The National Youth Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Salam Mustapha, has accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of copying their policies.
Speaking in response to the NDC’s pledge to absorb tuition fees for all first-year tertiary students if voted into power, Mr. Mustapha claimed the opposition party is merely adopting ideas initially proposed by the NPP.
“They are taking from some of our policies and adding them to theirs. Bawumia said something in the past, and now they are also saying the same thing. I don’t have a problem if it’s going to help Ghana, which is what we are looking for,” he said.
Mr. Mustapha in an interview on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem on Tuesday, also expressed doubts about the NDC’s ability to implement these policies effectively.
He pointed out that, there are existing systems like the Ghana Student Loan Trust, suggesting that the NDC’s promise is neither new nor innovative.
The NPP youth organiser further described the NDC’s proposal as a “vote-buying gimmick,” questioning the integrity of their intentions.
“If you didn’t initiate something yourself, it is very difficult to implement it, and that is the problem with the NDC. If they are giving a loan to students to pay their fees, then everyone can go for a loan to pay their fees.
“There is the Ghana Student Loan Trust, so it is not a new thing. This seems like a vote-buying gimmick because they don’t have any genuine intention. There is no integrity in the things that they say,” he added.
