People are not ashamed to attribute any changes in the economy to NPP. It implies how cheap NPP is. Always reaping what they have not sowed. No wonder they tried selling everything of the country to themselves.

Hey, KT Hammond, you are truly A STUPID VULTURE..!!!! Shut up there, and go and ask Bawumia himself to tell Ghanaians how we benefitted from his "GOLD-FOR-OIL-SCAM". We noq know that they simply created that fraudulent system to amass wealth for themselves, which proceeds they have stolen and hidden, and are now using for their fruitless campaign. Gold-For-Oil came, and Ghanaians rather had to buy a gallon of fuel from GHC 18.00 and up to Ghc 24.00. As for the NDC, our achievement with the GOLDBOD INITIATIVE is yielding clear results, and every Ghanaian is feeling it. Get away with your stupid nonsense! We always see you NPP DEMONS claiming to be the ones who have restored our economy when people have toiled and sacrificed to put in workable policies. If is is good, you CRAZY JUNKIES will want to claim the credit, but when it is bad, we always see you pointing out fingers. NPP akromfuor nkwasiafuor amanbofuor..!!!!!

Who took Ghana to the IMF in 2022? It was Dr Messiah Bawumia and Ken Ofori Atta- cum Akuffo Addo- The NPP Economic Messiah-Dr Bawumia. Ghana has been to the IMF 18 times- Ghana has spend 40 years under the IMF conditions out of its 68 years history-Ghana IS A FAILED STATE.
The World Bank has pushed back against the erstwhile Akufo-Addo administration’s long-held narrative that Ghana’s 2022 economic collapse was the result of global turmoil, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war.
Bawumia was the Chairman of the Ghana National Economic Management Committee but he says that he was the Drivers Mate. How can a driver's mate do this when he claims he never had the chance to implement anything in government because the powers that be did not allow him. Yet he wants to claim credit for any good things that he never did yet will refuse to accept responsibility for any failure in their government. How stupid does this man think we are? You took the cedi from 4 to 17 and still had the audacity to tell us the rate of depreciation at that time was better than the previous NDC administration. What at all does this man take us for? Does he think we're stupid or what? Someone should tell this man that we haven't forgotten about the DDEP haircuts and surely we shall punish the npp again come 2028.

It insisted that the economic meltdown was “homegrown”.

In its latest 2025 Policy Notes on Ghana, the Bank made clear that while the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine worsened the situation, they were not the root cause.

“The deterioration of global conditions… was not the cause of the 2022 macroeconomic crisis; rather, it merely exposed an economy already beset with deep structural vulnerabilities and precarious macroeconomic conditions,” the report said.

The government has frequently blamed external shocks for the collapse, which saw inflation spiral, the cedi plummet, and the country default on its debt.

But the World Bank said years of weak governance, fiscal indiscipline, and stalled reforms were the real culprits of Ghana's "dark days".

Interbank Market: Cedi trades at GH¢12.35 to $1

The bank also argued that the easy access to international credit and expectations of resource windfalls encouraged short-term political decisions at the expense of long-term stability.

The report noted that the cycle of expansionary spending followed by painful corrections, one that has forced Ghana into 17 IMF programs over the past 68 years, is damaging.

“Sudden macroeconomic stops and crises have led the country to request a record number of IMF programs, remaining under active IMF support for 40 out of its 68 years of history,” the Bank said.

The report also noted that more than 800,000 people were pushed into poverty in the aftermath of the 2022 crisis, with per capita incomes stuck at around US$2,200 for over a decade.

Today, more than a quarter of Ghanaians live below the poverty line, it noted.

Looking ahead, the Bank also raised alarms about Ghana’s fiscal management in the 2024 election year.

It flagged unbudgeted spending commitments of roughly US$4.8 billion, equivalent to 5.7% of GDP, much of it accumulated outside official financial systems.

“Spending indiscipline poses a critical challenge…undermining efforts to maintain fiscal discipline and compromising long-term sustainability,” the report cautioned.

Also, the energy sector arrears still cost around 2% of GDP annually, while COCOBOD’s debts reached US$1.8 billion in 2024, with interventions distorting markets and hurting farmers.

The bank warned that Ghana now stands at a critical crossroads, and temporary fixes will not be enough.

“There is an urgent need to signal a clear break from the past and a commitment to change… Success will ultimately be measured by the ability of the government to regain the trust of its citizens.”

Its recommendations are focused on restoring fiscal discipline, broadening the tax base, reforming state-owned enterprises, and enhancing governance.

Without decisive reforms, the World Bank cautions, Ghana risks remaining trapped in its cycle of crisis and bailouts for decades to come.

KT HAMMOND, YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE CALL HONOURABLE BECAUSE YOU ARE JUST SINGING THIS PRAISES INTO THE EARS OF BAWUMIALIAR TO BE RELEVANT.

WHAT DID YOU PLANT?
YOU PLANTED GARGANTUAN LOOTING AND SHARING OF OUR RESOURCES AND PLUNDERED GHANA INTO THE ABYSS OF DEBT AND BANKRUPTCY.
By shifting the focus solely to the NDC, KT Hammond's statement appears to deflect accountability from his government's actions. It's essential to recognize the role of the current administration in shaping the economy and to work towards finding solutions that benefit all Ghanaians.

Until the debt is paid, DDEP sums paid back, Banking sector is restored, inflation and exchange rate reduced as low as possible, lending rates reduced among others before we can declare the economy "fixed". KT Hammond and his likes should just wait for the new government to do the recovery.

But i want to ask KT two questions
1. Remember you said it was agreed that you needed to find a way, but did not tell us whether you find it or not. So the question is, did you find the way?

2. Just as Sammy is heading goldboard, what is the name of the institution you establish, and who did you put in charge of it.

3. Was Nana Addo part of the process? Don't get it twisted, I only ask because he (Nana was implicated in a gold smuggling scandal by an international media that he failed to proved his innocence

Instead of Mahama tackling the economy woes, he is rather arresting people who will speak against his poor governance. Mahama is a crazy man with no vision or anything to offer us.

If you are a farmer will you be yielding harvest within this short period?.What the Ndc government is doing now is like inheriting your parents properties after their death. You spend it anyhow because you didn't work for it. But when it gets hard on you then you turned round and blame others.

Just one week after coming to power in 2017, the useless NPP claimed they are the ones who solved Dumsor. Meanwhile the lights were on for a greater part of 2016. NPP never again
