The NADMO Coordinator for Abuakwa North Constituency in the Eastern Region who doubles as the Communication Director for the ruling New Patriotic Party, NPP in that same Constituency Mr Osei Owusu has said Dr Omane Boamah disgraced himself in an attempt to justify his party with regards to Bawumia daring NDC to name even 1 Social Intervention policy they brought to help alleviate poverty in the country.
He said a Calibre of Dr Omane Boamah should have really be able to differentiate between Social Intervention and Social Infrastructure because he goofed in his response to Bawumia.
In a studio Discussion on the Susubiribi Morning Show on Radio1FM, 100.7MHZ on Thursday October 25, 2018, he told the host, Captain Kofi Owusu that the former Communication Minister in the erstwhile John Dramani led National Democratic Congress administration Dr Omane Boamah, in attempt to justify the NDC he should have thoroughly reconsidered the difference between Infrastructure and Interventions because he based his arguments on infrastructure.
“Beyond expanding the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) and initiating and implementing the Progressively Free SHS, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government also introduced other social intervention programmes such as free school uniforms, free school sandals, free textbooks, free cocoa fertiliser, free cocoa seedlings as well as payment of premium to cocoa farmers while increasing the producer price of cocoa, former Minister of Communication,” Dr. Edward Omane Boamah has said.
However, Mr Osei Owusu said, putting up infrastructure is a basic responsibility of every government and that the NDC should not see that to be any extra ordinary achievement when he referred him to check Former President Mahama’s notion on infrastructure development.
“For the NPP to tell us they have constructed roads, hospitals, bridges, schools and other projects is an exercise in mediocrity. Every government does these” – Vice Presidential Candidate Mahama (2008).
Moreover, the Abuakwa North NABCO Coordinator applauded the interventions brought up by the ruling Party and advised they rather go back tobooks the read what Social Intervention means.
