Kojo Oppong Nkrumah Must Remain The Only Ghanaian To Maintain Faith In Akufo Addo To Revive The Economy

I used to believe that Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the minister of information, was a very knowledgeable person who is capable of altering and starting public education programs about development initiatives, to improve Ghana's reputation both inside and outside the country. Sadly, his incompetence has boosted the number of incompetent NPP ministers who have irreparably damaged the country.

Kojo Oppong Nkrumah should step down from his position as minister for information if, after more than six years in office, he still cannot see that Akufo Addo's NPP government has failed in every endeavor, including the fight to protect the public purse, which is partially to blame for the collapse of Ghana's economy and the depreciation of the local currency.

The communications minister asserts that he is confident in the government's efforts to revive the economy. Kojo Oppong Nkrumah reminds me of Hawa Koomson, who was unable to adequately describe her duties as a minister before the screening committee. The minister of information is unsure of what to do practically. This article will reveal that.

Who is Oppong Nkrumah deceiving if he thinks the president, who has less than two years left in office, would revive the economy? The president has no magic wand to restore the economy before he leaves office in less than two years because it took him six years to bring down a robust economy and make Ghana's currency worthless.

Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the minister of information, is in charge of working with other national media to ensure fair and impartial reporting of the government in public relations, and to preserve Ghana's positive reputation. In contrast, he urged the president to abuse his authority in a democratic Ghana by intimidating and arresting journalists who opposed the government's poor leadership.

Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, minister of information and former journalist, ought to have taken Ahmed Hussein Suale's murder case seriously and ensured that those responsible were brought to justice. However, because the probe involves some NPP politicians, he has abandoned the matter.

Being a minister of communication is not a job where you simply show up and make meaningless declarations of your belief in the president's ability to resuscitate the economy. Oppong Nkrumah still needs to do more to fight corruption or speak out against the widespread corruption that occurs every day in the administration he serves, but he didn't do either. He wants Ghanaians to put faith in the person who has destroyed the economy.

Mr. Oppong Nkrumah claims that the head of the International Monetary Fund also believes that the global financial crisis is to blame for Ghana's economic woes. Since its inception, Ghana's current administration has refused to acknowledge that it is either corrupt, ineffective, or incompetent. They are continuously looking for something or someone to blame. The trajectory was moved toward the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war, and once the government began with Mahama.

In actuality, the economies of the European nations, such as Spain, Germany, Holland, Italy, Belgium, the US, etc., which were severely affected by the coronavirus and had thousands of fatalities, were even stronger than Ghana's, where the effect was smaller. The troubling thing is that the inept administration never brings up the stolen COVID funds while continuing to blame COVID for failure.

Kojo Oppong Nkrumah shouldn't solely place the blame for Ghana's economic crisis on international problems since corruption is the abuse of public power for one's advantage and it hurts the lives of ordinary people. He should have the guts to mention the widespread corruption that permeates the NPP administration and the ports as one of the primary causes of Ghana's economic catastrophe.

That is what will make him a respectable and sincere person, but hiding the crimes of the NPP administration and the president's atrocities, which caused such extreme hardships, and telling Ghanaians that they should have faith in Akufo Addo to progress the country's economy, makes Kojo Oppong Nkrumah a fool. Under Akufo Addo, every minister either steals or speaks incoherently like a fool.

Speaking on behalf of the president, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah stated during the beginning of the Fourth World Teak Conference in the first week of September, "He first welcomed the participants to Accra, the city at the center of the 'F.'

When he said, "For those of you who don't know Ghana is the country that has the latitude and the longitude zero degrees intercepting," I immediately knew that he and Nana Akufo Addo, the president, shared something in common. Both like using speech to impress others, yet neither can produce a toothpick, let alone create jobs.

Kojo Oppong Nkrumah is a sluggish minister, just like president Nana Akufo Addo and his other ministers. Being a minister and unable to create jobs implies that you are a very lazy person because, in Europe and the United States, the ministers' primary responsibility is to improve the quality of life for the people they serve in a variety of ways that will shock you into appreciating their professionalism.

Ghana loses billions of Cedis every year to ineffective and incompetent ministers who are unable to better the lives of the common people or create jobs. The Minister of Information is one of these ministers. If he truly cared about Ghanaians and understands the struggles they faced, he wouldn't have come to make such a foolish statement after Akufo Addo has wrecked the strongest economy Mahama had left.

Who is Oppong Nkrumah fooling to believe that the president will resuscitate the economy when he has less than two years to serve the country? It took the president six years to collapse a strong economy and render Ghana's currency worthless; he has no magic wand to revive the economy before he leaves, more importantly, the NPP party can't revive the economy.
