He argued that it is hypocritical for Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom to make such false allegations against the President without addressing the Institute of Economic Affairs’ (IEA) exposé on the Kufuor government’s abuse of incumbency in the 2008 elections.

Contributing to a panel discussion on Radio Gold, Dr. Omane Boamah said: “If Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom has any credibility left in terms of dealing with abuse of incumbency; I want him to step forward and pronounce on the IEA expose on the IEA’s website about the gargantuan expenditure which the NPP engaged in in the year 2008 elections. I am yet to hear Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom on that.”

On Thursday, Dr. Nduom in a post on his Facebook page accused President John Mahama of using tax payers money to “tour the 10 regions, campaigning, touting his record, asking to be returned to office.”

He questioned why the Electoral Commission (EC) has failed to probe the source of funds being used by the President to embark on this nationwide tour.

In response, Dr. Omane Boamah insisted that President Mahama is not campaigning.

“He [President Mahama] is delivering on his mandate to the good people of Ghana and by all indications, the people are clearly appreciative of what he has done,” he explained.
