The Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, has rejected claims by the Minority that he has admitted COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war negatively impacted Ghana's economy.
In a lengthy Facebook post, the minister sought to correct what he called an erroneous impression that he was echoing the former government's justification for the country's struggling economy.
He emphasised that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has never claimed that the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war did not affect the global economy, including Ghana. "I hear our incompetent and corruption-infested friends in the Micro Minority are saying that I admitted in my speech in Geneva that COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war had been the cause of the economic challenges we faced in Ghana under their watch, in an attempt to justify how grossly incompetent they managed the economy of Ghana.
I do not know whether I should cry or laugh.
