A Communications Team Member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kafui Amegah, has reiterated that government is committed to bring relief to the Ghanaian people and return the economy back to the high rates of growth that characterised the management of the economy in the three years preceding the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020.
Kafui Amegah said , “In recent times, we have been witnessing significant difficulties in the management of the national economy, largely as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy, which has been exacerbated by the effects of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.”
Speaking to Original FM,he stated that, “the basic commitment to resolving these challenges, within the framework of due process and democratic institutions, must remain unshaken. And, I am confident that God-willing, we will overcome these challenges.”
Recounting the resolution, decisive action and correct policy that saw the government winning the war against COVID-19, he was confident that “we will overcome our current economic challenges with the same mixture of determination, energy and appropriate policy.”
“Other steps will be taken, in particular, to deal with the unacceptable depreciation of the cedi. Reining in inflation, by bringing down food prices, is a major preoccupation of the government, and, hopefully, this season’s emerging, successful harvest will assist us in this regard.
