Former MP Eugene Boakye Antwi shares a sobering perspective on Ghana's political landscape in 2025. He claims that the year has been particularly challenging for the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) due to a recent change in government. But here's where it gets controversial—Antwi suggests that it's unfair to judge any government in its first or second year, citing his experience as a former deputy minister.
The video, shared on social media, reveals Antwi's belief that the current government's direction will become clearer by 2026. He attributes the country's dependence on IMF support as a limiting factor for the government's resources. And this is the part most people miss—while praising the government for stabilizing the cedi, he hints at a potential artificiality in the dollar's stability, questioning the underlying policies.
Antwi commends the government's efforts to stabilize the dollar, aiding importers with planning. Yet, he raises concerns about the billions owed to contractors and stakeholders, predicting that the true economic strength and cedi stability will be revealed once these arrears are paid.
Is Antwi's perspective a fair assessment, or is he being overly critical? Should governments be given more time to prove their policies? Share your thoughts below!
