The Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has likened the comparisons between the economy under former President Mahama and the current economy under President Akufo-Addo to day and night.
According to the Vice President, it is unfair to compare the performance of the economy under the current dispensation to the erstwhile John Dramani Mahama administration.
“The economy is superior now that what we inherited. Fiscal deficits have reduced, sovereign credit ratings have improved and we cleared the financial mess left by the Mahama administration…so comparing the economy under the previous administration and now is like ‘day and night’ ”, he revealed in an interview with veteran broadcaster, Kwame Sefa Kayi on Peace FM.
The Vice President indicated that though the current administration has not been able to completely eliminate the sufferings of Ghanaians, he is optimistic that it has lessened their suffering with the introduction of pro-poor policies that inures to the benefit of the citizenry
Dr Bawumia also admitted that the coronavirus pandemic has had effect on Ghana’s economy but hinted that there is a lot going on behind the scenes to ensure a turnaround for Ghana’s economy.
