Persistently deciding on a bailout from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) doesn't check out, the Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide paper, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako, has said.
Likewise, he said it doesn't make one a glad Ghanaian.
Early this year, Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta said Ghana was a "glad" country of "solid" individuals with the capacity to track down her own answers for issues and, hence, wouldn't rush to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for help.
Talking at the third in a progression of municipal events in the Northern territorial capital of Tamale in February, Mr Ofori-Atta said: "… I can tell you, as my partner Deputy Minister said, we won't the IMF; anything that we do, we are not; the outcomes are critical, we are a pleased country, we have the assets, we have the limit".
"Try not to allow anyone to tell you - like when Joshua, Caleb and the 10 others went to keep an eye on the Promised Land and simply two of them came to say that, 'We can make it happen', and the 10 circumvented the local area mumbling, 'You can't; da da da'; we are not individuals of diminutive sight and we needed to continue on, thus, we should consider us what our identity is: a pleased, resilient individuals, the sparkling star of Africa and we have the ability to would what we like to do if by some stroke of good luck we can communicate in by one language and guarantee that we trouble share in the issues ahead".
Nonetheless, upon the sets of President Akufo-Addo, Mr Ofori-Atta as of late opened conversations with the IMF for a bailout.
The IMF group began conversations about a program for Ghana two or three days prior.
Remarking on the new development on Thursday, 7 July 2022, Kweku Baako said: "I've generally experienced issues with the IMF and let me the legit with you: while it is the right of the public authority to pick that, I felt disheartened".
"I recollect in 2015, I felt the same way despite the fact that I openly said it was the right of the public authority to pull out all the stops yet lamentable same with 2009", Mr Baako reviewed.
"In this way, it isn't sufficient and we can't keep going around and around and each time we take a program, we seem to have prevailed with regards to carrying out the program and inside three to four years, we are starting over; it doesn't check out. It doesn't make you a pleased Ghanaian," Kweku Baako told Accra-based Metro TV.
