Former Finance Minister Dr Mohammed Amin Adam has questioned President John Dramani Mahama on his claim that the economy was criminally managed by the Akufo-Addo.
In a Facebook post, he posed two questions to the president. "How could an economy described as "criminally mishandled" able to afford increases in the base pay for public sector workers by 30% in 2023; 23% from Jan - June 2024; and 25% from July - December 2024; and still posted decent fiscal deficits? "What has changed between December 2024 and February 2025, that suddenly put the economy in crisis, which cannot afford an adjustment in the base pay above 10%?" he asked.
President John Dramani Mahama says he has discovered that the economy was criminally handled by the previous NPP administration.
He says he couldn't understand how the previous government "was so reckless" in the handling of the economy.
