Ghanaian businessman and philanthropist, Dr Kofi Amoah, has called for the establishment of a National Rescue Fund (NRF) to support vulnerable citizens as the newly installed government works to overcome the severe economic challenges inherited from the previous administration.
In a heartfelt message posted on the social media platform X, Dr Amoah highlighted the gravity of Ghana's current socio‑economic crisis, citing the "empty national coffers" and "mega loans to pay to diverse groups of lenders" left behind by the former NPP government.
With the seven‑month‑old NDC administration under President facing a difficult path to economic recovery, Dr Amoah urged Ghanaians to take collective responsibility for the nation's turnaround. "We, the citizens, cannot sit on the fence with our usual refrain to government of 'yɛ ma yɛnhwe' (do and let's see).
I think that we must get involved meaningfully," he stated.
