Ashanti Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, also known as 'Chairman Wontumi,' has addressed allegations made by Samuel Yaw Adusei, the former Deputy Minister of Works and Housing, about the state of the Ghanaian economy.

Adusei, during his media engagements in the Ashanti Region, criticized the NPP government's economic management, pointing out a debt-to-GDP ratio of 92% and an inflation rate of 54%.

He also emphasized the achievements of former President John Mahama in the region.

In response, Wontumi has taken to various media platforms to refute Adusei’s claims, defending the NPP's economic performance and questioning Adusei's credibility.

Wontumi accused Adusei of dishonesty and attempting to mislead Ghanaians to garner sympathy for the NDC’s flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, and win favor with voters in the region.

This exchange has ignited a heated debate about Ghana’s economic situation and the NPP government's performance.

With the 2024 elections approaching, this discussion is expected to become even more intense as both parties strive to present their arguments to the electorate.
