The Majority Leader noted that the government’s prompt action on social and economic relief measures played a crucial role in stabilizing the economy.
“Despite navigating through the devastating economic storm that crippled the national economy, affecting countless businesses, families, and individuals, Ghana’s ship of state has not only weathered the storm but has also emerged stronger. Under President Akufo-Addo’s stewardship, Ghana has implemented strategic policies and measures that cushioned the blow of the pandemic’s impact, fostering economic recovery, and maintaining social cohesion.
“The government’s proactive and innovative approaches, including the swift implementation of social interventions and economic relief programs, have been instrumental in stabilizing the economy and safeguarding the livelihoods of Ghanaians.”
He further remarked that Ghana has demonstrated to the world the art of overcoming economic challenges through sacrifice under the President’s guidance.
“Under President Nana Akufo-Addo’s stewardship, we’ve shown the world what it means to navigate through economic storms with sacrifice, courage and unwavering determination. Leadership is the compass that guides us toward sustainable development, ensuring stability and uplifting the lives of our citizens,” he stated.
