He made the statement at a press conference held in Wa to declare his intention to contest for the deputy general secretary position.
”From the happenings in this country, right from the economy to the general welfare of Ghanaians, it is clear that Ghanaians are highly disappointed in the super incompetent government of President Akufo Addo and Dr. Bawumia.
Ghanaians were brutally deceived, as a result, Ghanaians sold their mandate for only the NPP to come to mess up things and also to amass wealth,” he alleged.
Mr. Kale continued, “Despite being so young in government, barely 18 months, they are saddled with so many corruption allegations.â€

Mr. Kale called on the media to work to expose the government in all its corrupt dealings for the betterment of the country.
On his ambition of becoming the Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, Mr. Kale who is a former regional secretary of the NDC said if he wins, he will complement effectively the efforts and objectives of the General Secretary.
He said he wants to serve as a catalyst to bring improvement to the management of the party at the national level and will help the national executives to develop a comprehensive welfare system for the party.
”I think the time has come for the party at the national level to come out with a blue print that will ensure that party executive right from the branches to the national level are duly compensated so that when we are not in power they will not be totally disappointed in us,†he added.
