Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the NDC’s MP for the North Tongu Constituency, has emphasized that it is dishonorable for President Nana Akufo-Addo to avoid taking responsibility for the nation’s current economic problems in his address to the nation.
The outspoken politician claimed that the President’s economic speech was “wasteful” since he failed to fire some inept administrators from his administration in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show “Ghana Montie”.
He said to host Akwesi Aboagye, “Prior to the speech, the President should have removed his Finance Minister.”
The North Tongu member added that a lean government is now more important than ever given Ghana’s chaotic economy.
“I am disappointed President Akufo-Addo didn’t take responsibility and apologised to the people for taking them through excruciating pain.
“Countries with good leadership and sound policies are having a resilient economy in these times.
“We need a lean government in these times. 40% of appointees in this government can go,” Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa added.
