Policies made by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo are difficult to implement, Chairman of the National Development Planning Commission, Professor Stephen Adei has said.

Though Professor Stephen Adei lauds the several policies introduced by the NPP government, he maintains that the difficulty with the implementation of some of these policies make it difficult for people to derive its full benefits.

“The policies of Akufo-Addo are the best policies for Ghana but its implementation has been quite difficult," he said.

For example, his vision and programmes for agriculture for the cocoa industry are unparalleled but implementation have been difficult.”

Nana Akufo Addo in the 2016 election made a plethora of promises, but few have been implemented, a case Prof Adei says is due to financial constraints.

According to the National Development Planning Commission chairman, resource constraints remain a major cause for ineffective implementation of most government policies.

“Implementation has been difficult for one major reason and that it is resource constraints.

"Resource constraints have been tighter than it has ever been since 2001 when we became HIPC.

Among the policies of the NPP are the Free Senior High School (SHS) and the One Village one dam, which has received major challenges.
