Professor Godfred Bokpin a lecturer at the University of Ghana Business School has expressed dissatisfaction with the performance of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo over the past eight years.

According to Prof. Bokpin, President Akufo-Addo could have achieved much more for Ghanaians in his administration.

Speaking in an interview on TV3 on July 30, Prof. Bokpin stated, “Our current president, if we are talking about anyone who should be accused of incompetence, then it should be our current president because he has been around for so long. He has no excuse for these results.”

He noted that public sentiment towards the government was more sympathetic four or five years ago, but it has changed due to the current economic situation.

He further criticized the two major political parties for their excessive borrowing and lack of accountability.

He questioned the tangible benefits of the borrowed funds, asking, “What did they use the borrowed funds for? What assets did we create? How prudent were we in spending the funds?”

Prof. Bokpin emphasized that neither the New Patriotic Party (NPP) nor the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has been prudent with the borrowed funds, stating, “If you look at it across the two political parties, there is none holy. Let us look at it objectively.”
