Mahama left strong economy for NPP, so they recruited 125 ministers and now they're struggling — Navrongo Central MP

The NDC Member of Parliament for Navrongo Central Mr. Sampson Tangombu Chiragia has said former President Dramani Mahama left a strong economy to NPP before leaving office because evidence shows, they were able to recruit 125 Ministers immediately they took over from John Mahama.

According to the Navrongo legislator, “Today, the NPP and Bawumia are claiming the economy is recovering and they cannot even recruit Deputy Regional Minister which was the case in their first administration immediately John Mahama left office."

For this reason, Mr. Sampson Tangombu has called on the Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to render an apology to Ghanaians for failed promises and also tagging John Dramani Mahama as incompetent.

“I will sincerely ask Dr. Bawumia to come and apologize to Ghanaians and let them understand that he got it wrong. Because today, he agrees that our economy is driven by external forces forgetting that we don’t sell dollars or print dollars in Ghana. But he used the dollar as the benchmark against John Mahama by way of calling Mahama incompetent,” he stated.

Commenting on the covid-19 and Ukraine-Russia war captured in Bawumia’s lecture as the cause of Ghana's economic woes, the MP said: “Ukraine-Russian is barely 2months and you are using to build as your non-performance of the economy, forgetting that if the price of crude oil goes up, you are also benefiting”.

He stressed that "The problem in Ghana today, is the exchange rate which we cannot control and the loan they are paying over 50 billion a year."
