‘Government Statistician’ title must go, says statisticians’ president
Nsowah-Nuamah, has called for Ghana to abolish the title "Government Statistician", arguing that the colonial-era designation is undermining public confidence in the country's official statistics.
The former Deputy/Acting Government Statistician said the title creates the impression that official figures on inflation, unemployment, population and economic growth are produced to serve the government of the day rather than the nation, fuelling scepticism whenever new economic data are released.
His comments come amid recurring public debate over the credibility of Ghana's official statistics, particularly inflation figures, which often attract criticism from people who argue that the published data do not reflect the rising cost of living.
