no want your food again oo ton!! Aaaba!!
He has nothing. Reviewer and destroyer of good policies and economic indicators. What happened to the free maternal care under your admin. A policy someone struggled to put in place. Was it not a bottom policy? Yet you destroyed it. Just like you are seeking to destroy the free SHS bottom policy.
Classic case of a person who is seeking a leadership position, but has no vision. We need decisive leadership, not one that incompetently tries to accommodate everybody. You should come out and articulate your vision for the country clearly, and if majority of the populace agree with you, they will vote for you. If you succeed, we praise you, if you fail, we hold you responsible. No good leader ever satisfies everybody. If you consult environmentalists and also go and consult plastic producers, whose opinions will you take?
JUST TO MAKE NOISE
What were your manifestoes when you came to power in 2008 and 2012? Were they 'top-down' or 'bottom-up' approaches? And what happened to the manifestoes when you invented 'create, loot and share' as your main philosophy? Maybe, you need a stakeholders' conference to develop and review your manifesto for 2020. You won't get any finished work to copy from. I bet you.
THE SIGNALS ARE GETTING CLEARER TO THE NPP.
You know what? This will sound like a great idea from the NDC. But I say on AUTHORITY, that today the fears of many Ghanaians that the NDC has NO ORIGINAL IDEA, has been confirmed! A leader must have a VISION of his own. Mahama must first be seen to articulating ORIGINAL ideas. Every party has done consultatiosn since the 2000s, for ideas in strengthening their manifestoes. NDC is FAKE!
