Ghana�s Economy Facing Challenges - Koku Anyidoho

Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho has conceded that Ghana’s economy is indeed facing challenges.

According to him, “Ghanaians are gnashing their teeth because there are serious challenges and President Mahama has not run away from it”. Mr. Anyidoho was reacting to a survey conducted by the Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) conducted from a sample size of 2,400 adult Ghanaians cutting across 163 districts and 291 towns and villages.

The report which covered the period of July 2 to 18 said, at least 70 percent of Ghanaians believe the economy of the country is heading in the wrong direction. It also revealed that, Ghanaians did not mince words when they suggested government’s handling of issues such as unemployment, electricity, and education is not encouraging.

In response, Koku Anyidoho on Asempa FM Tuesday said, the survey will not have any impact on government because President Mahama has been “honest and candid with the mandate”.

He indicated that, though they have severed ties with the CDD, government will work assiduously to bring respite to Ghanaians.

Ghanaians are looking for at leadership and President Mahama is up to the task, Anyidoho added.
