Former President John Mahama has wondered why the Akufo-Addo government believes the Free SHS policy is the antidote to all problems in the country.

According to Mr. Mahama, the NPP government has abandoned all development projects that were started under his administration.

“It is a pity because everything that we started has come to a standstill. I go round the country and most of the roads, where we left them on 7th January 2017, that is where the roads have ended. All the community based Secondary Schools, where we left them on 7th January 2017, that is where they have ended.”

“And the tragedy is, if you ask the New Patriotic Party (NPP) what are they doing about the road they will say free SHS. If you ask about the CHPS compound, they will say we have given you free SHS, when you ask about jobs, they will say we have given you free SHS,” mahama noted in address with market women at Sogakope.

He stressed: “All the projects have come to a standstill because the NDC left office. The Community secondary school has come to a standstill. All the road projects have come to a standstill. All the road projects have come to a standstill. All the road projects have come to a standstill.”

He said traders and other business people are aware that they make less money now than they used to do under him as President.

“You are selling oysters, shrimps and so many other things. Nobody needs to come and tell you that the economy is not doing well. Everybody selling something today can see that they making less sales than they used to do in the past and that is because times are hard. People came and told us that the money is there, that we were sitting on money but yet hungry.

“Today the Finance Minister tells us that everyone knows that Ghana is broke. The NPP president in 2016 told us we are sitting on money but still hungry, so why is the Finance Minister saying Ghana is broke?” he wondered.

Former President, John Dramani Mahama says the economic hardship in Ghana has become unbearable although President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and had prior to the 2016 general elections told Ghanaians that there was enough money in the country to improve the economy.

Mr. Mahama argued that President Nana Akufo-Addo is yet to fulfil his promise of making life better for Ghanaians.

Speaking to market women in Sogokope in the Volta Region, John Mahama said life has become unbearable for the ordinary Ghanaian.

“You are selling oysters, shrimps and so many other things. Nobody needs to come and tell you that the economy is not doing well. Everybody selling something today can see that they making less sales than they used to do in the past and that is because times are hard. People came and told us that the money is there, that we were sitting on money but yet hungry. Today the Finance Minister tells us that everyone knows that Ghana is broke. The NPP president in 2016 told us we are sitting on money but still hungry, so why is the Finance Minister saying Ghana is broke?”

This comes days after President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, described the presidential candidate and former President, John Dramani Mahama, as one with no record to defend, and one who has no prescriptions for the future of Ghana.

Nana Akufo-Addo who was also responding to a comment the former President said on Sunday, 3rd November 2019, that “God brought NPP so Ghanaians can appreciate NDC”, stated that “negativity, negativity, negativity” is all Ghanaians continue to hear from the NDC leader.

The two have been trading words for the past one month, with each comment targeted at winning more political points and overpowering the opponent.

“We are all experiencing our various hardships…and preparing our thumbs so that we change the change,” Mr Mahama is reported by the GNA as saying.

The flagbearer of the NDC was speaking at the centenary celebration of Dabala branch of the Evangelical Presbyterian (EP) Church, Ghana in the South Tongu District of the Volta Region.

Mr Mahama said it was good and in God’s will that the NDC lost the 2016 general elections for peace to prevail in the country and also for the citizenry to appreciate the works of the NDC and asked that the Party be voted back to power next year.

He said his government would complete and operationalise stalled projects on water, education, health and roads among others.

Former President John Mahama in 2016 openly admitted that the banking sector under his watch was crumbling due to poor supervision from the Bank of Ghana.

In his State of the Nation Address (SONA) in 2016, he told Members of Parliament (MPs) bluntly about how poor supervision was adversely affecting the survival of some microfinance companies.

An excerpt from his address reads “Mr Speaker, over the past five years, there has been a proliferation of microfinance companies. These companies come under the direct supervision of the Bank of Ghana.

“Unfortunately, lack of effective supervision has resulted in many cases in which microfinance companies licensed by Bank of Ghana have breached the rules and created supposed pyramid schemes that have eventually come crashing down.”

Dr Abdul-Nashiru Issahaku was the Governor of the Bank of Ghana in 2016.

He was appointed to serve in that capacity in 2016 by former President Mahama, replacing then Governor, Dr Henry Kofi Wampah who went on retirement unceremoniously.

Dr Issahaku prior to his appointment was the second deputy governor of the central bank from July 2013.

Interestingly, Mr. Mahama has condemned the President Akufo-Addo government for “supervising” the collapse of Ghanaian-owned financial institutions in the name of clean up.

According to him, the current government had much better options available than to collapse more than 400 financial institutions since the Akufo-Addo government took over in January 2017.

“There is a lot the government could have done,” he said.

But Government insists those institutions were already in their comatose state when it took over in 2016 due to the poor supervision from the Dr Abdul-Nashiru Issahaku-led Bank of Ghana.

Most of the financial institutions could not honour their obligations to their clients, creating panic withdrawals.
