IMF HAS EXPOSED NDC AND MAHAMA
Mahama’s claim that he and the NDC left Ghana’s economy in good shape is a big lie. The recent IMF mission to Ghana has revealed that Mahama and the NDC rather mismanaged Ghana’s economy before they were disgracefully chased out of power. Joel Toujas-Bernate, leader of the mission, noted that: “In 2016, the overall fiscal deficit (on a cash basis) deteriorated to an estimated 9 percent of GDP, instead of declining to 5¼ percent of GDP as envisaged under the IMF-supported program. The large deviation was mainly due to poor oil and non-oil revenue performance and large expenditure overruns. As a result, the government’s debt-to-GDP ratio increased further to close to 74 percent of GDP at end-2016.”
He further welcomed government’s intention to control public spending and protection of the public purse.
“Significant public spending commitments that bypassed public finance management (PFM) systems were reported. We welcome the new government’s intention to conduct a full audit of outstanding obligations, its commitment to transparency and its readiness to take strong remedial actions to ensure the integrity of the PFM systems going forward.
The large financial imbalances of state-owned enterprises in the energy sector also need to be addressed with urgency to avoid the build-up of contingent liabilities for the new government. We welcome the new government’s commitments to encourage its departments and agencies to implement growth-enhancing reforms in a fiscally sustainable manner,” he added

You mean the heritage fund that the NDC set up? Thank the NDC for having the wisdom to set up the fund for rainy days. No you idiots wnat to decimate the fund all in the name of making the NPP look good in the sight of Ghanaians.

In Economics, there is a theorem of "Capital Accumulation: Postponing Present Consumption".

The NPP is raiding the national coffers (the family jewelry) just to satisfy its short-term whims.

1.Annual Budget Funding Money.
2.GNPC Funds.
3.Stabilisation Fund.
4.Heritage Fund.
Therefore,NPP has many options to select one of the components or combine without necessarily touching the Heritage Fund if my understanding is right.Thank you.
