Drop ex-gratia and leave Free SHS - What some Ghanaians have said about IMF bailout
In a quick U-turn, the public authority of Ghana declared a choice to look for a bailout from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The choice has been met with inescapable analysis across the Ghanaian public space.
In a road interview with some ordinary Ghanaians, different conclusions have been shared about the country's seventeenth process to the IMF.
For some who dread the effect an IMF program might have on some friendly mediation arrangements, they accept the public authority should prefer think about surrendering a few uses for such strategies.
"In the event that the program prompts the retraction of supportive of unfortunate strategies I will be constrained to think there is a conspiracy between them (IMF) and government. Things like ex-gratia take a ton of our spending plan and on the off chance that it will be left to the detriment of social intercession strategies like Free SHS it won't seem OK. They ought to drop the ex-gratia all things being equal," a merchant told Oman Channel.
Others said they feel frustrated in President Akufo-Addo considering the degree of certainty they rested in him and the present status of Ghana's economy.
"We as a whole assumed a part for Akufo-Addo to turn into our leader with our thumbs. What's more, it is frustrating the way that he is guiding the undertakings of the country. Presently, check out at the cost of fuel. They brought E-Levy and presently they are going to IMF.
"I can say that we are being auctions off as a country and extremely soon the whites will assume control over us," a man said.
Another man who imparted his insight expressed that there is an authority emergency in Ghana.
"Whenever they are given power, it turns into a similar story of disappointment. NDC is in resistance now and you can perceive how persuading they sound yet when we give them power, sense will escape them. We needn't bother with God to plummet or IMF to come and improve Ghana, we just need great administration which we don't have. In the mean time, we have every one of the assets," he expressed.
The public authority on July 1, 2022, reported a choice to look for IMF help to relieve current financial difficulty.
As indicated by the public authority, the move has become fundamental considering the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine battle on Ghana's economy.
