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”.

We were a shadow President so you dont know what went on your time. Please, please keep quite over there. For Ghanaians, it contains so many things, period.
After reading the headline, I asked myself that so Nana Akufo-Addo didn't say anything but rather behaved like a toddler who is trying to learn how to talk or what? You did not perform that is why you are now in opposition. So keep quiet and enjoy what you "looted" from the coffers
Oh Paa, so you did not hear the FREE SHS? No wonder you and Mahama left Ghana in this MESS!
What is this ggay man saying...u$eless veep who wasted taxpayers' money.
yes you will not get the sense because you are se-n-se-le-ss that all.
Mr Amissah-Arthur, please you are a respectable man, don't talk like Akua Donkor. If you want to maintain your dignity don't reduce yourself to the level of ordinary dumb NDC foot soldiers. It is not good for your image.
is this statement indeed coming from Amissah Arthur??? your legacy is there for all to see from Bank of Ghana to Veep. It's a shame that you have even lost respect in NDC so have no worries because we prefer a SONA which has nothing in it than a create loot and share government. ghc127 billion debt and we have nothing to show for it as a country. 3% gdp when we have oil. corruption which is now institutionalized is what u left for Ghana. shame on u. in any case now that u have left government, your boy friends are all waiting for you.
