Former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings has described the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government as the most corrupt administration under the 4th Republic.
She indicated that “at first we thought ex-President Kufuor’s administration was topping the list but with the rise in corrupt practices which have led to severe poverty, there is no doubt that this government tops the list.
“Businesses have collapsed and there is total hardship and poverty all over the place which has come about due to corrupt practices on the part of the present NDC government, Nana Konadu said.
Bombshell
She threatened to expose the mind-blowing corrupt practices under the NDC government especially as the general elections draw closer.
The ex-First Lady, who is also the flagbearer of the National Democratic Party (NDP), spoke on a wide range of national issues during an interview with King Edward of Hello FM in Kumasi.

She added that “the present NDC administration is stealing like nobody’s business. Mismanagement and corruption were minimal during Mr. Rawlings era.
Bloated Figures
She lambasted the current NDC administration of bloating the cost of government projects to enrich themselves, as majority of the population wallow in abject poverty.
Roads and hospital projects, which are supposed to cost 50,000 Euros, are now being constructed at a staggering amount of 350,000 Euros,” the NDP leader said.
She told Ghanaians not to consider the so-called road, hospital and school projects being undertaken by the government but think about the cost of those projects.
Jabs NDC
Nana Konadu stated categorically that the NDC government has not initiated any new programme to improve the lives of the masses since it assumed office eight years ago.
She disclosed that every government is mandated to construct roads, schools and hospitals.
Nana Konadu said “what new thing has the present government introduced,” she said, urging the electorate to critically assess their living conditions and vote for positive change this year.
Collapsed Businesses
Businesses that were once making giant strides are now either collapsing or relocating to neighbouring Cote d’Ivoire or Togo due to the trend of bad leadership.
Stolen Ideas
Nana Konadu accused the NDC government of continually stealing new ideas and policies of the NDP, saying that she had decided not to declare the ideas of the NDP publicly to stop the NDC from stealing them.
She said the NDP, when voted into political office, would boost salt production, transform technical and vocational education and decentralise the agricultural sector to boost food production.
Montie 3
Nana Konadu said the four-month prison term slapped on the Montie 3 by the Supreme Court was appropriate, saying that the convicts had insulted respectable people in the country for many years.
“Nobody was checking them to stop the insults and I am surprised that people now have voices to cry for them.”
