Former Deputy Finance Minister, Fifi Kwetey has stated that any government that still blames its predecessors for problems bedevilling the country is irresponsible and that is what the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is.
Speaking with Citi TV/FM‘s The Big Issue monitored by MyNewsGh.com, Fifi Kwetey said, any group that almost into their fourth year continues to still talk about the mess they inherited is a group that first and foremost shows great irresponsibility and a group that clearly does not want to tell the truth.
“Any group that almost into their fourth year continues to still talk about the mess they inherited is a group that first and foremost shows great irresponsibility and a group that clearly does not want to tell the truth. We are talking about our friends who inherited an economy and that economy, at the time they inherited, had gross international reserves of 6.2 billion dollars – you call that a mess,” he said.
Mr Kwetey however, dismissed claims that the economy was struggling under the previous government.
“Let me begin by saying that credibility is the foundation for building all things. It is a solid foundation and without it whatever you build can crumble. Unfortunately, we are dealing with the government that lacks the most credibility in the history of Ghana. The NPP government and especially the Nana Akufo Addo government is the government that lacks the most credibility as far as the history of this country is concerned. What it means, therefore, is that what it is that they claim they are building is obviously a building that is being established on the sand,” he added.
