Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr, has criticised some National Democratic Congress (NDC) members, saying they are more interested in who will succeed President John Dramani Mahama than in helping him deliver his agenda.
Mr Pratt said some of President Mahama’s appointees had lost sight of why they were brought into government.
“They don't care about the reset. They don't care about restructuring the economy. They don't care about anything. All they care about is replacing him,” he stated.
He said the situation was a betrayal of President Mahama, who returned to power with a promise to address challenges in areas such as education and healthcare through his reset agenda.
“To be honest, I feel very sad for President John Dramani Mahama. I mean, the betrayal of President John Dramani Mahama is monumental,” he said.
Mr Pratt also criticised the NDC for not paying enough attention to the government’s 24-hour economy policy.
“Visit the NDC social media platforms and see what is happening there. Who is talking about how to achieve the 24-hour economy? That's not their concern. It's about who is going to replace Mahama. It's so sad. It's unbelievable,” he added.
He expressed sympathy for President Mahama, saying some members were making it difficult for him to assert his authority.
“What? Poor Mahama. Poor Mahama, and he's sitting there being held hostage; he hasn’t been able to crack the whip, and they're dancing around him in circles and making nonsense of all the proclamations he has made,” he said.
Mr Pratt added that the situation suggests that those in charge are not focused on the needs of Ghanaians.
