National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has lambasted the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia-led administration for the current economic challenges facing the country.
Gyamfi argued that the policies implemented by the current government have caused significant harm to Ghana’s economy, to the extent that remedying the situation would demand an extraordinary effort.
“The state at which President Akufo-Addo and Bawumia destroyed our economy, if we are working an 8-hour shift, it will take 50 years to restore the economy back,” he said on Accra-based UTV on May 3, 2024.
He highlighted that the nation’s debt burden has surged to unprecedented levels during President Akufo-Addo’s tenure.
He voiced serious apprehensions about Ghana’s capacity to obtain additional loans given its precarious financial state.
“Now, because of our debt, places that all countries borrow from have been told that we can’t get loans anymore because we cannot pay our debt,” he added.
