The Vice President as part of his campaign tour has stated that he has his own vision different from the current President and that of the NPP.
This statement from the Vice President has gotten Ghanaians to be thinking aloud to give reasons as to why the economy had to go to the IMF.
A National Communication Team member of the NPP, Solomon Owusu, speaking to Kasapa fm on phone says the Vice President who remains the Head of the Economic Management Team and the Chair of the Police Council’s emphatic statement of having his own vision could safely be cited as the reason the economy was brought to its kneels hence the decision by the government to go to the IMF.
Mr. Owusu asked the Vice President a simple question as to whether or not in his leadership of the Economic Management Team, he has being running the economy with his vision that he prouds himself with?
The communication team member went ahead to entreat Npp delegates not to make the mistake of placing the Vice President in a 4th position in the upcoming NPP primaries since as he claims, his vision is different from that of the current President and that of the NPP.
The Vice President it must be noted was brought in according to the then candidate Akuffo Addo to deal with the handling of the economy.Matters to do with the economy was left entirely in the hands of the Vice President and so since 2017,the economy of Ghana has been run with the vision of the Vice President and it is that vision that has taken us to the IMF.Ghanaians are therefore not interested in a vision that leads a country into IMF with its conditionalities which includes Domestic Debt Exchange.To further establish the point that the Vice President’s vision was what took our economy to the IMF,the IMF’s own document on Ghana’s Extended Credit Facility named the Vice President as someone who agreed to all the conditionalities as the Head of the Economic Management together with his Chief Campaign strategist,Ken Ofori Atta who is the Finance Minister.
