Minority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh has accused the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) of worsening economic conditions in the country, describing the administration’s performance as a “scam” that is being exposed by rising hardship.
Speaking at a New Patriotic Party (NPP) Minority Caucus workshop held at the Accra City Hotel on Monday, the Nsawam-Adoagyiri MP said Ghanaians from all sectors were struggling under the current government.
“We cannot sit back while the cocoa farmer is wailing! The teachers and nurses are wailing! Public servants are wailing! And market women are wailing!” he said. “This is the reflection of the scam of the NDC government.”
He argued that the Minority Caucus in Parliament had become more united and strategic following the party’s defeat in the 2024 general elections, and was now better positioned to hold the government accountable.
“With a ‘small’ Minority, we have managed to achieve a lot,” he said, adding that the caucus was now “stronger, more agile, well-informed, and indeed ready to take on 2028.”
Annoh-Dompreh, who described the caucus as the “Mighty Minority,” urged members to maintain unity and intensify their scrutiny of government policies.
He also criticised the government for what he described as poor economic management, citing the return of power supply challenges and reductions in cocoa producer prices.
“The return of the economy crippling ‘dumsor’ may remind them that problems are not solved by promises, but by deliberate efforts to improve a system,” he stated.
He further described recent changes in cocoa pricing as “the biggest deceit devised by the NDC government.”
The Minority Chief Whip also accused the government of attempting to shift attention from economic challenges through politicisation of national issues, including the Bank of Ghana’s 2025 financial statements.
He pledged that the Minority would continue to actively challenge government policies through parliamentary engagement and public communication.
Despite his criticism, Annoh-Dompreh urged NPP members to remain confident, insisting the party remained capable of restoring economic stability if given another opportunity to govern.
