Previous President Mahama has declared that the Akufo-Addo government was in a condition of discipline for a really long time as respect the hotel to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for financial help.

He said the postpone in looking for help, when clearly the nation required one, has made huge harm the economy.

"After an extensive time of living willfully ignorant and diving the economy into remarkable dejection, government at long last chosen half a month prior to demand for an IMF program.

They left the choice so late that significant harm had been finished to the economy when the call was at last made. Expansion remains at a long term high of practically 30% for June and is nearly set to rise. Our shortfall and income targets have so far been severely missed and we are probably going to post one more twofold digit shortage toward the finish of this monetary year," he said at a studio went to by individuals from the Minority Group in Parliament hung on Sunday.

Mr. Mahama lamented the way that, " Indications from the information assortment exercise of the IMF group that visited Ghana last week are that administration has up to GHS 40 billion falling behind financially and contingent liabilities notwithstanding the authority public obligation of about GHC400 billion."

 

The previous President this is accepted to have expanded the country's obligation to GDP proportion more than 90%.

"Our capacity to meet our obligation administration commitments stays dubious with Ghana positioned as the country with the second most noteworthy probability of obligation default on the planet after El Salvador. Its an obvious fact that our unfamiliar cash save position is very shaky. This leaves us weak except if there is a pressing infusion of extra unfamiliar trade inflows," the 2020 NDC flagbearer set.

He battled that against this foundation, "the monetary difficulty is set to stay for a drawn out period."

He depicted Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's discourse at the Accra Business School as cheerful, "In the midst of this bleak viewpoint, those liable for the wreck won't display penitence and moderation. One of the vital engineers of the bombed strategies and blunder that have prompted our financial defeat and enduring, found it important two or three days prior, to set up a public presentation that came close to the crazy and funny."

 

He noticed that somewhere else, Dr. Bawumia would have surrendered, "In an administration where honor and obligation are regarded, the Chair of the Economic Management Team that has pushed us into this emergency would have ventured down or be excused."

"As a matter of fact, the general concept that this administration has mentioned for an IMF program would have been adequate justification behind him to go considering all the unenlightened promulgation he fiddled with against our IMF program of 2015. Rather, he has decided to show a vast deficiency in initiative credits by concocting unsound reasons and trying to move fault onto the public authority that left power very nearly quite a while back and which played no part to play in the unfortunate strategy decisions that have conveyed these deplorable results," Mr. Mahama finished up.
