Audio Attachment: Listen to Kofi Adams |
National Organizer of the opposition National Democratic Congress [NDC], Kofi Adams has described President Akufo-Addo’s appeal to Ghanaians to be considerate in their demands as hypocritical.
President Nana Akufo-Addo on a two-day working visit to the Upper West Region as part of his 7-day tour in the Northern Region, in a respond to demands made by some chiefs and individuals of the Dorimon traditional area at Jambusi in the Wa West District, asked Ghanaians to be considerate in their demands on his government as he makes effort to put the economy on a sound footing.
The Chiefs had earlier notified the president of some developmental challenges they faced. In response, the President stressed, “what we are saying is that, all the things that you have put to me are things that I am very concerned about – extending the school feeding programme, establishing a nurses training college—but a lot of them depend on the state of our public finances. And the truth of the matter is that, I am not a lucky son, I did not inherit a rich father. The inheritance I got from my predecessor was an empty treasury so I’m working my way from the bottom up”.
He however, assured Ghanaians of his commitment to honour all his campaign promises.
Speaking with CITI FM on President Akufo-Addo’s claims that a challenged economy was bequeathed to him, Kofi Adams stressed “His Excellency the president is not only showing signs of double standards but is also peddling falsehoods, I can tell you on any day that President Akufo-Addo inherited a better economy than possibly any of our presidents have had in the 4th Republican constitution”.
He said, the current government is fortunate with the kind of economy inherited from the NDC because “the NDC inherited an economy in 2009 that was borrowing to pay salaries. Indeed we went out there and took bonds (Euro bonds) before we could pay salaries that was the type of economy we inherited”.
“The NPP inherited an economy that never borrowed to pay salaries, we paid salaries using revenues generated internally, we have added a lot more infrastructure that did not exist. Go to our airports today, go to our sea ports today,...we expanded Kumasi airport, Tamale airport...the Kotoka International Airport itself is seeing massive expansion works," he added.

Is KOFI ADAMS NOW A ECONOMIST. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ECONOMICS MR ADAMS GO AWAY TH
We dont need anyone to tell us about economy, we knew the economy then we know it now, we can feel it. and we defnitly dont need you to tell us about the econmy either. would you pls shat the f up
This man is talking about his pocket and that fact that he is not able to chop chop anymore. The economy was better for him then but not now because he cannot chop chop free fuek ans police escort and al that
Given the current state of the economy I think it would be in the best interest of the state to keep these struggling businesses running rather than revoke their licenses. What is worrying though is that these stations do not provide local district or metro news to their listeners. For example a listener located at Akyem-Apapam o Akyem-Maase gets no news from Kyebi, Kukurantumi or Bunsu
Where from this Kotokoli guy calling him self kofi adams.. this alien must lean how to talk... i do not know whether he is forgetting or refused to remember, ndc couldnt run the economy efficiently, also John himself admitted that his government is facing changes with regards to the economy... all the social intervention introduced my NPP, same was maintained my Uncle Attah.. but ndc/John's has collapsed all due to their inability to pay for its sustenance.. Therefore urging npp government to put structures in place to check some of these aliens taking advantage over indigenous people.
this man koraa who what can he contribute when it comes to matters of the economy?
pls get some education. there are indicators to measure an economy and that is what the man is talking about. Ask yourself if the economy was that good, then why did the previous government removed teacher, nurses and other allowances; why did they go to IMF in the first place? pls Learn so that you can make more sense when you speak!
Kofi Adams jjiiimiiiiii
Is this a new economic theory being introduced by ndc. There are indicators by which an economy is measured. Growth rate, inflation, debt to GDP etc. Ndc used over 20million dollars for a runway in Kumasi and said it is now international. The NDC themselves said the economy was challenged before npp came to power. As soon as the corrupt people begin to go to jail, there will be silence in the ndc camp.
Eeeiiiii Nana the chief of deception and lies coupled with npp UP tradition.... When at all will u stop lying? Bcos u wanted power desperately, you were promising anyhow and saying things u know nothing about...now you have irresponsible and irrelevant sycophants chanting ur praise...NPP you have failed ooo....Ghanaians are watching...
