Amin Adam: NDC has lost grip on economic issues, retain NPP
The Finance Minister asserted that the NDC no longer campaigns on the economy due to its significant improvement under the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Finance Minister Dr Mohammed Amin Adam has sharply criticised the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for shifting their focus away from the economy in their campaign, claiming the opposition party has lost its grip on economic issues.
Speaking to a massive rally in the Bantama Constituency of the Ashanti Region after a health walk on Saturday (5 October) Dr Amin Adam asserted that the NDC no longer campaigns on the economy due to its significant improvement under the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
“The NDC used to say that they were going to campaign on the economy and that the economy is not doing well. Do you hear them campaign on the economy again?” he asked the crowd. “All they are talking about is galamsey. They have lost the campaign on the economy because the economy has come back stronger.”
Dr Amin Adam went on to highlight the recent strides made in Ghana’s economic recovery following the successful completion of its Eurobond debt exchange and consent solicitation process.
The initiative, which aims to restructure Ghana’s Eurobond debt, has received overwhelming support from bondholders.
“Just two days ago, this government negotiated with our creditors, those countries we owe, and they have cancelled US$5 billion of our debts. The economy of Ghana is back, and it is back stronger, and it is going to be stronger and stronger”, he stated.
Dubbed, “The Big Walk”, the event saw senior officials, MPs, parliamentary candidates of the New Patriotic Party joining thousands of supporters as campaign intensifies ahead of the 7 December elections.
