Prof. Kobby Mensah, Chief Executive of the Ghana Tourism Development Company, has responded sharply to the Minority in Parliament following their recent comments on the country’s economic management.
The Minority, led by former Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, accused the NDC government of lacking originality and competence, particularly regarding the Bank of Ghana’s Gold-for-Reserves programme.
In a post on X, Prof. Mensah dismissed the criticisms, describing the Minority as “all talk without practical solutions” and challenged their record in government.
“Which of your ‘old’ ideas reduced the pound sterling from 23 cedis to 14? The dollar from 16 cedis to 11? Or reduced fuel from 20 cedis per litre to 10.37? Talk, Talk Party,” he wrote.
The Minority had called for a bipartisan parliamentary inquiry into an alleged $214 million loss under the Gold-for-Reserves programme.
At the press conference, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah claimed the government has not introduced any new economic strategies.
“The truth about this government is that they have not introduced any superior economic ideas.
“All they have been doing is rebranding, renaming old things and sometimes even hiding the details until we, the Minority, bring them to the public’s attention,” he said, further questioning what innovative policies the government plans after the IMF programme concludes in mid-2026.
