Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, Sam Nartey George has acknowledged that borrowing as a government is not a crime.
Speaking in an interview on Onua FM, Mr George noted that it is okay for governments to borrow to fund projects during their tenure.
What he said was the problem was the fact that some governments borrow and misuse the borrowed fund.
“As someone who has served as a government official, I will never sit anywhere and say that borrowing is not good. But you would have to apply some sense in doing that,” he said.
During the interview, he criticised what he described as an extravagant lifestyle being led by President Akufo-Addo despite the country’s economic hardships.
Registering his displeasure, he expressed concern over the President’s use of luxurious flights when there are moderate options.
