John Jinapor, former Deputy Power Minister, has cautioned government to stop deceiving Ghanaians.
Speaking on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' programme on Friday, John Jinapor recounted some lapses in the 2018 budget presentation by Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta before Parliament.
To Mr. Jinapor, the government seems to have decided to give a false imprint about the state of the economy, hence the 2018 budget failed to capture certain vital issues affecting the Ghanaian citizenry.
Talking to sit-in host Nana Yaw Kesseh, the former Minister recounted that currently petrol and gas prices have hiked up to astronomical levels and discouraging drivers in the country.
He wondered how the Akufo-Addo administration, after promising Ghanaians his government would reduce fuel prices drastically when voted into power, would today superintend over high prices in petroleum products.
He also noted that the President and his government inherited a booming oil and gas sector and so should be privileged to improve the economy, but the situation is different as the government has failed the nation.
John Jinapor therefore wants the government to deliver on its promises and stop their political antics saying free SHS is not the solution to all problems facing Ghanaians.

I praise you JJ. You have as a family decided to distribute yourselves amongst all the political parties in Ghana implying, at any time you have one sibling in government. Your family will therefore know no poverty and will thus keep on talking from your stomach. Smart move JJ
Dear Jinapo, I am sorry for you that you argue in this way. Can you tell me anything in life which is a solution to all human problemsss.Yet, some decisions become a major landmarks for the transformation of the society. SHS is good for Ghana and Africa. The fact that you are not in government should not make you to think that every initiative taken by the government should become bad. It will be better for you and all NDC to think right and come out with what you can do if you should ever come to power, rather than criticising the good moves of the government. NPP in opposition made good their brainsss to formulate policies which are helping Ghana now. Because you had no vision in Mills Mahama NDC era you resorted to corruption. Please start using your minddd now.

If the forefathers of the the northern regions had told prez nkrumah they dont need free education and that they would work hard to pay their children's school fees, how many of them would have received education.As a result of free education, we now have many educated northerners who have have occupied many important positions in this country. Now that this policy is being extended to the rest of the country, some people are against it. John jinapor come again for you are a recepient of free education.Please dont be selfish.
Peacefmonline stop using the abbreviation JJ to deceive people. We all know there is only one JJ that is Jerry John Rawlings. What kind of deceiving journalism is that. Ameyaw Adu Gyamfi should sit up. ABA!!!
another NDC f0.00l .... all that he is saying does mot make sense..... All these guys will be wiped out from parliament in the next election.....
i guess the AMERI ***barred word*** deal u defend with your heart and soul is the remedy for all our problems right?
The NDC is shooting themselves in the foot. They shouldn't come round in 2020 to pretend to be in support of the free SHS.
See this is Ndc logic! Doesn’t make any goddamn sense! Ndc know they’ve already lost in advance in the next 5 elections! Nobody ever said that free shs was the answer to all of ghana’s Problems, however we know that an uneducated populace is the bane of every country! Free shs will answer most of ghaba’s Problems! I mean heck, look at you Jinapor, you a whole nobody was able to find yourself in the presidents office...and it’s not like you even qualify! There are people in Ghana who qualify more than you but they couldn’t go on with their education because there was no money! I bet you if they had had the chance you would’ve been nowhere to be found academically as well as professionally! Ghanaians have you noticed how the Ndc has released their sharp tooth babies on Bawumia? They’re scared 💩-less of him. Discrediting him is their last chance at the presidency since they have NOBODY to challenge him. Ndc people dema Head die!
I am sad for the entire ndc communicators they should be carefull about these free ShS. else it will go against them in 2020 polls
