A former Minister of Trade and Industry, Dr Ekwow Spio-Garbrah, has praised President 's leadership and the performance of the current government under the (NDC), describing it as a transformative moment for Ghana.
In a statement titled "The Great NDC and Ghana under a Great President Make Ghana Shine Again," Dr Spio-Garbrah attributed recent positive economic indicators to what he called a wave of integrity, swift decision-making, and accountability sweeping through government operations. "The excellent results being announced above by the BoG and in other aspects of the economy are due to a combination of Ghanaians electing a far more honest President on December 7th last year," he stated.
He commended President Mahama for holding himself and his administration to strict timelines. "President JM [John Mahama] holding himself and the GoG accountable to a tight 120-day deadline for achieving key targets," he emphasized it has made a real difference.
According to Dr Spio-Garbrah, the swift nomination and vetting of government appointees, along with decisive leadership and more effective coordination between key economic institutions, have been instrumental in stabilizing and reviving Ghana's economy. "Better decisions by the President and new NDC appointees," and "Better coordination between the Minister of Finance and the Governor of the BoG," he noted, were visible signs of improved governance.
