Nana Akosua Frimponmaa Sarpong Kumankumah, the Convention People\u2019s Party (CPP) presidential candidate, has launched a scathing critique of the Akufo-Addo administration\u2019s handling of Ghana\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n
She pointed out that the prices of basic goods and services have skyrocketed, using the example of a single finger of local bananas now costing GHC2.<\/p>\n
She indicated that this stark illustration highlights ordinary Ghanaians\u2019 struggles in making ends meet.<\/p>\n
In her criticism, Nana Akosua differentiated the CPP\u2019s economic vision from the current government, emphasizing the need for economic reform.<\/p>\n
Nana Akosua positioned the CPP as a viable alternative for Ghanaians seeking change in the 2024 elections.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll you have to do is look around you, look at your life and where you are. Everything, access to, I can\u2019t even say it, it\u2019s surprising. Have you been to the market of late? Have you tried buying even ordinary bananas on the streets? One finger of the local banana is GHC2. The point is that everything is wrong. The economy, economy that is all it is,\u201d She said.<\/p>\n
When asked how she intends to solve the ailing economy, she\u00a0outlined her plan to tackle Ghana\u2019s economic woes by focusing on the micro economy.<\/p>\n
She emphasized that while Ghana\u2019s performance indicators may impress the international community, they don\u2019t accurately reflect the daily struggles of its citizens.<\/p>\n
To address this disparity, Kumankumah pledged to implement policies that directly benefit ordinary Ghanaians, such as affordable housing and access to potable water.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s simple, it\u2019s not rocket science. It\u2019s nothing that you really need. I will be talking about the micro because the macro is what they have been using to deceive us all this time. They come in there, take our GDP and manage it properly and they say oh it\u2019s good governance. Then they tell you whatever is going up is good [inflation].<\/p>\n
\u201cMeanwhile, the micro economy which is the problem is what I\u2019m going to fix. Unlike other parts of the world that say that Ghana is doing well based on indicators, we don\u2019t eat indicators. We\u2019re talking about our living standards, what we do today, access to accommodation, how much am I paying for electricity. How much is your transport in comparison with your salary?\u201d<\/p>\n
The Convention People\u2019s Party presidential candidate vowed to stabilize the Ghanaian cedi if elected.<\/p>\n
She urged citizens to reject the incumbent New Patriotic Party government and vote overwhelmingly for her in the upcoming December polls.<\/p>\n
