I can say in all good conscience that I've not betrayed the people of Ghana; the evidence is there — Akufo-Addo

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has declared he is clear in his conscience to have served the Ghanaian people well.

According to him, he is proud of his achievements over the last seven years as President.

In his address at a gathering of the Diplomatic Corps in Peduase, Akufo-Addo mentioned his government’s achievements across various sectors.

He said, “Whether it is in the management of the national economy, in education, healthcare, roads development, railways development, digitalisation, infrastructural development in general, agricultural and industrial transformation, the fight against corruption, the battle against environmental degradation, the response of the Convid-19 pandemic, the record is there for all to see.

“I can say in all good conscience that I have not betrayed the mandate that the good people of Ghana conferred on me.”

Meanwhile, the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, reacting to the 2024 National Budget presented in Parliament earlier this year complained about the economic challenges faced by Ghanaians.

He said, “From all indications and deducing from the uninspiring 2024 Budget statement and economic policy prepared by Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and Ken Ofori Atta, we are convinced 2024 will be a difficult year filled with economic hardships.

“This is because the NPP government has once again and in their final year piled more taxes on businesses and Ghanaians.

“...Unfortunately, there is no joy because Ghanaians are suffering…the economy is bankrupt.

“...Again, 2024 brings hope because on December 07 you will have the singular opportunity to vote for the experienced and visionary flag bearer of the NDC, John Dramani Mahama as the next president of Ghana. He is the man who handed over to this government.”
