Methodist Bishop blasts Mahama: Says Administration is Insensitive and Dull
The Methodist Bishop of Obuasi Diocese, Rt. Rev. Stephen
Bosomtwe Ayensu has described the John Mahama administration as insensitive and
dull in its approach to resolving the current economic of hardship the country
is experiencing.
According to him, the government has not adhered to all
concerns raised by citizenry as it continues to impoverish the citizens with
harsh economic decisions.
The economy is still reeling under challenges compelling
various economic indicators to stagnate and cost of living to all time high.
The various international credit ratings have downgraded the
credit reputability of Ghana. The recently released Association of Ghana
Industries' (AGI) Business Barometer Report reveals that confidence in
Ghana's economy has hit its lowest since 2012. This revelation is contained in
the AGI's Business Barometer Report for the fourth quarter of last year.
The decline, according to the report, is based on concerns
by Ghanaian businesses that the business environment is not conducive, with no
signs of improving any time soon. Also, access to credit came up as the major
hurdle facing businesses, while high utility tariffs and cost of credit stood
out as the second and third challenges.
Speaking Thursday on Adom Fm’s Morning Show, "Dwaso Nsεm",
Rev Bosomtwe Ayensu bemoaned the lukewarm attitude of the government in
handling the state of the economy.
He noted that Ghanaians have been saddled with high cost of
living as a result of the poor management of the economy and certain decisions
taken by the government. He criticised government for 'giving freebies' all in
the name of paying judgment debt but goes to borrow at a high cost to the
nation.
