According to the Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, conditions have gotten worse under the current government.
According to him, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has destroyed the buoyant economy he inherited from the Mahama administration.
Otukonor pointed out that despite the promises by the NPP to give Ghanaians a comfortable life, many people are worse off now than they were before the last elections.
He urged the government to ensure the creation of sustainable jobs for the thousands of unemployed youth rather than “dismissing thousands from post and putting others in their place”, which it said, “does not create or sustain decent jobs. It simply gives employment to some and unemployment to others,” Peter Boamah Otukonor told Kwame Tutu on Anopa Nkomo on Accra-based Kingdom FM 107.7
He said the NPP created a false sense that it could out-perform the NDC in government but after winning the last elections, the policies of the government have resulted in untold hardship, with every sector of the economy taking a hit.
