The first Deputy Speaker of Parliament and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Legislator for Avenor-Ave constituency in the Volta Region, Hon. Edward Doe Adjaho, has advised Ghanaians never to lose faith in the administration of President John Evans Atta Mills.
He conceded that the government�s move to fix the numerous social and economic problems facing the nation �appears rather slow,� but said President Mills� administration �is more than equal to the task of effectively turning Ghana�s economic fortunes around.�
Speaking a the opening of the Ordinary Session of the Akatsi District Assembly, at Akatsi recently, the first Deputy Speaker said things would have been different if the NPP administration had left the economy in good shape.
According to him, the NDC government inherited �a very difficult and challenged economy of over 14% of GDP,� with rising inflation and a depreciating cedi, and the NDC government had to move in �swiftly� to raise some facilities from the World Bank and the IMF, which had been approved by parliament to stabilize the macro economic environment.
The Avenor-Ave Legislator said: �I am raising these matters not as an alibi or an excuse, but to inform you, as the representative of our people in the District, and to let you know why things appear to be slow. I therefore, urged you to keep faith with the President and his government because I believe that given the modesty of his leadership, coupled with his honesty and humility, he will deliver, even in the face of these challenges.�
