Mahama have not been fair to the good people of Ghana – Haruna Mohammed

The Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party, Haruna Mohammed, has rated the ruling National Democratic Congress government one out of ten for its governance performance, citing what he described as questionable spending practices.

He made the comments on Channel One TV’s weekend news analysis programme, The Big Issue, on Saturday, January 10.

So approximately 2.7 billion for the lean government. Whiles there has been an accusation and pointing of fingers to the previous government of having a huge number, that previous government was spending GH₵326,907,847.”
