President John Dramani Mahama has delivered a grim assessment of Ghana’s current state, declaring that the country is in crisis.
Presenting his first State of the Nation Address of his second term to Parliament on Thursday, February 27, Mahama did not mince words about the gravity of the situation.
“I am sad to report that the state of our nation is not good,” he stated, highlighting the severe economic crisis and the unprecedented hardships faced by Ghanaians.
The president emphasized that the upcoming National Economic Dialogue, scheduled for March 3rd and 4th, along with the Finance Minister’s budget presentation on March 11th, will provide a detailed overview of the nation’s economic challenges and outline possible solutions.
Despite the difficulties, Mahama reaffirmed his commitment to addressing the crisis head-on, reflecting the mandate given to him by the people.
“Mr. Speaker, it is not my style to lament and shift blame when confronted with challenges,” he asserted. “I have therefore not come here to lament on the state of our country, though there is much to lament about.”
