Member of Parliament for Sagnarigu in the Northern Region and minority’s spokesperson on communications, Hon. A.B.A Fuseini has described tomorrow’s address by the vice-president on the depreciation of the cedi and state of the economy a total waste of time.
The event which is scheduled to take the place at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Accra is on the theme, “Our progress, our status, our future”.
In an interview on Ahotor 92.3 FM with Citizen Kofi Owusu on “Adekyii Mu Nsem”, the honourable stated that the address would not provide any practical solution to the falling cedi as previous lectures by Dr. Bawumia in the past did not yield any positive results.
He described as shambolic, the administration of the N.P.P government. “We don’t need to listen to any lecture again. He was not able to offer any identify the problems when in opposition not to talk of offering hardnosed solution today”
Touching on the power crisis which the country has been plunged into, the MP says government Is telling “Kweku Ananse” stories concerning the issue. He further revealed that, the power problems are as a result of monetary issues within the sector and government would have to provide funding for fueling the plants as well as pay monies owed to independent power producers making it difficult to meet the requisite power supply.
According to Hon. A.B.A Fuseini, the power sector has been run-down and has not been able to make any profits compared to the days of the N.D.C. “Government should be able to eat the humble pie and stop giving us useless explanations as they are not willing to admit to “dumsor” as a result of their arrogance”.
