President John Mahama has touted his administration’s management of the economy.
According to him due to governments good economic policies, the Ghanaian currency, the cedi, has become one of the best performing currencies in Africa.
Speaking at the launch of the Atiwa East and West Campaign in Ayinam in the Eastern Region, President Mahama said his track-record in managing the economy clearly shows he is a better option for Ghanaians in this election.
He called on the electorates not to buy into what he called, negative propaganda by his political opponents who prefer to preach doom about the economy.
“When I came to power there were three major problems, the first was the economy, it was unstable. Besides that was the power crisis and the third one was our social economic infrastructure which has to do with roads and schools, and for the last three years my attention has been on these three things. God has been good to us.”
“I am not saying that our economy is out of the woods but this year the Cedi that was depreciating is not the best performing currency in the whole of Africa. With regards to the power crisis, I could have blamed others for that but the crisis is because Ghana’s economy is growing,” he added.

I thought everything Prof Mills did was unprecedented. Now are you admitting that you guys lied to us about the performance of the late President? For JM to say that the economy was not stable when he took over is just unthinkable.
It is??? Then all ther African countries have a very big problem.
Mr President, stop such silllly statements. You are happy to celebrate mediocrity?
WHEN A PRESIDENT GROSSLY ENGAUGED THE SERVICES INCOMPETENT MINISTERS AS HE HIMSELF IS ONE, HE (MAHAMA) BECOMES THE ONE TO SING AND DANCE TO HIS (MAHAMA) OWN SONG. MR MAHAMA , DID YOU ACTUALLY GAVE JOB DESCRIPTIONS TO YOUR APPOINTEES? AND WHAT DID TELL SETH TERKPER AS WELL AS YOUR ECONOMIC TEAM TO DO?, IT'S A SHAME TO SEE GHANA PRESIDENT SINGING AND DANCING TO HIS OWN MUSIC. DESPARATION
