The Director of Communications of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has rejected comments by President John Dramani Mahama that the Akufo-Addo administration 'criminally handled' the economy.
President Mahama had said that he discovered that the economy was criminally handled by the previous NPP administration.
He said he couldn't understand how the previous government "was so reckless" in the handling of the economy.
Speaking to organised labour in Accra on Thursday, February 20, he said "Comrades, we know we are your natural allies, we have worked together for many years. "One thing that is a cardinal principle for us is to tell the truth at all times, we all knew that the economy was in crisis but some of the things I am discovering myself, have been a criminal handling of our economy, Ghana is a crime scene because how a government can be so reckless I can't understand it. "But we are faced with a reality, our options are very few, we can behave like the ostriches and hide our heads in the sand and let the economy crash but then what effect will it have on Ghanaian households and everybody?
