Dr Edward Mahama, a former ambassador-at-large has said that the government performed well in managing and running the economy despite global challenges.
Talking to Kwaku Nhyira-Addo on The Asaase Breakfast Show on Wednesday (18 May), Mahama said despite the remarkable achievement, there is still room for improvement.
“I won’t say to my satisfaction, but they have done well, because as I said 2019 the growth rate was fine, then COVID came, and COVID knocked off not only Ghana but the whole world,” he said.
“There is no doubt that there are economic challenges being felt by citizens in our country; there is no doubt about this.
“And as I said if you take even the last Auditor Report , 2021 that I was talking about, that was under the supervision of the government and obviously Ghana can do well,” Mahama added.
COVID management
The former PNC flagbearer, who doubles as a medical practitioner, also commended the government for managing the COVID-19 pandemic well.
“I think we did very well, the President and his men did very well. We didn’t have the number of deaths that they were saying we will have, and we got it almost under control …so far as the COVID management is concerned, I think the government has done very well,” Mahama added.
