Newly-elected National Women’s Organiser of the main opposition, National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr Hanna Bissiw, has claimed President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has destroyed the buoyant economy he inherited from the Mahama administration.

According to the former Deputy Minister of Food and Agriculture, all sectors of the Ghanaian economy are struggling under the current administration, yet the government has demonstrated little commitment to dealing with those challenges.

Speaking on AccraFM Wednesday, 31 October, Dr. Bissiw lamented; “Joblessness is on the increase; doctors, nurses, teachers, drivers, students, traders are all crying due to the economic hardship they are saddled with at the moment,” 

She added: “The president promised that by the end of the year, every village in northern Ghana will have a dam; what has become of the promise? The year has almost ended and how many of those dams have been built?”

Dr Bissiw further urged Ghanaians to vote for the NDC in the 2020 elections “to enable the party to continue with the good works its started.”
