Disappointed NPP fanatics looking for classmates in failure and economic mismanagement and corruption. There is a world of difference between NDC and NPP.
Let that professor be honest with himself.

This is great to identify and point out. However, I am just wondering how these variables were tested statistically, and the evidence of that.

Second, economic variables are not just quantitative but qualitative in nature. Under which of these two parties can we say the lives of Ghanaians have improved markedly?

The truth hurt. Irrespective of the exchange rates, none, I mean none of the two major parties have been able to effectively manage the economy! You can cry all that you want.

Another useless USA based Ghanaian employed by Npp to throw dust in the eyes of vigilant Ghanaians.How come NDC is able to stabilize the cedi to the dollar at almost Gh¢4 in 8 years. But NPP/Bawumia has escalated the rate from 4 to 13 cedis to the dollar. That is a sign of a crooked government. Under NDC, hospitals , schools, factory, roads were built. And the general economy was stable for business. But now, this government deliberately, collapse businesses so as to complete their agenda of state capture. People are going hungry under this crooked NPP government.

You talking like an illiterate. Where are your inflation, depreciation, debt to GDP and real growth figures? Did you find out why Ghana became HPIC when Rawlings left and why in percentage terms the cedi depreciated more under Mils/ Mahama than even now.( 4/1) and (12/4) the ratio is 4: 3. In terms of debt accumulation standing at 51 billion dollars also divides as 10 : 29: 11 thus the ndc period recorded the highest debt stock of 29 billion. Growth has been negatively impacted because of the repayment of the 29 billion debt , covid 19 and Russia Ukraine war. The same has affected the current inflation figures. The prof was very charitable to the ndc and you should thank him.

You used percentages to distort NPP's bad management of the Cedi. Under NDC, the weakened from GHS1.00 to about GHS4.00 to $1.00. NDC therefore added GHS3.00. Under NPP, the Cedi is now about GHS12+ NPP has now added GHS8.00. How then can you say NPP has managed the Cedi better than NDC ? Don't mislead us by resorting to only percentages in the analysis.

That's absolutely untrue..!! It's baffling to note that so-called Professors and Economic Gurus in Ghana are making such bogus assertions in our politics. Who said that there's no difference NDC and NPP in terms of economic manager's debate..?? Is this guy living on a different planet..?? Does he know that the NPP leadership under Kuffour and Akufo-Addo achieved a lot of economic progress for Ghana? Kuffour left a 9.4% GDP economy to Atta-Mills and the NDC, but it had declined down to a mere 3.4% GDP in 2016 when Akufo-Addo and his NPP govt took over. By 2019 the economy had soared to 7.5% GDP under President Akufo-Addo and his NPP govt. So what kind of analysis is this strange professor making..?? Ghana deserves better not from such bogus so-called Professors

What do you mean by a 9.4. % economy? Were you referring to growth? Come again. You didn’t make sense. Economics may not be your cup of tea.

No difference because the fundamentals are the same. We are still running Guggisberg economy. We export raw materials. Any government that will fundamentally, re-structure the economy will make it. Focus one Agriculture, all year farming, mechanized farming with market access to farm produce. The youth have to stop criminals' things and produced IT products (similar to titok,fb etc) which the use to make money, pharmaceutical: we have to begin to produce pharmaceutical products ourselves. We need a comprehensive industrial development plan. Maybe the 24 hours economy will solve this but if the mentality is the same nothing will come out of it.

HOW MANY IRREPAIRABLE, SEMI OR FULLY ABANDONED MOTOR VEHICLES WASTE AWAY IN HOMES, ROADWAYS, PUBLIC PARKS, ETC. IT NEEDS ONLY ONE SENSIBLE LAW ON PUBLIC HEALTH TO SEND ALL OF THEM TO SCRAP YARDS AND FOUNDARIES. WE HAVE TO THINK LIKE TRAURE AND HIS COMRADES: WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT POVERTY AS OUT LOT IN THIS LIFE!!!!
