The PDS obfuscated facts and wowed the NPP administration to sell ECG to them after they (NPP government) ignored the red flags raised by the Minority in parliament about the deal to the chagrin of most discerning Ghanaians. In Iess than a year down the memory lane we are told the agreement has been suspended and ECG is to take over again because of lack of due diligence on the part of the NPP administration.
Did that really come to you as a surprise?
Well it never came as a surprise to me because Ghanaians voted for Nana Akufo Addo and the NPP in 2016 due to lack of due diligence and if you have been wondering what exactly is the cause of the mess Ghana currently finds itself in, then now you have an answer. It is simply as a result of lack of due diligence in formulating and implementing policies and undertaking agreements.

1. They made campaign promises without due diligence...

2. They appointed mostly incompetent, clueless and corrupt people to sensitive positions as ministers, Board Chairs/members, Council Chairs/members etc without due diligence.....

3.They implemented Free SHS with no due diligence.....

4. They implemented the luxury vehicle tax without due diligence....

5.They promised 1D1F without due diligence...

6. They promised USD 1 million per Constituency per year without due diligence....

7.They promised 1 village 1 Dam with no due diligence....

8. They renegotiated the Ameri power deal without due diligence...

9. They jumped to collapse Banks without due diligence ..

10. They revoked licenses of credible and duly registered micro finance companies without due diligence....

11. They made thousands of Ghanaians jobless due to lack of due diligence

12.They clear corrupt officials of wrong doings without due diligence......

13.They attack journalist and free speech without due diligence... Etc

Remember President Akufo Addo said he was in a hurry and understandably due diligence will never make sense and may seem as time wasting to a man in a hurry.

So you see Ghana's current mess is a synergy of lack of due diligence in policy formulation and implementation and corruption

Let us drop our social contract with the NPP in 2020 for lack of due diligence on the part of the Ghanaian voter in 2016, just as the PDS has been dropped in less than a year for lack of due diligence.
