Another tribal bigot of a junkie who calls himself a professor,I don't know where they studied their economics,even let's assume without admitting that Russia Ukraine war is the cause of the economic crisis,Is he trying to insinuate that that contributed more than the over borrowing whuch has led to a bankrupt and a debt defaulted economy? Russia Ukraine war affected all West African countries equally,but even the coup economies are doing well than Ghana,but still u will get some insane tribalistic human, attributing the poor econimic indices to Russia Ukraine,they dont mention covid again because it has clearly bn established that they made more money from covid than they spent.

This George Domfeh guy is a bloody buffoon and he calls himself a senior lecturer. What nonsense is he talking? I dare anyone to name any finance minister since independence who is as bad or criminal like Ken Ofori Atta. He even got an F in economics in Achimota school while Akuffo Addo was getting a third class at Legon.. Does he want Ghanaians to blame his grandmother? It is so annoying for these matemeho guys always saying corvid 19 and Russian/Ukraine war. Didn't countries like Benin, Togo, Cote d'Ivoire also suffer from the same corvid 19 and Russian/Ukraine war? I cry for George Domfeh's students who will be listening to his voodoo economics everyday.

Free education initiatives have been around for a long time since Nkrumah time such as FCUBE and others but work perfectly without issues will less money. Now these baffuns have cooked lies and expert ignorant Ghanaians to believe the BS. They just schemed to rig the country to its core. Judgement is coming soon.

We have to push for radical constitutional amendments that take the power away from sitting prezs and give it to the parliament and the citizens. The president has too much power and freedom to do what ever he likes without proper checks and balances. He appoints all the top heads of the state institutions which end up working in his favour and the encourages him to be corrupt. The president and the winning party have become like dictators and they take decisions that favour only them which is to the disadvantage of the entire country.

And also go with an all inclusive government system that will include any party that gets more than 5 percent as key stakeholders that will take decisions in making longterm goals for the country and decisions from borrowings to deals to immutable decisions for long term implementations until a given time.

The winner takes all system will not help Africa. The kind of democracy we are practicing is very outdated and needs reform.

This constitution was made since 1992, Jerry's time. I pray that the next incoming government will make this the highest priority to set Ghana as good example in Africa for others to follow.

Let's all unit and transform this country.

I bet this man called Domfe did know hear or read about the numerous borrowing, the chartered luxurious airlines for akkuffo addo and families. Does he know Databank got service fees from all the loans Ghana led by Ofori Atta got from outside Ghana? Where did all the COVID monies from world bank, WHO, domestic donors etc. go? How did we spend the revenue from gold, oil, other minerals, cocoa go? Prof. Domfe lack critical analysis because none of these were factored in his critique. He scored only 20% if I grade him. You don't give one sided point in a debate but both pros and cons. He just wants to be heard by akkuffo addo -bawumiah government. Unfortunately, he shot his foot because it came too late. Ghanaians know better than the lies of the NPP led supporters. Shame on this Prof. Domfe.

Education have not help the African, you don't need PhD to know how a few individuals used the name of Ghana and borrowed over $70 billion but nothing to show for it. These family members have bankrupted Ghana and put present and future generations into massive debt. Mr. Economist, what you should be asking is 'where are all the monies borrowed'. The money are with some few individuals and Ghanaians are been forced to pay through high taxes.
The university of Ghana should relieve this economist to from his post.

Truth is bitter and because of that Ghanaians hate the truth. Deceit is our way of life so calling spade a spade is unacceptable but tell Ghanaians that spade is called a tool yeah we will jump in excitement and dance. Critics says reckless borrowing but they close their eyes when they come face to face with reckless projects. They pretend to be sleeping when passing by on going projects. Ghanaians are lucky to have this government in power during these two setbacks, covid-19 and Russia invasion of Ukraine. The current economic hardships would have been worse than this if JDM is president of Ghana. Look at how we suffered at his hands when global economy was stable and growing and how did Ghana went to IMF in the first place as there was no pandemic and no war that threatened global economy ? Covid-19 and Russia invasion of Ukraine indeed made every government reviewed its budget whether the economy is big or small. Bigger economies cancelled some economic aids, grants etc to smaller economies like Ghana and you blame Ken Ofori Attah and Nana Akufo Addo for recklessness. We are where we are now because we love to listen to liars who call cow a goat, white as black and green as brown.

I salute you, Doctor. You have hit the mail right on the head. NDC and other stomach politicians are make noise about something they themselves know is a global phenomenon. I reside in States and prices of goods and services have shot up astronomically. A big merchandise store like Costco Wholesale, before COVID, a crate of 40 bottles of water cost $1.99. As I write this message, the same crate sells at $3.99. A bag of 25lbs Kirkland rice which was selling at $11.99 now sells at $18.99. Prices have shot up globally. Even UK reported last week that the country was in recession for the third and fourth quarters of 2023. Ghanaians please, talk to your families in the diaspora and ask how the COVID-19 and the invasion of Ukraine have impacted the economy in these countries. The problem I have with all the political parties is mother CORRUPTION!! Almost all the political leaders are corrupt and just the the COVID-19, this has cascaded down to all sectors of the economy. I was in Ghana in 2023 for couple of weeks and decided to get my Ghana driver license in Kumasi. I was asked to pay GHC 2,500 before the form could be filled out for me. We all know that, to get enlisted to the security agencies like the police, immigration, prison, military and others, one has to pay a protocol fee of thousands of cedis. Is the government not aware of all these corrupt practices. I will continue another time.

Ghana has been to the IMF 17 times under different regimes, civilian and military. Each time, the problem has been the same; and the prescription has been the same ie: LIVE WITHIN YOUR MEANS. We may blame the Nana Addo administration for two things, ie not learning from previous errors, and further, recklessly overspending the vastly increased sources of revenue. As for the overall weakness of the economy, Ghanaians should be honest to admit that ALL PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS HAVE CONTRIBUTED. We should look for a Government of National Unity ; one with the motto : GHANA FOR ALL, ALL FOR GHANA. We should admit that under the present dispensation, it will be extremely hard for either of the two major political parties to make the fundamental changes that are necessary for REAL SUSTAINABLE IMPROVEMENT..
