The Member of Parliament for Madina, Francis-Xavier Sosu, has said that the inability of the managers of the economy to manage it properly has led Ghanaians to the current economic hardship.

According to the MP, the current government, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), came into power on the ticket of the economy, and they cannot run away from it now that things are going wayward.

Speaking on Starr Chat with Bola Ray, the lawmaker explained that the NPP government came into power when the cedi to the dollar was about 3.8 Ghana cedis to a dollar, and yet they said former President John Mahama had mismanaged the economy.

He further explained that the dollar-to-cedi exchange rate has risen from 3.8 to about 17 cedis to a dollar, adding that the NPP has refused to accept responsibility, blaming it on COVID-19, the Ukraine war, and other factors. "Even when the cedi to the dollar was about 3.8, they said Mahama had mismanaged the economy.
