Ghanaian journalist Johnnie Hughes has accused some critics of engaging in political desperation by attempting to "equalise" the current government's actions with past wrongs instead of acknowledging genuine efforts to save the country money.
Speaking on his 3FM morning show, Hughes argued that cost-cutting measures by President John Dramani Mahama's government were already yielding results, particularly in cooling down inflation, yet some politicians continued to discredit those efforts. "The government says, 'I am determined to save us money so we can use it to deal with the things that people need.' "And you are not happy about it?
You are corrupt.
It is not only about financial corruption," he said.
