The Dean of the University of Ghana School of Law, Professor Raymond Atuguba has called on the government to admit to the economic illness in the country and treat them.
According to him, the government should put things in order to prevent a coup in Ghana because the climate and the environment, national and immediate international, are conducive for one.
“We do not want a coup in this country but if we do not act quickly we may have one in our hands. There is one thing to do now, prevent coups in Ghana since the climate and the environment, national and immediate international, are conducive for one. We must compel the government to acknowledge the current economic mess, mostly, and previous governments, to a larger extent,” he said.
“Ghana’s economic problems started before Covid-19. On balance, Covid-19 was a good thing for Africa and Ghana.”
Prof Atuguba made this known in an interview on Accra based-Television.
He further stated that as wicked as it is, the E-levy is the only way to save Ghana’s economy from the collapse in the short term.
“The first step is to pass the E-levy immediately and implement it effectively. To prevent the collapse of the economy and a return to the stronghold of the IMF, we have no choice but to pass it…. As awful and wicked as it is, it is the only way to save our economy from the collapse in the short term.”
“The starting point for passing the E-levy is for government to stop lying to the citizenry, come clean and confess that they thought the job of managing the economy was simple, but now they know better, plead with the people of Ghana that we have limited options now,” the former executive secretary to former President Mahama added.
