Communication Team Member of the ruling New Patriotic Party NPP, Nana Kofi Ntiamoah, has urged Ghanaians to have confidence in the Akufo-Addo administration to navigate the nation positively through the present economic storms because, fundamentally, the NPP has a track-record of doing so.

Nana Kofi Ntiamoah reminded Ghanaians that although times may be hard now, the Akufo-Addo administration inherited an even direr situation and successfully moved the country onto a path of growth until the whole world was blindsided by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine conflict and locally, the banking sector clean up.

He assured that despite the present difficulties, the government is working assiduously to restore the country on the path of growth and accelerate development.

"Not long ago, we had felt similar despair. The fear of losing lives to a pandemic and the battle for economy stability. Some years ago also we had been confronted by very dire economic circumstances. The joblessness of our youth, years of lights out that impacted adversely on businesses and jobs, the disappointment of dealing with a collapsed national health insurance system and inability to access health care, the bane of the cash and carry system, a nearly collapsed national ambulance system, freeze on public sector employment, an almost collapsed banking sector and so on, "He stated. 

"The government of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has put in much effort to turn things around and elevate the standards of living of the Ghanaian above what the situation used to be at the time this government was formed in 2017. Taking over from them meant we had to do our best to make things work and better.

"Together as a country, we proceeded to fix the economy. We made great gains and the records attest to this. Prior to the Coronavirus pandemic which has impacted all economies in the world, we stabilized the economy, and achieved great strides.

"In the midst of the current economic challenges we face, we are putting in place the key pillars for the economic transformation of Ghana. We may not yet be where we want to be, and we may be buffeted by the winds of the pandemic and the war for yet a little while, but we have made a great start and, together, we shall finish what we started."
