The Majority in Parliament says the Minority caucus will remain in opposition for a long time, citing the perceived poor performance of the Akufo-Addo government.

The caucus argues that the economic challenges inherited from the previous government are still a concern for Ghanaians, and questions the Minority’s criticism of the current government, which has been in office for two months.

During a debate on President Mahama’s State of the Nation Address, Deputy Majority Leader Kweku Ricketts-Hagan criticised the Akufo-Addo government’s borrowing practices, which he believes contributed to economic hardship.

“From President Nana Akufo-Addo on his state of the nation, the last one was quite laughable that we should make sure we don’t default. A president who has presided over overborrowing, who has unilaterally decided not to pay its debts from 2022, who was not paying any interest, was telling us, was telling president Mahama that he should not default.

“You have found your voices early and you have to take your time. Ghanaians have not forgotten. You will be in opposition for a very long time,” he said.
