Mr. President. Russia and Ukraine war wasn't a factor in the previous administration economy woes as you Mr president said.
Please stop using Israel and Iran war as a yard stick of shielding your administration of non performance. It's just incompetence your administration lacks.

What a hypocrite. JDM and ndc lied to wind the 2024 elections. When Trump's trade war ends, global economy picks up and oil prices rises, then we can tell how the cedi and the Ghanaian economy is managed.

NPP supporters read but they don't understand what they read and they are in hurry to comment. The president was sensible and he don't want to give a dog a chance. And he won't sit down for things to escalate before taken action. That's why he instructed his energy minister to take possible actions before he blame the energy issue on Israel-Iran conflict. Yes, that's difference between him and Akufo Addo.

I know it is only the NPP who didn't listen to the President's full speech to understand. The president was emphatic that global challenges don't warrant any party or President to hide behind it and make excuses for incompetences. The NPP in government told Ghanaians that one of the reasons the Economy was not thriving was COVID-19, Russia-Ukraine war. Later, when they came to opposition the NPP again said, although the Russia-Ukraine war has not ended, the dollar is performing because of Dr. Bawumia's Gold-for-Oil program, which per Bank of Ghana's report made huge losses leading to its withdrawal from the initiative. Specifically, the BoG reported a GH¢1.82 billion loss in 2024, on top of a GH¢317 million loss in 2023, totaling GH¢2.137 billion in losses over two years. Then came the Donald Trump's USA-China Trade War, however, they failed to understand president Trump initiated this trade war in 2018 during his first term.Later, Afenyo Markins said government has refused to service its debts by paying contractors and there is inadequate liquity flow in the system. Lastly, I listened to Dr. Henry Kwabena Kokufo, who claimed that speculative buying(hoarding) of the dollars by some businessmen who have now released the dollars because there is a change in government and BRICS member countries have stopped trading in dollars. The president is being charitable to the NPP the excuses are too much and sometimes don't add up. In fact, they are lies not excuses

It is a fact that the Russian Special Military Operation did not affect the production of crude oil and gas around the globe, nor has it increase the price of fossil fuels.
On grain that NPP government said was affected it has been proved that Ghana does not buy grain from Ukraine.
Rather Ghana refused to accept the free grain and fertilizer that Russia donated to some African countries.

There's a world of difference between Ukraine and Russia war a Israel and Iran war. The difference being that we did not rely on the two countries directly ( Ukraine and Russia) as against Israel and Iran war because all Ghana's crude oil imports from the Arab world and no country can survive without oil. So you NPP fanatics can not fault H. E John Mahama about Israel and Iran war.

JDM said he has asked finance and energy ministers to monitor what and do what ? Hahaha, let the president himself, all ministers and appointees collectively do the monitoring and I can bet with my last 10gh that they can't do 'foko' to the situation. Yes Iran is an oil producing country so if the war intensifies, fuel prices will rise and if prices rise what can Ghana do ? Absolutely nothing, because Ghana cannot stockpile oil that can last for at least 3 or 5 years. Just consider the number of years Russia and Ukraine war has gone on and still on going. Ghana doesn't have what it takes to go around the situation. So please I see your utterance as though you are campaigning to receive applause

Those blaming Mahama for the comment he made are simply Chew-pour-Pass and forget literate. They simply do not understand anything. JM, continue to be proactive in managing Ghanan's economy.

I can see that a lot of these NPP guys don't understand basic English. Directing sector ministers to closely monitor and safeguard oil prices from external shocks is called proactive leadership.

Daabi da. NPP.

Every intelligent Ghanaian knows that our economy is heavily dependent on external factors. That the NPP govt was performing extraordinary well until covid stroke. That, the govt had to grapple with paying workers while they stayed at home, some such as teachers for nearly one year. That, the devastating impact of the covid threw our economy into nose dive. And yet lambasted the govt for failure and voted the liars into power. So no problem if JM is continuing to lie
