According to Justin Kodua Frimpong, General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), the NPP’s record of revitalizing and enhancing Ghana’s economy is unparalleled.
During a news conference on Thursday to discuss the procedures of the NPP’s presidential elections on November 4, Kodua stated that his party, as opposed to the National Democratic Congress, stands out in terms of boosting the economy.
“When it comes to managing Ghana’s economy, our opponents do not have a comparable record. It is the case that today, the NDC feels emboldened because COVID-19 and Russia-Ukraine War have vanquished the gains we made immediately upon taking over on 7th January 2017.”
Kodua also lauded previous President Kufuor and current President Akufo-Addo’s economic and management abilities.
“Under President John Agyekum Kufuor, from 7th January 2001 to 7th January 2009, the NPP pulled Ghana’s economy out of the stagnation the NDC left. Again, under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, we grew the economy on average 7 percent from another NDC stagnation for three consecutive years before the disruptions of the Covid-19 pandemic and Russia’s War in Ukraine. The truth is that we are fixing the economy, and soon, the hardships of today will be history. The assurance to Ghanaians that we will regenerate the economy is manifest in our record.”
