The Minority Chief Whip and Member of Parliament for Nsawam-Adoagyiri, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has launched a scathing attack on the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), describing the administration as a “scam”, that has failed Ghanaians within a short period in office.
Addressing the Minority Caucus Workshop held at the Accra City Hotel on Monday, May 18, 2026 Mr. Annoh-Dompreh said the worsening economic conditions and growing public dissatisfaction with the government should motivate the Minority in Parliament to intensify pressure on the administration.
“We cannot sit back while the cocoa farmer is wailing, the teachers and nurses are wailing, public servants are wailing and market women are wailing. This is the reflection of the scam of the NDC government,” he declared.
The Minority Chief Whip said the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), despite its reduced numbers in Parliament, had distinguished itself as a “Mighty Minority” through effective scrutiny of government policies and actions.
According to him, the caucus had successfully repositioned itself following the party’s defeat in the last general elections and was now “stronger, more agile and well informed,” ahead of the 2028 elections.
Mr. Annoh-Dompreh stated that the Minority had remained focused on exposing what he described as the failures and inconsistencies of the government, insisting that the NDC had become unpopular “even faster than anticipated.”
He cited recent developments including the return of power outages, popularly known as “Dumsor” and the reduction in cocoa producer prices, as evidence of poor governance and economic mismanagement.
On the ongoing debate surrounding the Bank of Ghana’s 2025 financial statement, the Minority Chief Whip accused the government of deliberately politicising the matter in an attempt to divert public attention from deeper governance challenges.
“In recent times, the critical national debate on the Bank of Ghana’s 2025 Financial Statement, which was unnecessarily politicised and prematurely addressed has exposed the NDC Government’s desperation to mislead Ghanaians at all costs,” he said.
Mr. Annoh-Dompreh also praised members of the Minority Caucus for what he described as their resilience and commitment over the past 16 months, despite political attacks and the loss of one of their colleagues in Parliament.
He revealed that the caucus had instituted mentorship programmes for first-time MPs and strengthened committee work to improve parliamentary performance and public communication. Calling for unity within the caucus, the Minority Chief Whip urged members to remain committed to holding the government accountable while presenting themselves as a credible alternative government.
“The hope of a prosperous Ghana is still etched in the hearts of our people, and we are indeed capable of delivering this to Ghanaians,” he said.
