The Minority has accused President John Dramani Mahama of engaging in yet another round of blame-shifting rather than offering concrete solutions as he leads the National Economic Dialogue.
Speaking at a press conference on Monday, March 3, former Finance Minister Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam criticized the President’s approach, arguing that he was deflecting responsibility instead of addressing Ghana’s economic challenges with actionable policies.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we are back there, with another round of blame game and another National Economic Dialogue, and with the same ‘da da noaa’ His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, who promises to create jobs and begins by firing those who have jobs,” Dr. Amin Adam stated.
He dismissed the dialogue as a repetitive exercise lacking fresh ideas, asserting that President Mahama’s leadership style remained unchanged.
The former minister further urged the government to prioritize practical solutions over political rhetoric, arguing that while the President claims to have a plan to revitalize the economy, his actions suggest otherwise.
“You cannot build a thriving economy by dismissing hardworking individuals and blaming others for your own shortcomings,” he asserted.
Dr. Amin Adam called on Ghanaians to critically assess the policies emerging from the dialogue and demand accountability from the administration.
He warned that without decisive action and responsible governance, Ghana’s economic struggles would persist, regardless of discussions held at the forum.
