The National Communication Officer of the National Democratic Congress has slammed the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) for collapsing banks and making people lose jobs.
He challenged the NPP to appear clean before Ghanaians and be truthful.
You came to kill, steal and destroy and the destruction of these businesses over 500 of them has led to thousands of jobs losses and hardship on Ghanaians. The least you can do is to show sympathy and be truthful and to deceive and blame people in the choices you made in collapsing businesses,” he said on TV3’s Morning show.
According to him, the Mahama administration cannot be blamed for the banking sector crisis since those collapsed banks had their license under the NPP.
“In 2017, when this government decided to reform the financial sector of this country, they had options available to them. They had an option to save the challenged financial institutions with just about 7 billion cedis and yet they chose another options which was to kill these institutions with over 20 billion Ghana cedis. These were deliberate choices they made. They must live with the ramifications of it and not seek to shift the blame or responsibility unfairly on the Mahama or the NDC.
“These banks had their perpetual license from the Akufo-Addo government in 2017, specifically given to them by Dr Addison and so you cannot blame that on president Mahama. Heritage Bank was a solvent bank at the time its license was revoked so you cannot blame president Mahama for having supervised the collapse of financial institutions,” he stressed.
