Former Vice President Kwesi Bekoe Amissah-Arthur has described President Akufo-Addo’s state of the nation address delivered in Parliament Tuesday as one that contained nothing, but a list of problems.
Nana Akufo-Addo in his address cautioned Ghanaians to get ready for tough times as his government works to revive the weak economy he inherited from the previous NDC administration led by former President John Mahama.
He also disclosed that his predecessor had left a heavily indebted power sector which threatens sustainable power supply.
“The attempts by the previous government to resolve the dumsor crisis have led to a gargantuan debt overhang in the sector…we have inherited a heavily indebted energy sector, with the net debt reaching 2.4 billion US dollars as at December 2016.
“I have to point out the alarming fact that 800 million US dollars of this debt is owed to local banks, which threatens their stability. Huge indebtedness of the energy sector constitutes the single major hurdle to Ghanaians enjoying reliable and affordable electricity supply,” the President said.
Reacting to the address Mr. Amissah–Arthur told Starr News the President has a lot to learn, if he is to achieve anything.
“It was quite good and a statement of the problems that the country faced, I’m not sure whether he told us how he was going to solve them because he stated many problems and I don’t get the sense of where the direction he wants to go”.

His Excellency, Paa Kwasi Amissah, Ex-VP of the Republic of Ghana, please be a little bit cautious about your pronouncements now that you are a Statesman. You were the 2nd gentleman of the land over the past 6 years. You did your best but Ghanaians decided to kick you out and go for the NPP because you were the head of the economic management team but we saw incompetence, corruption, lies and "dead goatism". Your intentions to mislead us to vote for the NDC government only remained a dream. Please, I plead that you leave the current President and Commander in Chief of the Ghana Armed Forces, as the former President made us to understand, alone. We wanted change and thank God that Ghana now has a LEADER so Mr Ex-Vice President stop wasting our ears and leave these kind of serial caller talk to the ***barred word*** grassroots, please.
