The idea that the economy is having problems as a result of its precarious status prior to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s government has been dispelled by the minority leader in parliament.
No one, especially the current administration, should ever claim that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) left behind a failing economy, according to Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.
Dr. Ato Forson emphasized in a statement on Monday, September 18, “Again, the NDC left behind a robust economy with very strong buffers.”
The Sinking Fund, Stabilization Fund, Ghana Infrastructure Investment Bank (GIIF), Ghana EXIM Bank, as well as a sizable tax base and oil revenue, were all left behind by the Mahama administration.
This comes after the Minority was recently criticized for calling for the resignation of the Governor of the Bank of Ghana following a 60.8 billion dollar loss in 2022.
In order to save the economy in 2022, Dr. Ernest Yedu Addison and his team need the cooperation of the entire Ghanaian populace, according to Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.
He insists what Dr Addison came to meet was nothing to write home about and should rather be praised for doing a good job so far.
But the Minority Leader warned the Finance Minister not to repeat such wrong assertions.
“The Minister of Finance should carry his mess and his shame,” the Ajumako-Enyan-Essiam Member of Parliament (MP) stressed.
“He should not bring the NDC into matters that border on his greed, state capture for his family and friends as well as his monumental failure in pubic office.
“We did better than they are doing and the NDC will always do better when the good people of Ghana give John Mahama and our party the opportunity to govern from January, 2025.”
