President Nana Akufo-Addo, who is serving his second in office is under fire to work harder to deal with the ‘economic hardship’ in the country.
The Akufo-Addo led government have been challenged by the #FixTheCountry Movement and other CSOs to address corruption and slash down size of his government as means to reserve sufficient capital for national development.
One Tweeter user has lamented that ‘Financial Stress under Nana Addo can make a man stare at his wife and ask “My sister when are you getting married “ ??#FixTheCountry’.
President Akufo-Addo was hit with bad press in December 2021, one of which said ‘Ghanaians going through difficult times but that’s not my fault–Akufo-Addo’.
Myjoyonline report said ‘While admitting that the current economic terrain is a trying one for citizens, he [the President] has absolved himself of any responsibility in that regard:
‘I admit that Ghanaians are going through difficult times; some people are trying to say that it is my fault, but you know that is not the case. Yet, they will continue to say it’.
On a separate platform, Northern Regional Minister, Shani Alhassan Saibu is quoted as saying that the perception of hardship in the country is not true.
He observed that the country is in a good state, adding ‘When I hear things are hard I don’t understand unless you tell me what the hard means’.
