President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said he takes full responsibility for the current economic difficulty but stated one cannot gloss over the external factors.
This is the first time the president has publicly owned up, as the country’s micro-economy continues to be challenged.
“I am the leader and I take responsibility,” Mr Akufo-Addo told the host of Otec FM morning show in an interview on Monday, October 17 as part of his tour of the Ashanti Region.
The president was, however, optimistic, the economy will recover before he finishes his term “I hope the IMF support is concluded in the middle of November so we can feed it into our budget” he said.
He stressed, “my hope is to take Ghana out of IMF bemire when I finish my term.”
