A member of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Upper East Regional Communication Team and a leading contender for the now-electable Communications Director position, Dr. Samuel Akonga, says part of Ghana’s recent economic stability, including easing inflation and a relatively stable cedi, can be attributed to “dynamic and resilient” policies implemented by the previous NPP government led by Nana Akufo-Addo.
He noted that favourable global economic trends have also contributed but argued that the current National Democratic Congress (NDC) government cannot be credited with any specific bold policies driving the current gains.
Dr. Akonga made the remarks on A1 Radio’s Day Break Upper East Show on Tuesday, January 27, 2026.
“Yes, the cedi has been stable, but it is important for Ghanaians to understand that not everything happening now can be attributed to the work of the NDC. Bear in mind, we put in place certain dynamic policies that were resilient enough,” he told host Seidu Mutawakil.
He maintained that policies introduced under the previous administration were designed to produce medium- to long-term economic benefits, some of which are now being realised.
“In the future, those benefits will continue to manifest — that is what we are seeing today,” he stressed.
Dr. Akonga insisted that the current economic improvements should not be credited to the NDC, challenging critics to identify any new policy by the present government that has directly stabilised the economy.
“Can you point to any policy under this government that has helped the economy stabilise? You cannot mention any, unless it is the policies we put in place,” he said.
