Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Ahmed Ibrahim, has defended the government's approach to tackling Ghana's economic challenges, insisting that the country's current struggles result from massive inherited debt.
However, he maintains that President John Mahama's administration is working tirelessly to turn things around.
Speaking on State of Affairs with Joshua Kodjo Mensah on April 1, 2025, Ibrahim dismissed claims that the government is merely lamenting instead of delivering solutions.
He stated that acknowledging the depth of the financial crisis is necessary for transparency and to build public trust. "Let the people know the reality of the challenge and give them hope that, yes, there is this problem, but we are facing it.
