Government spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu stated that Ghanaians are experiencing economic stability. He countered claims by Nana Akomea, Chairman of the NPP Select Committee on Communications. Mr. Kwakye Ofosu argued that remarks suggesting Ghanaians do not benefit from economic stability are politically motivated. He highlighted current economic conditions as evidence of improvement.
Nana Akomea had previously stated that "nobody, no electorate eats stability." He also said, "No electorate eats inflation." He acknowledged that macroeconomic stability and low inflation figures are good. However, he stressed this is different from the cost of living. Mr. Kwakye Ofosu insisted criticism must be based on facts and logical analysis. He accused the opposition of disregarding genuine improvements.
The current administration has reversed several negative economic trends. This includes exchange rate stability and declining fuel prices. Reduced transport fares also show ordinary Ghanaians are experiencing relief. In 2025, fuel prices ranged between GHS 20 and GHS 23 per litre. Today, the same fuel costs about GHS 15 per litre. This occurred despite fluctuations in global crude oil prices. This indicates a significant saving for the average person. This contrasts with the economic situation inherited by the current government.
Mr. Kwakye Ofosu described Nana Akomea's comments as mere politicking. He said this criticism is not backed by substance. The spokesperson challenged the opposition's narrative. He stated that no one in Ghana can credibly argue the current economy is worse than the one inherited. The government maintains that its policies have led to tangible economic benefits for the populace.
The administration aims to continue its economic recovery efforts. Citizens are likely to see further benefits if these positive trends persist. Policymakers will monitor closely the impact of these measures. Continued stability could influence voter sentiment and economic confidence. The debate highlights broad disagreements on economic performance assessment.
