The Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party, Richard Ahiagbah, has criticised the current Mahama administration over its handling of Ghana’s economy, arguing that recent financial outcomes show a gap between campaign promises and actual performance.
Speaking on the state of the economy and financial management of the Bank of Ghana on the KeyPoints with Alfred Ocansey, Mr. Ahiagbah said the government promised better economic management but has instead delivered what he described as worsening fiscal conditions.
He pointed to what he believes are rising debt figures linked to the central bank’s operations, arguing that the numbers show deterioration rather than improvement.
“You said you could manage the economy better, but what we are seeing is a backward movement,” he said.
Mr. Ahiagbah referenced previous figures from the Bank of Ghana’s financial position, comparing what he described as lower losses in earlier years to higher figures in 2025, which he argued indicates poor management outcomes.
He maintained that regardless of technical explanations offered, the public should focus on delivery against promises.
“If what you promised is not what you have delivered, then you have failed,” he said on May 9.
