Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has insisted that the country’s economy was not in tatters after late Prof Evans Atta Mills demise, however, John Mahama destroyed everything after being sworn President.
Speaking on Ghana Kasa on Agoo TV he said, “the economy was not in tatters when his Boss, JEA Mills handed it to him but through his incompetence, he sent the country to IMF with its attendant harsh conditionalities. The resulting economic crisis was overwhelming.”
He added, “Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo did not create any crisis but he rather managed to liberate Ghanaians from the crisis that the Mahama administration landed us into. IMF, Dumsor, NHIS mountain of debts, Teachers/Nursing allowances have all been resolved now.”
According to Oppong Nkrumah, “the decision by the current government to divorce the IMF was a watershed in the history of the country’s economic development.”
He further stressed that the Akufo Addo led government handling of the Covid-19 pandemic have given Ghanaians a renewed sense of confidence in his administration.
“Ghanaians will judge which of these two gentlemen can handle crisis better in December,07 polls,” he stated.
