Ato Forson tells Akufo-Addo that the nation is in a self-induced crisis

Minority Leader strongly disagrees with government’s assertion that current economic crisis is not government’s fault.

The State of the Nation Address delivered on Wednesday by President Akufo-Addo puzzled Cassiel Ato Forson.

Among other things, the President praised the NPP administration’s prudent borrowing and spending.

Akufo-Addo rejected allegations of profligate spending. The debt we are servicing was not just contracted during this administration, he said

In response to the President’s address, MP Ajumako-Enyan-Esiam seconded the motion to adjourn the House. He outlined issues that he claims reflect the actual state of the country but were not included in the day’s address.

The economy is in the worst shape in decades. In reality, Ghana’s economy is bankrupt. At the moment, we can’t repay our debt. Ghana has been defaulting on payments since January 2022. Despite this, your government is failing to reduce government spending and the size of government.

He accused the President of overseeing Ghanaians’ hardship and inefficiency.

Your government imposed the problems upon us and failed to address them. We are in tatters because it is self-inflicted.

The scorecard shows our nation’s real state, he said.
