Deputy National Communications Officer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kweku Boahen has blamed the Akufo Addo led New Patriotic Party (NPP) government for the high job losses in the banking sector.
According to him, the government’s high handedness in cleaning the banking sector and fictitious job creation is to account for the high unemployment rate in the country.
Speaking on Kingdom FM he said, “job losses from the banking sector clean-up exercise which has led to the collapse of nine indigenous banks and hundreds of microfinance companies, as well as the mining sector job losses and even the media sector, is over one million which have affected over three million direct dependents.”
He stressed that all the hardships people are going through is due to the fictitious job creations the government claim to have created.
“So even on the face of this fictitious figure of jobs created by the government it is clear that many people have lost their jobs under this government hence the excruciating hardship everywhere,” he said.
