The Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso, Stephen Amoah, has expressed his respect for President John Mahama but criticized his comments on Ghana’s economy during his State of the Nation Address (SONA).
According to him, Mahama’s portrayal of the economy as struggling and his accusations of economic mismanagement against the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government are unfair.
Dr. Amoah stated that while he respects President Mahama, he finds his statements about the economy misleading.
“I like and respect him a lot, and I am proud that he is our President, but his utterances on the economy paint a bad image, which is not right,” he stated.
He acknowledged President Mahama’s composure during his address, saying, “His composure was very good, and he spoke as a father, but because of politics, he wants to disgrace the NPP, which is wrong.”
Speaking in an interview on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem Dr. Amoah argued that the NPP administration left behind a stronger economy than President Mahama suggests.
“The complaints are too much. We have given him the job, and he should work,” he said.
Dr. Amoah further accused Mahama of making inaccurate statements about the economy.
“He didn’t give the true State of the Nation Address. His comments were just to destroy Ghana, which is not the best. This doesn’t mean they are selling the country well,” he added.
According to the Nhyiaeso lawmaker, President Mahama should focus on implementing policies rather than blaming the previous government for economic challenges.
