An Economist at the University of Ghana Business School has charged the president to show he has what is takes to salvage the country from difficulties.
Dr Badu Sakordie has asked President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to show leadership in dealing with the current economic challenges.
According to the economist, the President has the ability to do that because he demonstrated the same zeal when Covid was confirmed in Ghana.
Speaking on the New Day show on TV3 Wednesday October 12, Dr Adu Sarkodie said “Now is the time that they should show leadership, they showed it during covid time and we appreciated. They should engage stakeholders, GUTA and others, sit with them.”
He added “We must have a plan and execute the plan. We need the selfless leader to do that and I believe President Akufo-Addo can do that.
“He can do it, this is the time to do it, this is the time to take some of the bold decisions because he has nothing to lose.”
Regarding the ongoing engagement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), he said Ghana needs the support from the Fund but beyond that, the country needs to undertake reforms.
“We need the IMF programme. Beyond that we must be serious as a country, reform our policies,” he said.
