Felix Kwakye Ofosu, a former deputy minister for information, said he is concerned about the vice president's health in light of the president's order for the finance minister to contact the IMF (IMF).
The former government official stated in a tweet on Friday, "I can only picture the terror that has overtaken Bawumia following the announcement of an IMF programme by his bungling government.
In a previous appearance on Friday's AM Show with Benjamin Akakpo, Mr. Kwakye Ofosu accused the administration of egregiously mismanaging the economy and resulting in a difficult budgetary scenario for the nation. In his presentations, he lamented the rising levels of corruption and the government's incapacity to rein in appointees who misappropriate public monies.
In addition to discussing the contentious National Cathedral issue, he also aired his opinions on the project's lack of openness.
Therefore, Mr. Kwakye Ofosu joined his voice to prior requests for the government to halt the project made by other prominent NDC members.
Manasseh Azure Awuni, a distinguished investigative journalist, has also commented on President Akufo-order Addo's to the Finance Minister to seek assistance from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The renowned journalist stated on Friday that the IMF would expose you if the economy's fundamentals were poor. You may spread all the misinformation you want.
Following the announcement of the government's decision, hundreds of social media remarks have been added by Felix Kwakye Ofosu and Manasseh Azure.
Numerous Ghanaians have voiced their concerns over the government's plan to ask for help from the Fund in a sequence of tweets and postings tracked by Myjoyonline.com.
Some of them believe that the action may not bode well for Ghana's economy.
Following the decision, some social media users have also criticised President Akufo-Addo and the NPP government of having "double standards."
In expressing their surprise, they said that they had not anticipated the government to use the Fund since the Finance Minister had earlier promised to use "home-grown" measures to turn around the faltering economy.
The President has instructed the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, in contrast to this guarantee, according to a statement released on Friday, July 1 and signed by the Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah.
