On TV3\u2019s The Big Issue, today, Tuesday, January 18, 2022, Johnnie Hughes queried his guests of Alhassan Suhuyini, MP for Tamale North and Dennis Miracles Aboagye about this downgrade of Ghana\u2019s ratings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/dd9bcc2fa0c64c07a94a40f0a15f9dfe\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Suhuyini insisted that the NPP were bequeathed with many investments by the past NDC government. According to Dennis Aboagye, it was untrue to say that the New Patriotic Party inherited massive funds from the John Mahama led opposition National Democratic Congress. Dennis noted that the NPP picked the country from a bad state and is gradually moving the country to a better place. He cited a number of investments in health, education, private sectors, agriculture and many more and alluded that no government has done better than the NPP.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/7d0de853afc14e6388d6919c4779277c\"\/><\/p>\n<p>When Johnnie queried him as to why it has been 5 years and still the country\u2019s economy is still wobbling, Dennis noted that the losses inherited from the erstwhile NDC government was too much and asked for more time to solve the country\u2019s many problems. He alluded the current downgrade ratings to the previous government and said if the government had done its job well things would have been better.\u00a0Johnnie further probed as to when the job will be done, Dennis replied that they will solve the country\u2019s problems by November 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: Still_Unbeatable (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
