Member of Parliament for Sagnarigu, Attah Issah, has pushed back against comments made by former Vice President Dr.
Mahamudu Bawumia, who appeared to downplay the National Democratic Congress (NDC)'s role in Ghana's recent currency recovery.
In an exclusive interview on Channel One Newsroom on Tuesday, May 20, the lawmaker dismissed what he described as an opportunistic attempt by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to claim sole credit for the cedi's recent appreciation. "The issue of politicising this discussion, I don't think it was even worth it because whatever economic policies were generated, it resulted in an exchange rate of GHC16, so whether NPP contributed to it or not, the outcome of the 2024 election was enough," Attah Issah said.
He argued that the NPP only embraces responsibility when the economy is performing well. "The NPP is only interested in taking responsibility when the situation looks good, but once it is not good, they never take responsibility.
