Ofoase Ayirebi Member of Parliament (MP) Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has expressed the Minority’s willingness to participate in the National Economic Dialogue but insists that the Mahama-led government must first reinstate the thousands of dismissed public servants.
“We are happy to participate in the National Economic Dialogue if the administration will reinstate the thousands of young people that it has sacked from public sector jobs.
“You don’t get to sack young people from the jobs that they have been rightly employed to, and say that after you had sacked them, and you are home, you are inviting us to a national economic dialogue. Reinstate them, invite us to a national economic dialogue, and we will participate in it,” he stated in an interview on Accra-based Citi FM.
Mr. Oppong Nkrumah’s condition follows President Mahama’s invitation to the opposition during the State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Thursday.
The President emphasized that the dialogue, scheduled for March 3 and 4, 2025, would focus on identifying structural reforms and policy priorities necessary to reset the country’s economic trajectory.
