Government Right to Appeal Moody’s Rating – Terkper
Seth Terkper, a former Finance Minister under the erstwhile National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration has described government’s decision to appeal the recent Moody’s credit rating on Ghana as a step in the right direction.
Speaking to Kwaku Nhyira-Addo on The Asaase Breakfast Show on Thursday (10 February), Terkper said the West have always had myopic way of looking at Africa in many aspects.
“I am not here to say that government should not defend itself, no, because I did. Ministers before me did it, so why not. If the current minister thinks it has not reflected, and it happens and it always happens.
“Are they fair? We are Africans, we are Africans, it is not only financial situation that we think that the world see us unfairly, there are other contest, the job situation, right and in that contest we can talk about blacks over all,” Terkper said.
