Finance Minister Hails NDC Handling Of Economy

Finance Minister, Seth Terkper is full of praise for the governing National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) handling of the economy, calling it a record Ghanaians can be proud of. 

Mr. Terkper, who was speaking during the final rally of the NDC at the Accra Sports Stadium where he sought to sway the minds of undecided voters, affirmed the Mahama administration's success some 48 hours before the general elections on Wednesday. 

Addressing a massive crowd of NDC supporters, Mr. Terkper assured them that “the government of President John Mahama has a record all of us can be very proud of today. 

"We must be proud of the achievements of our government.” 

Mr. Terkper further recalled how the government faced challenges in office but surmounted them. 

“Our leader took up the challenges and went to every part of this country. We saw schools being built more than any government since the Nkrumah regime. We also saw hospitals being built more that any government since the Nkrumah regime.” 

The NDC government also overcame major economic challenges in 2013 to oversee the growth of the economy accompanied, with reduced borrowing rates, Mr. Terkper stated. 

“Since HIPC was declared, when our opponents had a lot of resources at their disposal, this is the first time that the NDC government has reduced the rate at which we borrow for the country.” 

He took the opportunity to remind Ghanaians that the country’s power crisis had been overcome by the Mahama-led administration making this “the first time since 2012 that we are having an election and “dumsor” has not been mentioned anywhere.”
