NPP's justification for going to IMF couldn't measure up to Mahama's - Gabby
A main individual from the overseeing New Patriotic Party, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, has supported the public authority's choice to look for help from the International Monetary Fund as it searches for a way of financial recuperation.
In a meeting on Asaase Radio on July 1, the legal counselor thought that the residency of the Akufo-Addo-drove organization has been faced with a worldwide emergency, in any case, same can't be said for the John Dramani Mahama-drove NDC organization in 2015.
He expressed that in 2015, the Mahama organization was profiting from the oil income yet the economy had disintegrated to the degree that "they [NDC] required the help of the World bank and its remainder and the IMF to carry back certainty to try and go to the sovereign security market".
"You [NDC] had new wellspring of income. On account of President Kufuor he cleared all our obligation. So you have begun the most common way of reaccumulating obligations on the grounds that at the time I accept obligation to GDP proportion was 40-half so that was what was happening.
"No pandemic, no inventory network gives that is influencing each country, resident of the world. We didn't have that. It was all local. What's more, it was an administration that didn't have holds on the economy that it had command over or probably was to have command over.
"So the circumstance for me isn't something very similar. You can't contrast what constrained Ghana with go on an IMF program after Kufuor in 2015 to what's going on now," he said.
The Founder of Danquah Institute proceeded with that "it will be hard for me for the NDC to say we went to the IMF in 2015, you have done likewise in 2022; so you are pretty much as terrible as us. I have to strongly disagree.
"Assuming that you question you can see global remarks. Today after the choice, from the market we are hearing that the certainty is returning a result of the IMF declaration".
President Akufo-Addo on July 1 arranged Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta to start formal commitment with the IMF.
In a proclamation endorsed by Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the commitment will be to welcome the Fund to help a financial program set up by government.

In addition to other things, the public authority says the IMF backing will give "equilibrium of installment support as a feature of a more extensive work to stimulate Ghana's work back despite difficulties prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and as of late, the Russia-Ukraine emergency."
