The Ashanti Regional Chairman for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, has responded squarely to comments by Steve Hanke that President Akufo-Addo is mismanaging the economy of Ghana.
The NPP Chairman popularly known as Chairman Wontumi stated in an interview with Wontumionline.com that it is obvious that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has bribed Prof. Steve Hanke and hired him with “corrupt” money to speak on their behalf.
“NDC has bribed your head” Chairman Wontumi said of Prof Hanke and added that when his statements about Ghana’s economy is put under scrutiny, it becomes obvious he doesn’t understand the subject.
“I feel sad for this Professor, he has reached that height in life but has allowed himself to be bribed by NDC to speak nonsense about Ghana’s economy. What he has said is not true and I expected him to speak based on facts but he has turned out to be a propaganda professor”, Chairman Wontumi said.
Chairman Wontumi explained that Ghana’s economy has suffered firstly because of the COVID-19 and secondly because of the war between Russia and Ukraine.
