NDC to deliver the ‘True State of the Nation’ address today

Just two weeks after President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo delivered the State of the Nation Address, the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) announced that it will deliver the “True State of the Nation Address” today, Monday, March 20, 2023.

Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, Chairman of the NDC, will deliver the keynote address at the University of Professional Studies Accra (UPSA).

The ‘True State of the Nation Address’ is expected to counter President Akufo-‘State Addo’s of the Nation Address’ on Wednesday, March 8.

The NDC address, which will be delivered under the auspices of the party’s National Communications Bureau, is expected to be heavily focused on the economy and the factors that have pushed the country to seek an IMF bailout.

Meanwhile, the Minority in Parliament claims that, contrary to government claims, Ghana will not be able to secure IMF board approval by the end of March 2023.

According to the opposition group, the government has not been able to meet the financing assurances for the bailout, which include the board documents.

“Mr Speaker, our President said on authority that Ghana would get an IMF Board approval by the end of this month, I don’t know who is briefing our President, but Ghana will not be able to get an IMF Board approval by the end of this month because even the board documents are prepared.

“We need to get China to give Ghana financing assurance and that they are ready to take a haircut and China has not agreed,” Minority Leader, Cassiel Ato Forson said.
