The National Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Stephen Ntim, has praised his party for managing Ghana’s economy well.
Speaking at the NPP’s news conference at the Alisa Hotel in Accra on Tuesday, April 4, 2023, he said his party has successfully run Ghana’s economy, adding that the New Democratic Congress (NDC) has failed to acknowledge the effects of COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war on the economy and hence misinformed Ghanaians that the NPP has mismanaged the economy.
“The ravaging impact of Covid-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war on the global economy, are visible all around us, which the NDC has refused to acknowledge nor admit this fact to continue misinforming Ghanaians that this government has mismanaged our economy.
“The plain truth is that this government has managed the economy diligently and well,” he said.
He indicated that “the hardships we are experiencing in Ghana, are being experienced everywhere because of the Covid-19 pandemic and the Russian-Ukraine war.
“Workers in some of the world’s biggest economies are demanding increases in salaries, due to historic global inflation. It is happening in the United Kingdom, France and Germany,” he added.
