The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has insisted that Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia cannot absolve himself from the current debilitating economic situation in Ghana.
Mr. Mahama insists that every member of the Akufo-Addo administration must be held accountable for the current state of the country’s economy.
Speaking at a town hall meeting in Tamale in the Northern Region on Thursday, John Mahama said the NPP has messed up the country and must be shown the exit.
“Now, all those who contributed to the mess are attempting to distance themselves as if they were not involved. People have started claiming they were not in charge and that their voices weren’t heard, but they all played a part in the crisis, and none of them can evade responsibility. They all participated in cabinet meetings and collectively made decisions.”
“All of them ‘dey inside’, Jack Toronto and all his brothers, all of them are part of the mess we are going through. None of them can escape responsibility.”

Meanwhile, the Ghana Union of Traders Association (GUTA), has declared that it will sign a social contract with political leaders vying for the presidency in 2025. This agreement would be based on their economic policies and manifesto commitments.
President of the Association, Dr. Joseph Obeng, indicated that the decision is to ensure that the business community and Ghanaians hold the next president accountable.
Speaking to the GNA, he said GUTA has observed that presidential candidates are beginning to listen to and align with the requirements of the business community in their visions.
Dr. Obeng added that the business sector is interested in policies which, when implemented, would support business growth while contributing to revenue generation through taxation and job creation for the youth. He encouraged all political parties and their leaders, as well as individual aspirants, to extensively engage the association to incorporate their needs in their manifestos.
