The Member of Parliament for Tano North and Deputy Ranking Member on Parliament’s Finance Committee, Dr Gideon Boako, has questioned the government’s claims of building economic resilience, arguing that the end of Ghana’s programme with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has exposed the true state of the economy.
In a Facebook post on Monday, August 3, Dr Boako said the country’s economy remains fragile despite government assurances of recovery and resilience.
“The IMF programme is over. The economy is naked again. After all, the much-talked-about resilience by government was just a hoax,” he stated.
The former spokesperson to former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia argued that the real condition of the economy is reflected in the daily experiences of Ghanaians, particularly the rising cost of living.
He cited increases in fuel prices and the cost of food items, including tomatoes, as evidence that households continue to face significant economic pressure.
Dr Boako maintained that the government must move beyond claims of economic recovery and focus on implementing policies that bring tangible improvements to the lives of Ghanaians.
