The Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) accused President Akufo-Addo of misleading Ghanaians to obtain votes in the 2016 elections.
Sammy Gyamfi at a press conference on Monday said that the New Patriotic Party (PNP) at the time promised to manage the country’s economy better than the Mahama government, yet upon taking office, it has opposed its promise.
According to him, the current administration in three and a half years has borrowed an amount of ¢ 138 billion. This, he said, “is a monumental betrayal of the confidence of the Ghanaians, for which he must be removed from office.”
“Despite the promise of reducing government indebtedness, President Akufo-Addo has borrowed more than any government in Ghana’s history, with very little to show. Today, our current debt situation is unsustainable and the worst in our fourth Republican history, “he said.
The Communications Officer emphasized that the failure of the Akufo-Addo administration to deliver on its campaign promises to reduce government borrowing is just one of many promises it made and has yet to deliver.
Gyamfi then pointed out that, with the government’s indiscriminate borrowing, the Akufo-Addo administration has little to show for it.
It alleged that the funds obtained from the loans are mismanaged and misused.
