Member of Parliament for Ketu North, Edem Agbana, has strongly defended President John Dramani Mahama's assessment of the economy, describing it as an accurate reflection of the challenges inherited from the previous administration.
During his submission in Parliament, Agbana dismissed claims from the opposition that Mahama's address was merely filled with lamentations, asserting that the president provided a truthful account of the state of the economy. "The economy that President Mahama inherited, the economy that the NPP left behind, is actually the picture that President Mahama painted.
And for some of us, we even believe that President Mahama was too modest in telling the people of Ghana the actual state of the economy that he inherited," he stated.
He went on to highlight contradictions within the opposition, reminding them that even the former president admitted to leaving behind a struggling economy. "The president himself, former President Akufo-Addo, indeed admitted that he was leaving behind a difficult economy.
