A member of the Communications Team of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr Sammy Ayeh, has cautioned government over the current improvement in economic conditions.
Inflation for the month of March lowered to 45 percent from 52.8 percent in February, earning the praise of the Ghana Union of Traders’ Association (GUTA).
The country is also nearing its negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for the Executive Board’s approval of the $3 billion being sought.
Speaking on TV3‘s New Day on Wednesday, April 19, Dr Ayeh said the marginal improvement in economic conditions in the country has nothing to do with any policies of the government.
There is no ingenuity on the part of the government for what is being witnessed, he insisted.
“They have no hand in it,” he added.
He said no policy by government can take Ghana out of the current economic “mess” created by the Akufo-Addo-led government.
Dr Ayeh cited how the President had been flying in luxurious jets at the expense of the tax payer while government expenditure ballooned within a short spate of time.
He expressed doubt that the current alternative proposal to roll out another debt restructuring programme will yield any positive result.
