Don't blame Prez Mills for Ghana's economic woes- Akosa
Abdul Salam
Sule, Ghanadot
Accra, Feb 25,
Ghanadot - The former Director-General of the
Ghana Health Service and a CPP Presidential hopeful,
Prof. Agyemang Badu Akosa, has said that Prof. Mills
should not be blamed for the current economic woes facing
the country.
He said Ghanaians weree not being fair to the
law Professor because he had not even spent
hundred days in office to merit the criticism of
his government.
Describing those criticisms as unjustifiable and ill
conceived, Prof. Akosa noted that it was wrong for
anybody to start accusing the current government of
reneging on its promises, knowing very well it was early
days yet for the government to swing into full action.
The President Mills-led administration has come under
intense criticisms from a cross section of the public
that has accused the
National Democratic Congress (NDC) government for
failing to fulfill the number of promises made to the
electorate during the electioneering campaign.
Notable among them are the reduction of
petroleum prices to the barest minimum, provision of
school uniforms for all basic school children and
introduction of a onetime premium health insurance
policy.
None of these promises, however, have been realized
after forty days into the administration of the new
government, and tongues have already started wagging
over whether the government can reach its target.
The situation has even become more serious with the
continuous depreciation of the local currency (the cedi)
against
foreign currencies, particularly, the dollar
which has jumped from GH¢1 10Gp to GH¢1 34Gp within a
spate of 40 days.
However, Prof. Akosa believes that the new government
cannot be blamed for the
economic downturn being experienced by the
country.
The former Director-General said Ghanaians were not
being fair to President Mills, who needed some time to
sort issues out and recuperate from a long tedious
campaign.
"Look, President Mills is even yet to exceed his 100 day
relief period conventionally granted to him by the
state, to allow him some form of respite, so why must we
put pressure on him," he queried.
According to him, Ghanaians should keep their fingers
crossed and wait patiently for the hundred day period
promised by the President to elapse, rather than jumping
the gun.
