In a recent interview on Accra-based Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme, Sammy Gyamfi, the National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), accused presidential staffer, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, of exhibiting signs of illiteracy.
Gyamfi's jibe at Aboagye was in response to a challenge the staffer posed to him, asking him to mention one social intervention that the NDC has undertaken over the 16 years that it has been in government.
Gyamfi defended the NDC by stating that the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) is one of their interventions that has significantly helped education in the country.
He also mentioned other interventions such as the free cocoa fertilizers, free cocoa hybrid seedlings, provision of laptops, school uniforms and sandals as part of interventions the NDC has rolled out in the past.
Gyamfi defined social intervention as “any intervention by a government in the social affairs of the people,” before adding that Aboagye's question betrayed his understanding of social intervention, and that it was a very illiterate question.
He stressed that if Aboagye had read and learned about social interventions, he would not have made a mockery of himself on the radio. The NDC has often been accused by the NPP of having no major social interventions, despite claiming to have socialist leanings.
