Speaking in a Press Conference in Accra, Mr Alhassan said, Dr. Bawumia, Chairman of the Economic Management team; Mr Ofori-Atta and Dr. Addison,have woefully failed to deliver.
He said, the much-more printing of CEDIS by the administration has reduced it to a worthless and pathetic paper to the worst performing currency.
He also mentioned that the rising-runaway inflation, high debt, soaring food prices and high fuel charge is worsened with high cost of living due to bad governance.
He further stated that due to bad governance, Ghana has succumbed to IMF for bailout, whilst none of its neighboring African countries (Except Zambia) have gone for the regressive IMF relief ,which he described as; "WORSE THAN KUMIPREKO".
"The incompetent action for the much-trumpeted economic management team has brought an on-going chaos in the market. Leading to on-going price hike, profiteering, black-marketing and other trade malpractices far worse than the era of Kumipreko in Ghana, which the current President, Nana Akufu Addo led against in the early 9Os", he lamented .
"To this end, The New Ghana is calling for the above individuals to relinquish their public positions with immediate effect, by releasing their resignation letters now. Posterity would judge the above names should they stubbornly hang on to the positions",he said.
