Lawyer Amoh Dartey
Amoh Dartey, a Ghanaian lawyer, has decried the country’s current economic situation.
Ghana is currently confronted with major economic matters, with inflation reaching 41% and food, goods, and services prices oscillating.
As a result, members of both the majority and minority parties in the legislature have demanded President Akufo-Addo to fire Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta for having failed to oversee the country’s economy.
In reaction to the country’s sufferings, some Ghanaians have begun protesting against the NPP government.
Notwithstanding, Amoh Dartey, believes that the country’s economic crisis is a manufactured one.
Lawyer Amoh Dartey stated on MYABC TV’s ‘Bkyer Mu’ Show that “most of Ghana’s economic crisis is imported because we have built our economy in such a way that we always depend on importation.”
He explained that the country is heavily reliant on imported goods, which has contributed to the country’s economic woes.
“If we want clothes, we import from Turkey, Toothpick we import from China, we have shoes in Kumasi but we import from Turkey. Everything in Ghana is imported either from Asia, Europe or America. Even tomatoes we import with billions of dollars. So when the pandemic erupted, the global supply chain shut down and this has affected the nation.”
As per him, Ghana will continue to experience an economic crisis if it continues to depend on imported goods.
