Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga
Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga has advocated for the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) to ensure fairness in governance, arguing that it would secure long-term political stability for the party, as public satisfaction determines electoral outcomes.
“I believe that if we do this, the NPP will remain in opposition for nearly a century because Ghanaians will be so satisfied with the government. Look at Rwanda, everyone is happy with the president. When the general populace is satisfied, they will continue to support the party that serves them well,” the Member of Parliament for Bawku said in an interview with Metro TV on Monday, February 3, 2025.
The Harvard Law School-trained lawyer called on the NDC to ensure equal opportunities for all Ghanaians, regardless of their political affiliation.
He emphasized that every young person in the country deserves fair and unbiased access to state resources and opportunities.
The former Minister of Information condemned the practice of protocol recruitment into the security services, where the ruling party enrolls large numbers of its youth. He insisted that he has never taken advantage of such offers and criticized the system as unfair.
“…By questioning it, I hope it will serve as a constant reminder to the NDC government to strive towards creating a meritocratic society. Every young person in this country must have fair and equal opportunities to access state-provided opportunities. It should not be based on party affiliation. All the initiatives we aim to achieve, such as creating a 24-hour economy, should be free from political bias.
“All the recruitment opportunities we are creating for the youth of this country should be party-color blind. The Women’s Development Bank, for example, should not serve only NDC women or NPP women. Every woman in this country must have a fair opportunity,” he stressed.
