IMANI boss, Franklin Cudjoe, says his organization did not say anywhere that “in its IMANIFESTO” they “gave government 72% percent for the fulfillment of its 2016 manifesto promises.”
According to Franklin, IMANI scored the government 48.78% for the overall fulfillment of its 2016 manifesto promises. He, however, acknowledged that the NPP has successfully incorporated 70% of its 2016 manifesto into policy design and implementation.
“IMANI analysis did indicate 70 percent of all NPP manifesto promises have featured in policy design with varying levels of implementation.”
“Manifesto promises which have seen complete implementation make up approximately 27 percent of the total commitments made by the NPP in 2016. The NPP says it has done 29% instead. IMANI counted 510 promises, the NPP says they counted 388.” Mr. Cudjoe opined in a Facebook post.
Areas, where there are clear discrepancies in figures from the government and that of Imani, include Infrastructure. The NPP says they made 45 promises and have fully executed only 5 while IMANI “interestingly counted 58 promises under infrastructure and found out that the NPP government has fully implemented 19” with 18 “partially implemented” and 21 to be fulfilled. This scores them a good 46.44% on infrastructure according to the IMANI Progress Score Card.
Going by IMANI’s report “the NPP had done more in infrastructure than they claim. Infrastructure promises verified by IMANI were extracted from( roads, railways, ports and harbors, maintenance schemes, aviation, ICT, Housing and water infrastructure).”
IMANI analysis revealed that with almost a year to go to the polls, the NPP had scored 54.35 % on the delivery of its commitments on the economy, 46.21% on governance, 39.13 % on human capital development, 43.78% on social services and 46.44% on infrastructure.
