The Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has stated that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) lacks alternative strategies to counter the government's economic revitalization policies.

He noted that NDC members have been disparaging the economy and negating its progress.

Ahiagbah added, "the NDC's criticism of the economy arises from their inability to provide viable alternatives to challenge the government's policy initiatives aimed at rejuvenating our economy. The economy has taken a positive turn, and it is imperative for Ghanaians to support the government in stabilizing it."

It's noteworthy that the Minority Leader, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, challenged Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta's claim that the economy had turned a corner.

Dr. Forson argued that the Finance Minister's policies exacerbated Ghana's economic difficulties.

Ofori-Atta, during the mid-year budget review presentation, shared that the government had successfully averted dire situations, such as shortages of essential items and fuel queues. He acknowledged the collective efforts and investments made since March 2020 to navigate challenges.

Responding to Dr. Forson's statements, Ahiagbah criticized the NDC for intentionally deceiving the public and attempting to undermine the government's popularity. He denounced their partisan approach and highlighted their lack of substantive ideas to address the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine War.

Ahiagbah stated, "The NDC's assertion that the mid-year fiscal revisions invalidate the notion of turning a corner is unfounded and should not be taken seriously. Their absence of constructive ideas is evident, and their strategy seems to be discrediting the government's genuine efforts to mitigate pandemic and war-related economic impacts."

He urged Ghanaians to recognize that if the NDC were in power, the country's situation might have worsened due to their apparent dearth of innovative proposals.

He emphasized the need to assess the NDC's contributions since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine War, highlighting their lack of original ideas to support economic recovery.
