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”.

First off your wife refused to accompany you to SONA! Second, when the speaker introduced distinguished guests, he forgot you and had to be reminded 'and former vice presidents' to which he said 'WHICH ONE!?' because you were more or less a nonentity. Now to your above statement, I think nana addressed it already: this is not a budget reading! But hey, ndc people don't read so....
Look who is talkiing what do you know veep. Please take a back seat ook
Amissah Arthur what economics do you know to criticise the SONA. Dont disgrace yourself. Keep your mouth shut.

I think you are still suffering from you massive lost hence can't find the direction that man want to go . . . And warning to you P.K: before you wanna say anything, we still demand answers to the question Dr Bawumia asked u before you lost . . .
You are part of the problem building a factory without sugar cane. We could have a least created some jobs for farmers and reduced sugar import bill
DEAD MAN'S SONA
Uncle Paa Kwesi, I beg you, when people are talking, don't 'say some wai? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! Anokwale Po!! You slept at the wheel for 6 years as VP, with your mouth drooling with saliva.
Parliament and the speaker almost forgot you were there. After speaker recognized the presence of former presidents, current vice presidents , judiciary etc. The speaker could not notice you amissah Arthur until someone drew his attention to it. In fact speaker could not even mention your full name but said amissah. Mr Amissah Arthur, you are currently irrelevant. We heard nana. His speech contains more than we needed. This speech contains hope and deliverables.
This man should just keep quite and f.cuk offff!!! SHAME ON NDC AND THEIR ***barred word*** LEADERS!!
See who is talking. So you know how to talk and yet the 170 questions Bawumia asked you, you had no clue as to how to answer them. Please just keep quite and stop displaying your ignorance
