The ruling New Patriotic Party (PNP), which boasts of having wise and intelligent people, now plagiarizes the ideas of the 2020 manifesto of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), which the ruling party perceives as full of boring minds, the Secretary General it has been said by the largest opposition party.
At a town hall meeting in Kumasi, Ashanti region on Tuesday, September 15, 2020 on the NDC manifesto, Mr. Asiedu Nketia asked that “between a trash teacher and his students, who is dumber?”
Asiedu Nketia also said that if the Akufo-Addo government could not deliver in the more than three years it has been in power, what could it achieve in the last three months of its administration with all the mowing that is going on?
Asiedu Nketia also condemned the government’s ban on the importation of accidental vehicles.
The town hall meeting came just one day after NDC flag bearer former President John Mahama told Benjamin Akakpo in an exclusive interview on Class91.3FM’s Executive Breakfast Show that it was good that President Nana Akufo -Addo and the NPP would have started. implementation of the NDC manifest.
He referenced some important decisions recently made by the Akufo-Addo government regarding the ban on the importation of accidental cars, the use of motorcycles for commercial purposes (Okada), and the teacher licensure exam, to clarify his point.
“They have started to implement our manifesto, it is a good thing,” Mahama told Benjamin Akakpo, asking, “What are manifestos used for? They are meant to improve people’s lives, and so if they’ve seen things there, in our manifesto, that are beneficial to current politics, they can start implementing them. “
On the prohibition of car accidents, Mr. Mahama said: “We believe that the Customs Amendment Act was deliberately made to give the vehicle assembly plants an advantage.”
“Now, the point is: it doesn’t favor foreign vehicle assembly plants and it hurts its own auto industry,” Mahama noted, explaining: “A lot of people depend, for employment, on the industry in Ghana; that’s the Abossey Okai, Suame, Kokompe and all of them, and so you don’t pass a bill that says: one, you’re going to ban the importation of salvage cars and you’re going to increase import duty. “
He continued: “And, in fact, the most hostile is the 35 percent import duty on second-hand vehicles.”
“It means that these vehicles are going to be so expensive that everyone will be forced to buy at the vehicle assembly plant, but these upcoming vehicles have little scratches; Something has happened to him, although it is not very serious and we have a very good industry with a lot of experience in which they can fix these vehicles and make them like new ”.
“You’re not going to give up all of that for a semi-assembly plant,” he said.
“I heard the vehicle is almost complete. The only things that don’t exist are tires and engines. That is not technology transfer ”, he hinted.
In his opinion, “even if you send vehicles like that to Kokompe or Suame Magazine, they can fix them, so all they do is put the tires on and take a pulley and drop the motor and screw it in and then they have a car, duty free. , and I heard that the number of models they are making is restricted but you can order other VW models and they give you duty free even if they don’t assemble them, don’t put them together here. “
So far Mr. said, “what the government has said is that it has suspended implementation.”
“It does not mean that they are bringing legislation to Parliament to amend the legislation.
“So they just suspended the implementation and well, anyone can guess that: ‘Let’s wait after the elections and after the elections we will raise the suspension.’ So what the government should do is go to Parliament and amend the law to take care of salvaged vehicles and the punitive 35 percent tax on imported vehicles. “
On his promise to legalize Okada should he win the polls, Mahama said: “As soon as I announced it, there was a lot of pushback from the nuclear power plant, but recently, I realized that the Minister of Transport says they have started the consultation with the interested parties to see how to legalize and regulate it and make it more secure and, then, if they are implementing it from our manifesto, that is fine ”.
Regarding the licensing exam, Mr. Mahama said: “We also talked about the teachers licensing exam … because teachers write the senior exam and then shortly after they leave you say they should come and take another exam ”.
“We said, ‘Strengthen the final exam they take so that you know that anyone who passes that exam is qualified to be a teacher.
“If you want to get licensed, our proposal was to use an interview process to get the license, but we left the position before we could start and the NPP took over and decided that the license should be by examination and that’s why we said it we will do not use exam, we will use another method to do the license instead of the exam and this year they have failed the licensing exam and, therefore, it seems that they are picking up many of the topics of our manifesto ”.
