I know posterity will judge the Akufo-Addo govt well - Gabby Asare-Otchere Darko

Bawumia to speak on the economy

We have invested more into the economy than any govt, Gabby brags

To cross the eight, you must be bold and proud of what you have achieved, Gabby

A leading member of the New Patriotic Party, Gabby Asare-Otchere Darko, has stated that time will be the best judge of the good works of the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo government.

He explained that for a government that has been able to set aside its main priorities to, for instance, provide monies that banks lost from the financial sector cleanup, they sure have been better managers of the economy.

“I haven’t seen anywhere in the world where banks collapse and the government guarantees you every money you had in the account. It hasn’t happened anywhere before. Show me one country where this is happening but it happened here in so-called poor Ghana.

“GHc24 billion; imagine what that money would have been used for. Government still had its manifesto promises yet there was a crisis that it faced yet it found the money. Unbudgeted – GHC24 billion and we still wonder where the money is, where the money of Ghanaians are?” he said.

Speaking at the National Tertiary Students Confederacy (TESCON) Training and Orientation Conference at Kasoa in the Central Region, he added that the Nana Akufo-Addo government has invested more in sectors of the country than any other government in the country’s history.

“When a government has invested more in agriculture, more in health, more in education, more in security, more in government institutions, more on roads, more on infrastructure than any government in the history of this country and still found GHc24 billion to give back to depositors.

“And we wonder, and we allow all the propaganda to get to us, to hit our morale (sic). I know that posterity will judge the Akufo-Addo government well but we should not wait for posterity because if we wait for posterity, you know what will happen? Every government breaks after eight years… if you want to cross the eight, you must be bold and proud of what you have achieved,” he stated.

The Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, is expected to deliver a keynote address at this conference.
