"When they go low, we go high" - Mahama responds to NPP

President Mahama has quoted the first lady of the United States of America to back is response to all the ‘insults’ and accusations made at the NPP manifesto launch on Sunday.

In a tweet on his handle today (Monday) President Mahama said the NPP held an ‘insultfest’ and not a manifesto launch.

The flagbearer of the New Patriotic party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Sunday, October 9, 2016 launched the 2016 manifesto of the party at the Trade Fair Centre, Accra.

Speaking at the launch, Nana Addo outlined his visions for the country if voted into power.

"My vision for Ghana is an optimistic, self-confident and prosperous nation with a strong and thriving democratic society in which mutual trust and economic opportunities exist for all, irrespective of their background," he said.

The vice presidential nominee of the New Patriotic Party, Dr Mahamadu Bawumia also said the NDC-led administration which has been entrusted with the duty of overseeing the national purse is rather emptying the content into their private pockets.

Some sections of Ghanaians have asked the NPP to come out clean on how it intends to implement its “one factory, one dam” policy, as well as its “one district, one factory” promise.

But Dr Bawumia responded by saying that “don’t ask where the money is coming from. If you stop stealing we will use the money for development.”

He argued that Ghana is a rich country and needs people from the NPP who can manage its resources well to improve the lives of Ghanaians.
