Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, says it is not factual that the current economic crisis the country finds itself in, is due to mismanagement on the part of government. <\/b><\/p>\n

For him, the conversations on the crisis should move from finger-pointing to proffering alternative solutions and being optimistic about measures taken by government to get the country out of the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe point is that we are stuck in a conversation that is going nowhere,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople denying vehemently and the media ceding to that position to say that we got here by somebody\u2019s mismanagement, which is not factual.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe position is, going forward, we need to talk and interrogate the solutions, how we get out of the situation and that\u2019s where you would want the NDC come to the table with their alternative offering and we show you what we have got, which is the post-Covid recovery programme that we are putting forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat should be the content of the conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Ahiagbah made these strong arguments while speaking on The Keypoints on TV3 <\/b>on Saturday, October 7, 2023.<\/p>\n

His submission was situated in the recent accusations by the Minority in Parliament against the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Ernest Yedu Addison, about the current economic crisis.<\/p>\n

The caucus staged a demonstration on Tuesday, October 3 to demand the resignation of Dr Addison and his two deputies.<\/p>\n

The organisers of the demonstration, dubbed #OccupyBoGProtest, blamed the directors of Ghana\u2019s central bank for the economic challenges.<\/p>\n

But the leadership of the protest stopped short of presenting its petition to the Bank officials delegated to meet them after getting to know the leader of the delegation was the Director of Security.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst, let me say that I feel very disrespected as the leader of the opposition in Parliament for a simple reason that we demanded to present a petition to the Governor of the central bank of the Republic of Ghana otherwise known as the Bank of Ghana,\u201d said Minority Leader Dr Cassiel Ato Baah Forson.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Governor has two deputies namely; Deputy 1 and Deputy 2. Unfortunately, he has decided to disrespect us and the two deputies have also decided to disrespect us.\u201d<\/p>\n

He later served notice: \u201cWe will come back again. Until we see him, we are not stopping. This is just the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Ahiagbah described as \u201cbackward\u201d the current conversations about the crisis, alluding to an International Monetary Fund (IMF) report in April 2022 that the Ukraine-Russia crisis could have global economic consequences.<\/p>\n
