NPP’s silence on economic indicators suggests Mahama is doing better – Haruna Iddrisu
Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu has questioned whether the New Patriotic Party’s limited discussion of key economic indicators at its recent conference amounted to an acknowledgement that President John Dramani Mahama’s administration was performing better.
Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu suggested that the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) silence on certain economic indicators during its recent delegates conference implied President John Dramani Mahama's administration was performing better. On Joy FM, Mr Iddrisu, Tamale South MP, questioned why the opposition did not address inflation, debt, debt-to-GDP rate, and infrastructure investment.
He argued that the NPP's lack of discussion on these topics was politically significant, potentially indicating an admission of better economic management by Mahama's government. The NPP had previously criticized the government's 24-hour economy policy, but Mr Iddrisu maintained that his focus was on broader economic indicators rather than a specific policy.
He reiterated that the NPP government had launched a gold purchase program through the Bank of Ghana, which had resulted in losses but also improved gold reserves and currency stability. Mr Iddrisu believed that these interventions positively impacted businesses' ability to plan and manage their operations.
