The Deputy Finance Minister-designate, Thomas Nyarko Ampem, has criticised the New Patriotic Party (NPP) caucus in Parliament for failing to attend the National Economic Dialogue.

Speaking in an interview with GhanaWeb TV, he emphasised the importance of consensus-building in shaping the country’s economic future.

"It is important that we build consensus. Whether you like it or not, there is every indication that one day, the NPP may rule Ghana again. So, if we are resetting this country, it is crucial that we reach a consensus so that we all agree on the path to growth and development.

"If someone stays out of the process and we reset the economy, only for them to come and redirect it in a way that does not sustain the gains we are making today, then we haven't achieved much. However, all hope is not lost. Whatever we do here today, we will spend the next few days, weeks, and months trying to bring everyone on board. It is very, very important that we are all on the same page," he stated.

The National Economic Dialogue, organised by the government, aims to bring together key stakeholders, including government officials, economists, and business leaders, to deliberate on strategies for resetting Ghana’s economy.

The event is being held under the theme, "Resetting Ghana: Building the Economy We Want Together."
