The Vice President, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, has faced criticism for prioritizing the digitization sector over addressing the pressing challenges confronting the country. While digitization plays a vital role in enhancing various aspects of the economy, concerns persist about issues such as high external debt and the instability of the cedi. Many argue that the government needs to implement urgent and pragmatic policies to alleviate the high economic hardship faced by the nation.
Dr. Julius Kattah expressed these sentiments during an appearance on the Adekyee Mu Nsem morning show on Ahotor 92.3 FM in Accra. Assessing the recent State of the Nation address, he contended that despite substantial loans from international development partners, the government has failed to achieve significant economic growth. Kattah believes that the country’s economy is in poor shape and suggests the need for the former president’s leadership to guide Ghana towards recovery.
Adding to the conversation, Naakai Lamtey Addy, a former parliamentary aspirant from the Klotey Korle Constituency, reiterated the prevailing economic hardship and high cost of living. Expressing skepticism about the President’s address, she urged Ghanaians to consider voting for a change in the upcoming election, specifically advocating for the removal of the New Patriotic Party from office.
As the discourse continues, it remains clear that diverse opinions exist regarding the state of the nation and the effectiveness of current government policies. The call for change underscores the shared concern for the well-being of Ghanaians in the face of economic challenges.
