Majority slams Minority, cites economic hardship under Akufo-Addo

The Majority Caucus in Parliament has dismissed recent claims by the Minority, insisting that Ghanaians have not forgotten the severe economic hardships experienced under the previous administration.

In a statement issued on January 26, 2026, and signed by the Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga, it noted that the Minority lacks the moral authority to criticise the current government, given the state in which it left the country.

The Majority recalled that Ghana’s financial system collapsed, with the cedi depreciating at unprecedented levels and inflation soaring to historic highs.

These conditions, it said, significantly eroded household incomes and plunged many families into economic distress.

It further noted in the statement that critical social services deteriorated sharply, with Senior High Schools frequently unable to resume academic activities due to the lack of funds for feeding.

“The Ghanaian people lived through one of the most difficult economic periods in our history, and no amount of political spin can erase that reality,” the statement noted.

The Majority said it will continue to remind the public of these challenges, stressing that Parliament must remain grounded in facts rather than selective memory when national issues are debated.
