Spokesperson of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and Technical Advisor, Dr. Gideon Boako says Ghanaians should not be despondent over the current situation of Ghana's economy.
According to Dr. Gideion Boako, although the nation is experiencing lots of challenges, it is however not at the verge of collapse.
Speaking on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', the Veep Spokesperson assured the citizenry saying, "despite the difficulties, the government has never defaulted on salary payments. Despite the difficulties, there is no policy that the government introduced that it says 'I'm turning back on the policy', maybe like Free SHS or anything . . . and I think that is the assurance that this government has offered to the Ghanaian people that it doesn't matter the difficulties, we are still managing the situations".
He asked Ghanaians not to despair stating their condition is far better than other countries.
"Today, every Ghanaian knows that yes, there are challenges but at least he/she gets electricity when he/she goes home. Yes, there are challenges but they don't queue before they buy fuel because it is so disheartening that you have money but can't get fuel. It will be a problem . . . Although there are challenges, I think God has been good to us that, in Ghana, we are not seeing the economic challenges like hunger strike and so forth here.
"Yes, prices of goods have gone up in the market. Prices of plantain, kenkey, cassava are expensive but the good thing is that the one looking for plantain or cassava gets some and I think that is something good. The fact that there is food availability, then we work towards reducing the prices and making sure that the situation won't deteriorate that a person with money can't buy what he/she must eat. So, there are still [you know] rooms for improvement but I considerably think that things are not so bad," he emphasized.
Dr. Boako added that the government is on track to ensuring a sound recovery of the economy.
"We admit the challenges but we know we are equally capable of facing the challenges," he stated.

Good for ***barred word*** black face like you to tell this story from the office of that Walewale lair to Ghanaians MayGod deal with the se corrupt ***barred word*** like your ***barred word***
This are the sort of people who should be communicating for government, he sounds humble and truthful in his submissions, i.e. We agree times are hard but we are working to restore the economy to ease the suffering of the people. Well said, however Dr Baah should know that less than a million people are on government payroll as public sector workers out of a population of over 30 million. So the fact that you have not failed in a payment of salaries despite the economic difficulties is not enough. What about those outside the public sector? Infact Ghanaians are actually suffering, i know people who used their own cars/ pickups, fueled them from their pockets to support the NPP during the 2016/ 2020 campaign. Today some of them have parked their cars and now walk or ride bicycles or motorbikes, so did they go or did they come? To add insult to injury some of them used all their savings to execute contracts awarded them thinking they will be paid as soon as the contracts are completed and handed over, 3 years down the line majority of them haven't been paid so you see hitherto well to do NPP die hards walking and talking to themselves, it's very pathetic that the party you so much love and worked tirelessly to campaign and vote for to bring it to power has turned out to be a nightmare. If nothing changes for the better in 2023, forget breaking any 8, because the people who will do the dirty work for the 8 to be broken may not even vote because they feel let down by Akuffo addo and his appointees, you need to conduct a research on the thoughts of NPP faithful when it comes to relationships with the appointees, their responses will tell you some appointees cannot even look at the party supporters in their face let alone talking to them to make sacrifices again.
