A leading member of the United Party (UP), Hopeson Adorye, has disputed claims that Ghanaians are currently worse off, despite improvements in key economic indicators.
Speaking on the AM Show on JoyNews, he noted that during the tenure of the Akufo-Addo-led government, inflation reached as high as 54% but later fell to 23.8% before the administration left office.
“Today, inflation is around 3.3%, and you come here to say we are suffering more than when it was 23.8%. How can you say that?” he questioned.
Adorye’s remarks came in response to comments by New Patriotic Party (NPP) communicator Awal Mohammed, who had suggested that Ghanaians are facing greater economic hardship now than during the previous administration.
He insisted that current economic conditions, particularly the lower inflation rate, indicate that Ghanaians are not worse off compared to previous years.
