Manager of GHOne TV, Nana Aba Anamoah has told a Member of Parliament to respect the intelligence of citizens in seeking to justify a recent decision of government to seek assistance from the International Monetary Fund, IMF, amid an economic downturn.<\/p>\n
Frank Annoh-Dompreh, who is MP for Adoagyiri Nsawam on July 2, 2022; posted a series of tweets relating to how countries have approached the IMF for support.<\/p>\n
He specifically referenced a CNN article of 2020 titled: “IMF says half of the world has asked for a bailout,” his caption read: “Half of the world is asking for assistance from the IMF, this is not peculiar to just Ghana. Interesting read\u2026 !”<\/p>\n
His post is in line with the official government narrative that the economic hurdles the country is grappling with is as a result of twin crises of COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war.<\/p>\n
Nana Aba Anamoah was part of the many people who reacted to the post either in comments or by sharing their views by retweeting the post.<\/p>\n
Her response read: “You\u2019re posting an April 2020 story in July 2022 to justify a decision that\u2019s caught the ire of Ghanaians?<\/p>\n
“Here are 2 things you should do; (1) Respect the intelligence of Ghanaians. (2) Repeat 1.<\/p>\n
The MP, who is also Majority Chief Whip responded: “I am not’ justifying’ the decision, far from that, I am telling you that the situation is certainly global and we have to appreciate it better from that point of view..<\/p>\n
“The global aspect cannot and should not be discounted, regardless..”<\/p>\n
