Akufo-Addo government is taking Ghana in the wrong direction, according to Hon. Daniel Kwesi Asiamah, Member of Parliament (MP) for Buem in the Oti Region.

According to him, the economic performance has declined under the Akufo-Addo led government since 2017.

“Few citizens are content with the country’s economic situation and their personal living conditions, and a majority say the country is headed in the wrong direction”.

“Look at the economy. Too much hardship now…I wish it could have been better but Bloomberg is painting our cedi black and that is the fact on the ground,” Daniel Kwesi Asiamah told Kwaku Dawuro on ‘Pae Mu Ka’ on Accra-based Kingdom FM 107.7

According to him, the recent Corruption Perception Index (CPI) report has shredded into pieces President Akufo-Addo’s much-acclaimed incorruptible tag, making him the country’s worst leader in the fight against the menace.

He says it is obvious President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s fight against illegal mining is in a final state of “glaring” defeat.

Daniel Kwesi Asiamah believed it will bode well for the NPP and the country for that matter, should the government humbly acknowledge its inaptitude and helplessness in dealing with corruption so the NDC can proffer solutions to deal with the canker.
