President Akufo-Addo-Bawumia New Patriotic Party Government is touted to be the only Government in the fourth Republic with much money at its disposal but has failed to perform well in managing the economy.
Comrade Bawa Aminu Sumaila, Akuapem north Aspiring Communication Officer of the opposition National Democratic Congress revealed the Government has so far had over Ghc500 billion at their disposal but has not been utilised well enough as compared to Ghc200 billion the erstwhile NDC got.
According to him, the NPP only boast of the implementation of the free SHS policy and construction of toilet facilities across the various MMDAs as what the said money has been used for.
He attributed the government’s failure to renting of high-cost private jets, corruption, unpatriotic attitude of the President and other appointees, among many other reasons that could have been forgone.
Comrade Bawa Aminu Sumaila was worried most Ghanaians and other financial experts have kept quiet on the state of the economy for fear of being victimised by security personnel infuriated by Government machinery.
“People cannot speak out on some challenges of the economy because it looks like we are in a military regime. People who boldly express their views are normally victimized by the police and soldiers” he said.
The NDC Communicator again revealed Ghana’s debt as at now stands at GHc393 billion as of June 2022 from the Ghc120 billion the Mahama-led NDC left in 2016.
“Cost of living has gone up due to the poor management of the economy led by the Bawumia-led management team. People cannot afford daily meals, pay school fees and even have a meaningful life” the NDC Communicator added.
He, however, urged Ghanaians to remain resolute and have confidence in the NDC to revive and strengthen the economy when voted into power in 2025.
