The Member of Parliament for Tano North Constituency, Dr Gideon Boako, says the government’s claims of economic gains are only reflected in official figures and not in the daily lives of ordinary Ghanaians.

According to him, while key economic indicators may appear positive on paper, they are not translating into improved conditions in the markets or putting more money in the pockets of citizens.

He made the remarks in an exclusive interview with Dr Cash on OTEC FM’s Afternoon Political Show Dwabrem on Wednesday, August 12, 2026.

“The government’s claim of better economic management is only in books. Now government is talking about low inflation, from 23% to 4.6%. However, these are mere rhetoric with no impact on the people,” he stated.

Dr Boako said the government appeared more focused on achieving “clean books” than delivering tangible development and economic growth for citizens.

He called on the government to “sit up, tell the people the reality and stop giving them false hopes.”
