A leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Gabby Otchere-Darko has cautioned the governing party against playing the politics of equalization with the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) on inflation, interest rates and Cedi depreciation.
He stated that the world is facing an economic crisis like never before in peace time.
In a tweet, Mr Otchere-Darko explained that this is not election year, so Ghanaians shouldn’t be treated like voters but citizens.
Politics of comparisons, he explained works when elections are before the people.
Right now people just care about how to make ends meet. Use your energy in showing what is being done to bring relief, he said.
