The National Democratic Congress government has come under fire from Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin for failing to deliver tangible results after one year in office.
He has called for clarity on whether the administration has initiated any significant development projects or resolved outstanding debts to contractors.
According to Afenyo-Markin, contractors who secured bank loans to undertake public works projects remain unsettled, prompting concerns about the broader economic implications.
He dismissed the government’s emphasis on macroeconomic indicators, citing a lack of corresponding improvements in the daily lives of citizens.
“Last year, 2025, what did the government do? Did it pay contractors who had worked and borrowed from banks?” he queried.
“If the economy is stagnating and we continue to talk about paper growth, I am interested in the cocoa farmer and the real impact on citizens,” he said.
In his view, statistics alone are insufficient if they do not translate into better living conditions for ordinary Ghanaians.
Speaking in an interview on Channel One TV on February 16, 2026, he said, “I am not here to talk about numbers that have no effect. If the numbers have made a positive impact, I will acknowledge and applaud them. But so far, one year in office, the government has not made any real impact.”
