Former Deputy Communication Minister, Felix Ofosu Kwakye, has said that the current economic hardship being faced by Ghanaians will continue until the Akufo-Addo led government is booted out of power.
According to him, the government can not solve the current economic challenges because it is incompetent.
He added that the government does not listen to the views of people who are not part of the government, citinewsroom.com reports.
Ofosu Kwakye further stated that the only way to stop this hardship is to vote out the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and vote in the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
“The suffering will persist until they (NPP) are booted out for the NDC that is more responsive to the needs of the people, prudent in the use of public resources and that will stay away from the ostentation that has plagued government under this administration.
“I don’t think that anybody has lost track of what exactly needs to be done. This is a very intransigent government that does not respect the views of people outside of it. They are hopelessly incompetent yet they do not want to take onboard advice that is necessary to get us out of this mess,” he is quoted to have said on the Eyewitness News.
The former deputy minister also said that the government failed to act even though there were clear signs the economy was heading into trouble.
“This crisis has been going on for months un-end, and yet they have done nothing about it. It has gotten worse so when you hear that they have gone into meetings to think through measures to get us out, one can only laugh because it is this same group of people who have led us into this mess,” he said.
Meanwhile, President Nana Akufo-Addo has urged Ghanaians to be patient as the government works to resolve the current challenges.
The government held a crunch cabinet to come up with means to help curb the current hardship been faced by Ghanaians.
It has stated that at least 15 social intervention policies including the Free Senior High School policy will be reviewed as well as a 30 percent reduction in the pay of government appointees.

Give us a break was it any better under your regime? You assume so because you could sell properties at Trassaco? Sometimes be reflective and humble in your talk. We are all discerning
JJ Rawlings knew him to be a BABY WITH SHARP TEETH. Kwakye Ofosu has so many cobwebs is his wardrobe he should not be talking.

Shame on you Prophet of doom!! I bet you this attitude will not help your dreams 👎👎👎
Fuckertive
Today, I listened to Kwakye Ofosu on Elosii Sen with OB. It was painful to listen him 'rejecting' the data on cedi deprecation over the period from (I think) 2012 to 2022, as put to him by OB. His reason was that because 7 ghs is a bigger figure than 4 or so ghs during their time, no one could convince him NPP has been better so far than the NDC in managing the depreciation rate. Now, make no mistake, we don't want the cedi to depreciate, particularly as import-dependent economy. So for one party to say we're better at managing the cedi depreciation does no one any good. At the same, it is the usual failure of the NDC to understand such basic reasoning behind the percentages, preferring rather to rely on a nominal figure that is their undoing all the time. So according to Kwakye Ofosu, If you have 1 ghs which is 1:1 to the dollar and by the time you leave office it's 4+ ghs to the dollar, it is better than moving from 4 to 7 ghs because of course 7 is bigger than 4. Now to break it down for Kwakye Ofosu in everyday language, If a child (i.e.. 1 ghs) carries a heavy burden (-3 ghs ---i;e depreciation from 1 to 4) that child may not survive. However if a relatively older person (i.e 4 ghs) carries the same burden (-3 ghs----i.e deprecation from 4 to 7), his chances of survival are higher than the child's. So for the information of Kwakye Ofosu, that is why the denominator MATTERS. This is why percentages are important. Education is important, but half education that is not humble enough to recognize that we don't know enough may be not help Kwaky Ofosu.
After 2016 election, has Ofosu-Kwakye worked? What is his main occupation? Yet he is not poor and driving a big car despite fuel prices rising and chopping good food big time. Where is his source of income? Someone should tell me. These are the things that require attention in Ghana because once you are in politics, your lifestyle can be maintained whether you are working or not.
