Maverick Ghanaian politician, Kennedy Agyapong, is disappointed with the government’s decision to seek support from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The Minister of Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah revealed the plans of the government to have a formal engagement with the IMF following President Akufo-Addo’s authorization.

“The engagement with the IMF will seek to provide balance of payment support as part of a broader effort to quicken Ghana’s build back in the face of challenges induced by the Covid-19 and, recently, the Russia-Ukraine crises,” the statement explained.

Sharing his view on this, Mr Agyapong said the decision will make it difficult for the NPP to retain the presidential seat.

According to him, it is just like NPP handing over power to NDC without a contest.

“It is just like handing over power to NDC without a contest, straight away because the noise we made, and I chew my own words back when I said the NDC went to IMF because of mismanagement of the economy. So if NPP is going to IMF, what am I going to say? So breaking the eight is going to be tough.

“My message to you is simple, you cannot, read my lips and I am not scared of anybody in the party, I will tell you the gospel truth, those who take you to IMF cannot break the 8,” the Assin Central MP stated at an on-going NPP National Constituency Officers Welfare workshop at Koforidua in the Eastern Region on Friday.

A lot of Ghanaians have commented on the move by the government. The MP for Ningo-Prampram, Sam George stated that common sense is finally prevailing.
