Former Finance Minister, Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, has lauded President John Mahama’s delivery at the 80th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York but expressed doubts about its connection to Ghana’s realities.
In a Facebook post, the Member of Parliament for Karaga described the address as impressive, noting the President’s ability to highlight major global concerns.
“President Mahama’s address at the 80th United Nations General Assembly was truly commendable, particularly his insights on pressing global issues such as immigration, financing for development, the Middle East conflict, and climate change,” he wrote.
He applauded Mr. Mahama’s poise and delivery, emphasising that his perspectives underscored his stature on the world stage.
However, Dr. Adam contrasted the performance with domestic challenges.
“It’s important how such a well-articulated vision and approach to international development translates to national development in Ghana, particularly as the reset economy is not resetting, whilst galamsey is out of control and free speech is being murdered.”
Despite his criticism, the MP ended on a hopeful note, urging that Mahama’s leadership values at the international level be applied to Ghana’s progress.
“Let’s hope his leadership principles and global perspectives inform his decision-making for the benefit of Ghana’s development. Best wishes to you, Mr. President.”
