The National Youth Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Salam Mustapha, has accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of plagiarizing some of Dr. Bawumia’s policy initiatives during the launch of their youth manifesto.
According to Mustapha, the NDC intentionally lifted these policies and hastily included them in their youth manifesto outdooring ceremony, a move he claims the NPP is unbothered by.
“Some of the policies unveiled by the NDC last week are ideas that Dr. Bawumia had already introduced,” Mustapha stated.
“This just goes to show that the NPP thinks far ahead. Most of the policies the NDC is now talking about were originally ours. While they may have rushed to launch their youth manifesto, we don’t mind.
Speaking with Nana Yaa Brefo on Onua FM, he said the NDC knew the promises they were claiming to be theirs were part of NPP’s policies. He stated that Dr. Bawumia was the first to propose free university education for people with disabilities if elected in 2024 and that it was only after this that the NDC added it to their youth manifesto.
Additionally, the promise to train one million youths in ICT, he says was initially mentioned by Dr. Bawumia on February 7th, when he “outlined his vision.”
Mustapha further argued that even before the NDC’s recent youth manifesto, the NPP’s 2020 manifesto contained similar promises, and they have already begun implementing initiatives like building Tech Giants to teach coding to the youth.
The politician highlighted that the NDC’s pledge to provide free data for tertiary institutions was another example of an idea stolen from the NPP, which the party has already started implementing its free data services in public universities and piloting the initiative in senior high schools.
For him, “The real challenge is whether the NDC can implement these ideas effectively” as “when you don’t originate an idea, implementing it becomes much harder,” Mustapha stated.
