Danquah Institute founder, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, has called for a national debate on what he calls the “tough” economic decisions that “confront” Ghana currently.
In a tweet, Mr Otchere-Darko said: “2022 began without the usual $3 billion injections of Eurobond cash.”
Also, he said the government’s post-COVID recovery programme, GhanaCARES, “hinged partly on an E-levy” which, he surmises, “Parliament may not even OK.”
“There should be a national debate: do we want IMF or E-Levy or both or none? Tough decisions confront Ghana,” President Nana Akufo-Addo’s cousin said.
