The General Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Justin Frimpong Koduah, has stated that the economic situation the country is faced with would have been worsen under a National Democratic Congress (NDC) government.
The country has seen a downturn since 2022 with the government embarking on a debt restructuring exercise, and it’s also seeking a US$3 billion bailout from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Speaking on on Citi TV , Mr. Koduah stated that Ghanaians still have confidence in the government despite the economic challenges expressing hope that they will break the eight in the 2024 polls.
The NPP’s chief scribe indicated that even without the impact of COVID-19 coupled with the Russian-Ukraine war, the NDC wouldn’t have been able to manage the economy.
“Ghanaians still have confidence in this government despite the economic challenges, because they know that between the NDC and the NPP, NPP is a better manager of the economy than the NDC. Ghanaians also appreciate the fact that had it not been NPP in power, and if it were the NDC, the situation would have been worse off than what we are experiencing now. I’m telling you if NDC were in government, the situation would have been worse off”.
He added, “Even without any COVID-19 or Russian-Ukraine war, they [NDC] wouldn’t have been able to manage the economy well. We saw what happened under H. E. President John Mahama’s tenure– four years of ‘Dumsor, the scrapping of the teacher/nursing trainee allowances, among others”.
Mr. Koduah called on Ghanaians to exercise restraint assuring that the country will come out of the challenges soon.
On the issue of corruption and corrupt-related activities tagged against the NPP during the NDC's "True State of The Nation" address delivered by Mr. Johnson Asiedu Nketia, Lawyer Justin Frimpong Kodua indicated that he is surprised the NDC had the moral right to talk about corruption and level corruption issues against the NPP indicating the major issue in Ghana has been the consistent perception of corruption and corrupt related issues against only politicians leaving other sectors of work.
He reiterated that if NDC came in good faith with their "True State Of The Nation", the presentation should have been about how the nation can address issues of corruption than the level it against one political party painting themselves as saints.
He concluded by giving instances where the NPP has taken steps to ensure corruption cases are tracked to minimize the canker with former president Kuffour inducing the Public Procurement Act and the Whistleblowers Act while President Akufo Addo instated the office of the special prosecutor who despite its minor challenges can ensure corruption cases are dealt with.
