Dennis Miracles Aboagye, spokesperson of former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has cautioned against selective use of data to justify political narratives.
He says wrong use of data to score political points does not help anyone.
Speaking on the KeyPoints on TV3 Saturday April 11, in relation to the Middle East crisis and the action taken by government to cushion Ghanaians he said, “Data can be used conveniently to make any argument. That is why we must be careful how we use it.”
Highlighting the real-life impact of rising fuel prices, he warned that industries and households are already feeling the pressure.
“Go out there. Industries are struggling. When fuel prices go up, it affects production and eventually the consumer.”
He added that without urgent intervention, the situation could worsen.
“If we don’t bring fuel prices under control, people will struggle, industries will collapse, and jobs will be lost.”
Mr. Aboagye welcomed government’s intention to intervene but said clarity is still lacking.
“We know government will intervene, but we don’t yet know how impactful or significant that intervention will be.”
He urged authorities to act quickly and transparently to provide relief.
