Let’s Do Critical Introspection And Work Hard For 2020

Mr Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu, the Majority Leader in Parliament, has called on the members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), especially the leadership to address petty squabbles and work hard to retain power in next year’s elections.

He said the party was a big family with people from different backgrounds and therefore, needed to do a critical introspection and address any challenges that could impede their ambition of retaining power.

Speaking at the party’s National Delegates Conference in Accra, Mr Mensah-Bonsu announced that, it would conduct its parliamentary primaries in April 2020 and believed that it was only when the party remained united that they could defeat their opponents in the upcoming elections.

Contrary to the claim by the National Democratic Congress that the government had performed abysmally, the Majority Leader insisted that the NPP’s government performed better and improved the livelihoods of the ordinary Ghanaians.

On Parliamentary work, he stated that with its majority, it successfully passed bills including one on Office of the Special Prosecutor, the Bauxite Development, Research and Development Mining, and Statistics bill.

Mr Mensah-Bonsu also recounted some of the achievements of the Party over the three-year period through its ingenuity and innovative policies by introducing programmes including; the Planting for Food and Jobs that boosted food production and the Nation Builders Corps that employed about 100,000 university graduates.
