He claimed to have presented only 10% of the evidence and that the NPP will make the remaining 90% available in due course. Several months after this claim, he has failed to produce the remaining 90%
after it turned out that even the so-called 10% he presented was fabricated. The NPP also sent word to
the Electoral Commission that they were no longer willing to submit the remaining 90%
9. In November,2015 he lied that the NDC Government has borrowed US$ 37 billion in seven years. After this lie and its illogical implication were exposed he quickly shifted the goal post and claimed he was talking about “the value” of money borrowed when our debt has never been calculated through the fraudulent manipulation of figures that he attempted that day.
