Ranking Member on Parliament’s Finance Committee, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, says the mismanagement of the economy by President Akufo-Addo has compelled him to write a book titled “How not to run an economy.”
According to him, President Akufo-Addo has set all negative records in managing the economy since the country attained independence.
The Ajumako-Enyan-Essiam MP cited reckless spending and borrowing to back his claims of mismanagement by the current government, arguing that if the country had heeded his earlier call to seek IMF support, the nation wouldn’t have been in such a mess.
“The kind of mismanagement faced by the Ghanaian today is unprecedented. What we are seeing from Nana Addo since he became President, I have to write a book on him ‘how not to run an economy’ because the mismanagement has been legendary, and he has set all the negative records in managing an economy,” he told Kwesi Parker-Wilson, host of Oyerepa FM’s Ghana Te Sen.
The former Deputy Finance Minister charged Ghanaians to rise up and speak against the bad policy choices of the NPP administration, which he described as scary and insisted that it will take the country about 20 years to recover from the economic mess.
“The way Akufo-Addo is managing the economy, it will take us 20 years to repair it. We must all rise and speak up against the mismanagement. The government must admit that they will crash the country so they must live above the politics and ask for help to solve the economic problems. NPP has shown clearly that they can’t solve the problem but rather have aggravated the problem,” he added.
