The Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central, says the Akufo-Addo administration’s economic performance had been abysmal.
Mr. Isaac Adongo said this during a lecture at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA).
The lecture, was under the theme “Ghana’s economic mess; Victim of poor economic governance?”
He averred that the government has not been effective in addressing the nation’s economic crisis.
He highlighted the rising national debt, uncontrolled inflation, and a perceived lack of transparency in economic management.
He criticized Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for blaming external factors like the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war for the issues.
He said that these challenges were exacerbated by pre-existing weaknesses in fiscal management and high debt levels, citing findings from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
He accused Dr. Bawumia of avoiding accountability for his economic team’s decisions, potentially causing budget credibility and transparency concerns.
He said there are several unfulfilled promises made by the NPP, including the implementation of “One Village One Dam,” “One Million per Constituency,” and the “Zongo Development Fund.”
These policies he added have been ineffective.
The MP has requested the Vice President to acknowledge the impact of policy decisions on the current economic situation and actively seek solutions to alleviate the burden on the Ghanaian people.
