Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Chairman Freddie Wosemawu Blay has lauded the government’s management of the economy.
He stated that the economy is in a better situation than it was when the National Democratic Congress (NDC) was in power.
Despite the global economic downturn, he told Citi News’ Hanson Agyemang, the NPP has been able to continue with its social intervention activities.
Mr. Blay expressed confidence that Ghana’s economy will recover significantly by 2024.
“The economy, in the hands of the NPP has been far better, irrespective of the challenges that we have faced. In terms of numbers and figures, and so forth, we have not slowed down in our social interventions.”
“The decisions regarding NHIS, Free SHS, road construction, and all other initiatives we embarked on have not been stalled despite the events in Ukraine. We are adapting to the situation, and things are improving. Therefore, by 2024, the economy will show signs of improvement.”
“Just as Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia admitted, we have faced difficulties and are still facing them. However, regardless of these challenges, we are performing better and displaying resilience. People should remain hopeful. We acknowledge that times are tough, but we have not mismanaged or displayed incompetence like the NDC,” Mr. Blay added.
