A UK-based Ghanaian legal practitioner, Senyo Le Grand-McKenzie, has applauded the John Mahama-led administration for what he sees as a swift and impressive turnaround of Ghana's economy, less than six months into its new term.
Le Grand-McKenzie contrasted the current state of the economy with the pre-election period, describing the change as both significant and promising in an interview with GHOne TV. "I would say comparatively, the economy before we were here, during the campaign time, it was really at the verge of collapsing.
Ghana was really going the path of being collapsed completely in terms of the economy," he said, recalling the hardship and economic instability that characterized the final months of the previous administration.
He went on to describe the situation Ghanaians faced before the 2024 general elections as dire. "Life for almost everybody in the country was quite unbearable," he stated, pointing to the severe strain on livelihoods and household incomes at the time.
