The NDC and some Ghanaian economy gurus do not believe the Covid-19 pandemic has brought the world economies very serious devastation and unplanned debts to their economies. I remember the chancellor of Germany said, this is not the time to talk about the national debt but should think about survival. This is a respond to the SPD parliamentarian who wanted to use the Germany rising national debt to the GDP. as a case. Because of political expediency and motives of talking in favour of the political party so that he or she can be considered a position when such political party come power. This has blinded these economist who know what is good for the country. These economist some are lecturers who were paid their full salaries when they were at home for almost eight months. If there were no problem why did they stay home?
