In one of his most biting and sarcastic monologues yet, journalist and broadcaster Johnnie Hughes took a not-so-subtle swipe at the New Patriotic Party (NPP), mocking what he called their misplaced braggadocio about economic management - only to leave the cedi battered and bruised against the dollar by the time they exited office.
Speaking on his show on 3FM monitored by MyNewsGh, Hughes drew a sharp contrast between the NPP's self-proclaimed "solid economic management team" and the actual economic outcomes under their watch. "You didn't have to brag that you have the men.
You didn't have to brag that you have a solid economic management team," he began, his voice laced with sarcasm. "And yet within five months, you were able to bring the dollar down from 17 cedis to 10.
You didn't need gold for oil, plenty speeches, or rich-rich spokespersons at every ministry!" With biting irony, Hughes highlighted how, in just a few months, the economy began to show signs of recovery without the grand gestures and bloated PR machinery that characterized the previous administration.
