Former Minister for Local Government and Rural Development, Akwesi Oppong-Fosu, has expressed deep criticism of the current state of governance under President , suggesting that former President John Mahama faced unfair prejudice during his time in office.
Speaking on Accra-based CTV's Matter of the Game, hosted by Kwesi Kyei Darkwa on November 25, 2024, Oppong-Fosu emphasised that Mahama's administration was harshly judged despite conditions now being considerably worse under Akufo-Addo's led administration.
Oppong-Fosu highlighted the economic challenges currently facing Ghanaians, including record-high inflation and soaring national debt levels, which he claims have set the country back decades.
He described the "massive hardships, poor economic policies, and rampant corruption" under the (NPP) government as conditions that should have sparked public outrage but, instead, seemed to be met with relative acceptance.
