A former deputy finance minister and a ranking member on the finance committee in Parliament, Dr. Ato Forson has finally sent another strong message to Ghanaians After the Akufo-Addo government decided to go to the International Monetary Fund for an economic bailout. He revealed that the Akufo-Addo government needs to take all the blame for bringing us this far and stop blaming the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
While speaking to the media today, July 6, 2022, Ato Forson boldly told Ghanaians to embrace themselves for hardships because this IMF program will be different from any of the programs we’ve had in the past. He also told the Akufo-Addo government to stop blaming the Russia-Ukraine war for how far the country has come because the war has done nothing.
“This IMF programme will differ from all IMF programmes we have seen in the past. In fact, this would be the first time that we will do an IMF programme with debt restructuring. That means a lot. That will mean that Ghana is going to go through another phase of HIPC to the extent that we are going to look at our debt and restructure it. The government must come clean and tell us what the people of Ghana should expect instead of blaming Ukraine and Russia.” Ato Forson told the media today.
