Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, a former Deputy Finance Minister under the erstwhile J.E.A Mills administration, has said that the governing New Patriotic Party lied their way into power and now the poor state of the economy has exposed them.
According to him, the Akufo-Addo led administration has failed to make the economy smile at Ghanaians and for that matter, the citizenry is really suffering.
In an interview with an Accra-based radio station, Mr Kwetey added that fuel prices have skyrocketed within the last few weeks due to global factors and the depreciation of the Ghanaian cedi against other major trading currencies.
“I think right from the onset, the foundations were established on deception. And when you build something on deception, within a matter of time, it is going to collapse. So basically, they came into office riding on lies. They came into office pretending that somehow they were going to reduce taxation and at the same time increase expenditure. So right from the word go, they were deceiving the people.”
“Right from the beginning, they absolutely lied to the country, especially when they made it look as if the whole of the problem was simply about the question of mismanagement when they knew it was not,” he stated.
