Dr Francis Adomako, the Ashanti Regional Organiser for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who doubles as the dean of all regional organisers, has given a damning assessment of President John Dramani Mahama’s administration since assumption of office on 7th January, 2025.
According to him, despite President Mahana and NDC leading members’ noise in opposition that, when giving the mandate, they were going to stop or end the illegal mining popularly known in Ghana as ‘galamsey’ in no time, galamsey is on the higher side. Speaking to the media on Tuesday, 9th December, 2025,
Francois, as he is affectionately called in the political space, said, “As we speak now, galamsey is on the higher side, roads are bad,School fees are on the higher side, leading to so many deaths in less than 1 year.”

He said Ghanaians would start next year (2026) with about a 10 per cent increase in light bills and a 16 per cent increase in water bills.
Francois, who is highly tipped as the next Ashanti Regional NPP Secretary, said regrettably,”200 million is giving to NDC party faithfuls across the 276 constituencies,Agenda 111 hospital projects have halted,Appointment letters of teeming youth terminated and Unemployment is on the higher side.
He said Mr Mahama and the NDC promised 3 unemployed people would get employed for the same position in a firm, but working on a shift basis is a fiasco now.
The Ashanti Regional NPP Organiser, who is also a senior lecturer at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), revealed that students in training colleges are being fed once a day instead of three (3) times a day.Besides, electricity bills and water bills have been increased more than 20 percent.Francois said despite criticism against the procurement of new aircraft by the Akufo-Addo-led administration, the NDC government prefers to buy 2 presidential aircraft and 4 helicopters instead of using the money to get the unemployed youth into employment.
“As we speak, the Ashanti regional chairman of NDC, Nana Akwasi, is even crying that there are no jobs for the youth.Adding, “For every one gallon of fuel we buy, we pay 4.5 cedis extra.” Ghanaian worker salaries have been increased by just 9 per cent, while monies allocated to the presidency have been increased by more than 60 per cent.
As if that was not enough, within the eleven months of Mahama’s government incompetence Ghana has recorded the worst WASSCE results ever; that means over 200,000 students cannot continue tertiary education because they failed maths.”
Against this background, he cautioned Ghanaians again about putting their trust in President John Mahama’s led administration to deliver his numerous promises for the betterment of the nation.
