Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
A flagbearer hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen has said Ghana would not have returned to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) if the country had paid attention to his ideas and implemented them in the past.
Speaking at the commencement of his Greater Accra delegates tour in the Ablekuma constituency in Accra, he said the President’s Special Initiatives (PSI), which was introduced under former President John Agyekum Kufuor’s era as one of his ideas that would have been a game changer if it had been fully accepted by Ghanaians.
According to him, “The amount of work I have done for this country, sometimes I even feel ashamed talking about it. In President Kufuor’s era, I was one of the senior ministers in Kufuor’s administration. I brought PSI (The President’s Special Initiatives), and if Ghanaians had listened to me, today Ghana wouldn’t have gone to the IMF.”
The IMF approved a $3bn loan to Ghana after China agreed to a crucial debt restructuring that is vital to resolving Accra’s long-running economic and financial crisis.
