President John Mahama has accused the previous government under Nana Akufo-Addo of mishandling the country’s affairs, claiming it managed the economy criminally.
"We all knew the economy was in crisis, but some of the things I am uncovering myself have been a criminal mishandling of our economy. Ghana is now a crime scene," he said.
“How can a government be so reckless? I cannot understand,” he added.
The President said this during the National Tripartite Committee meeting at the Ministry of Labour, Jobs, and Employment, where the government announced a 10% increase in base pay for public sector workers, effective from January.
