The communications director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has called on the media to hold the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to hard facts on the current state of the economy and the government’s decision to seek support from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Reacting in a Facebook post to a recent statement made by the IMF managing director, Kristalina Georgieva, on the sidelines of the Africa Adaptation Summit in Rotterdam, Netherlands, to the effect that Ghana’s current economic challenges stem not from local decision-making but external or exogenous shocks, Ahiagbah argued that it is time to hold the NDC to the real, hard facts about the Ghanaian economy.
“The inability of the NDC to communicate the causes of the economic challenges facing Ghana is evidence that Ghana would have been worse off if they were in charge of the economy because they would have misdiagnosed the problem. The IMF has spoken now NDC must speak to the facts,” Ahiagbah wrote on his Facebook wall.
