Ghana’s economy was ‘criminally mishandled’ during Akufo-Addo’s presidency – President Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama has expressed shock at the economic mismanagement he has uncovered.
According to him, the NPP government “criminally mishandled” the country’s economy.
President Mahama said this when speaking at the National Tripartite Committee meeting held at the Ministry of Labour, Jobs, and Employment, where the 10% increase in base pay for public sector workers, effective March 2025, was announced.
“We all knew the economy was in crisis, but some of the things I am uncovering myself have been a criminal mishandling of our economy. Ghana is now a crime scene,” he stated.
“How can a government be so reckless? I cannot understand,” he added.
This pay raise marks the second adjustment in less than a year, with the last one occurring in 2024 when the government approved a 23% increase aimed at addressing the rising cost of living.
