Cedi gaining, fuel prices coming down; the govt is working – Owusu-Bempah

The Akufo-Addo administration is working around the clock to ameliorate the economic conditions Ghanaians are saddled with at the moment, a Deputy Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Ernest Owusu-Bempah has said.

He noted that the efforts of the government have resulted in the Cedi gaining against the Dollar and drop in fuel prices.

Addressing the press in Accra on Friday December 9, to react to the lost censure motion that was filed by the Minority for the removal of the Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, Mr Owusu-Bempah said the government acknowledges the economic challenges Ghanaians are going through.

“The defeat of the censure in Parliament by the Minority is a signal of the defeat in 2024 by the NDC,” he said.

He added “They will will do all they can to run down this government, they will do anything within their power to convince Ghanaians with their vile propaganda but the people of Ghana will reject them in 2024 elections.

“This is a sign written on the wall, telling the entire nation. Right now the Cedi is doing well against the Dollar, petrol prices are coming down at the pump, economic conditions are moving on despite all the global hardships and everything going on. It means that the Akufo-Addo government is working.

“We are a listening government, we believe in the people of Ghana who gave us the mandate and we are going to work. Come 2024 Insah Allah, we will break the 8.”

The motion of censure filed by the Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu, and seconded by the Minority Chief Whip, Muntaka Mubarak Mohammed, seeking the removal of the Minister of Finance was lost.
