Audio: Deputy Finance Minister Defends Akufo-Addo’s “Yɛte Sika So” Comment

The deputy minister of finance and the Member of Parliament for Ejisu Constituency, Hon. John Ampontuah Kumah has defended President Nana Akuffo Addo’s “Yɛte Sika So” comment saying that it’s true.

According to him, the President has been able to live up to the claim by implementing programs like free SHS, year of roads and others to show that indeed the country is rich.

Comparing the Akuffo Addo government with that of former President John Mahama , he said that the current administration of the NPP has done better by being able to run most developmental programs since the NDC could not run the Free SHS policy and cancelled a lot of such programs like teachers allowances, health workers allowances among others.

John Kumah who was speaking in an interview with Hello  FM’s morning show, cited that the government’s educational initiatives and programs aimed towards making education from basic level to tertiary level free will be a game changer for the nation’s development.

The deputy minister of finance stressed that no country is self reliant and that defines Ghana’s situation now.

He admitted that although some Ghanaians are facing a hard time with the economy, the country is endowed with resources enough which can sustain it if managed well.
