Deputy Finance Minister Thomas Ampem Nyarko has emphatically reaffirmed the government's resolve to maintain fiscal discipline and steer Ghana's economy independently, stating that the country is fully capable of continuing its progress without further reliance on an IMF programme.
Speaking on Joy FM's Super Morning Show during a discussion of President Mahama's eight economic pillars, Mr Nyarko underscored that the president's policy framework is not only robust but also flexible enough to accommodate additional national priorities, including the critical issue of corruption. "I want to assure everyone that the eight points President Mahama listed can be expanded to include corruption and other key concerns.
We've made strong statements in the past about our commitment to fighting corruption.
So, I do not believe that its omission here suggests the President is any less committed.
