Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, a suspended elder of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), has stated that the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo he has known over the years will not continue to mismanage Ghana as he is now doing.

The government received a score of two out of ten from the retired military veteran and ambassador, suggesting that it is not operating under the direction of his friend.

In an interview with Joy News, he claimed that although the nation's economy has deteriorated, the government has been unable to cope.

Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe responded, "I will rate them two out of 10," when asked to rate the performance of the current administration.

“We have retrogressed...when I say we are a failed state, I know what I am talking about. This government is not functioning...That surprises me because I know Nana Addo was not like that.

“What has happened? I am surprised. The Nana Akufo-Addo that I know is not the one ruling Ghana now,” he explained.

Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe noted that Ken Ofori-Atta, the embattled Minister of Finance should have resigned immediately the country decided to seek a bailout from the IMF.

He stressed that if things were going well, the Minister of Agric, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, “who is a doctor of agriculture will not be engaging in cheap publicity”.

There has been an increase in the prices of goods and services recently whiles transportation fares have also increased more than four times due to the increase in fuel prices.

Ghana's current inflation rate stands at an unprecedented 40.4%.
