Shamima Muslim has strongly dismissed claims that the current administration's economic progress is due to policies put in place by the New Patriotic Party (NPP), insisting that the previous government left Ghana in economic distress. "It is too early to want to jump into the conversation about the economy and to suggest that the policies you put in place are yielding results.
The indicators you gave us before coming to power-borrowing, inflation rates-all collapsed before you exited.
Ghanaians voted you out because they were in pain, businesses were collapsing, and the cedi to dollar ratio was out of hand," she asserted.
Muslim further criticized the level of debt the NPP administration accumulated, arguing that it was more than the combined debt of all previous governments. "We have all been in agreement that the debt that the NPP administration ramped up was more than all debts combined.
