Economist and professor at the University of Ghana Business School, Godfred Bokpin, has commended the current economic management under President John Mahama, drawing a sharp contrast with the previous administration led by Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
According to Prof.
Bokpin, what Ghanaians are witnessing today is leadership that the country sorely lacked in recent years. "The current administration has ample room to take credit for the economy," he stated during a discussion on TV3's The Key Points on Saturday, July 26.
He added that, "If the previous management of the central bank had 40 per cent of the leadership that the current ones are showing now, the economic situation would have been different." Bokpin did not hold back in his critique of the Akufo-Addo administration, describing its performance as a squandered opportunity. "The past administration did not listen," he said bluntly. "We haven't seen anything like this in our history," he added, pointing to the proactive measures and transparency he believes are now taking shape under the new regime.
