NDC won’t change Ghana’s fortunes – Prof Agyemang-Duah explains

Respected Governance Expert Professor Baffuor Agyeman-Duah has argued that if the National Democratic Congress (NDC), it will be unable to make significant changes to the economic situation of Ghana since the new Government will be constrained by what the current Government has done.

He noted that while Ghana has been successful with peaceful change of Governments, its democracy is not yielding the desired dividends for the citizenry.

He explained that notwithstanding the best intentions of the NDC, if it wins the 2024 General Elections, the NDC Government will have to complete the current bailout programme with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) with all the strings attached.

“NDC taking over the government will not change much. They are not going to change anything because Ghana is already overburdened with debts. The youth are very agitated. But of course, somebody has to win, and the people of Ghana will decide,” he said on TV 3’s current affairs show, The Keypoints on Saturday, August 10, 2024.

He lamented that the youth of the country are despondent and hopeless due to the bad governments they have endured. He blamed the political class for failing to govern the country well for the benefit of all.

But his assertions were swiftly rejected by the Director of Legal Affairs of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Godwin Edudzi Tameklo:

 “I disagree with Prof.  Unless Prof is saying we should continue with what we have now, he can’t say that. His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, with his experience from governance, is better placed under the circumstance to lead this country to where we want to go,” he asserted.
