Touching on a couple of issues on Joynews Editorial, the ace broadcaster entreated officials of this government to be truthful and avoid the back and forth with issues.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/75423a82061e4313ac51d35d135d1617\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/766de93abc244357807f08915047032c\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Firstly, she cited the road tolls which were canceled by the government and announced by the finance minister in Parliament. Minority leader Haruna Iddrisu forewarned that there is nowhere in the world whereby cars are not tolled but they refused to listen. Subsequently,\u00a0\u00a0they reverted to tolling new roads.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, top politicians of this administration openly declared that the economy was solid and the government wouldn&#8217;t dare seek any financial assistance from the International Monetary Fund. They had to swallow their pride and engage the foreign  for a bailout.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/6de64ea4d6bd484e90c571a005c69d6e\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/5c885e10b8f14b6298fa17bafba0935c\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Finally, the finance minister who wears white and loves to quote the Bible all the time denied vehemently that the free senior high school is under review. This was after a top official revealed on Joynews that the policy was subject to review. Fast forward, he has admitted that &#8220;reviewing is always on the table.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The journalist concluded that this assertion shows that this is &#8220;a try and error government&#8221; which must be truthful to Ghanaians.
