In a related development, Tolon MP, Habib Iddrisu, says Ghanaians will applaud the Presidentâs upcoming address on the economy on Sunday, October 30.
According to him, the address will touch on relevant measures to salvage the countryâs ailing economy.
Speaking in an interview on NewsFile on Saturday, the Second Deputy Majority Chief Whip said he is hopeful that Ghanaians will welcome the Presidentâs speech despite the widespread public agitations about the state of the economy.
âI expect a general overview and measures that the President will put in place. And Iâm very confident. I know that tomorrow after the President finishes delivering his speech, people will clap their hands and say that âyesâ, thereâs hope and we have a lot to doâ, the MP noted.
President Nana Akufo-Addo will today, Sunday, October 30 address the nation on the economic challenges facing the country and its people.
The President made this known in a Facebook post on Thursday.
The address is scheduled for 8:00 pm, and will be telecast on âGTV and on major television networks across the countryâ, the post said.
The address by the President comes in the wake of recent public agitations about the ailing economy.
At the moment, Ghanaâs economy is reeling under pressure; a situation which has led to an increase in the cost of living as well as what some have described as a âgalloping inflationâ.
The countryâs local currency is also battling a fluctuation against the US dollar and other major trading currencies across the globe.
Coupled with graduate unemployment and the general hardship in the system, many Ghanaians have subsequently bemoaned the situation and called on government to speedily resolve the crisis.
For some, the Presidentâs upcoming address, therefore, comes as a welcome relief amidst the prevailing challenges.
Meanwhile, government says it is working to put the economy on a better footing.
