Former President John Dramani Mahama says the mere presence of big names in the economic management team of the government is not an antidote to the hardships facing Ghanaians.
He said there is a viral video on social media in which some leaders of the NPP are seen boasting of the depth of experience of its economic management team and mocking that of the former government.
Speaking to delegates of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) at the Wa Campus of the University for Development Studies, Mr Mahama asked whether those big names have solved the prevailing economic problems in the country.
He said, on a comparative basis, the relatively less known members of his government’s economic management team performed very well to solve the economic challenges that faced the country.
"Big names don't manage economies, you don’t need big names to manage economies. Yes nobody knew the names of NDC economic management team but we managed the economy and managed it well", Mahama stressed.
The former President noted that the NPP government, after claiming to have paraded big names in its economic management team are still struggling with the management of the economy, making Ghanaians complain of hardships, with many businesses also collapsing.
He told delegates that the NPP after lying to win political power in 2016 are not able to fulfill their promises to Ghanaians.
Mahama mentioned the one district one factory, one village one dam, one bar of chocolate per school child and providing jobs for all, among many other unfulfilled promises.

Intelligent people do a job is not important , average individuals can do that job.That is ndc for you ,and that has been the cause of our development.We always loose our smart guys to the west because of envy.There is a subtle fact that npp is for the elite and ndc is for the average.But in the West everyone no matter the person level of education want to be among the elite, specialist, consultant be it academic , professional or any aspect of the job market,people work hard to achieve this.This is what brings about growth but with this mentality I cry for Ghana.
I am at a loss as to the utterances of JDM. Is he campaigning for NDC to vote for him as their presidential candidate or he is on an insulting spree. He has not even won the primaries yet he is assuming the position of a flag bearer. He lost miserably because he trained his Ministers to insult and he also joined them. He has started again. Please do not open the floodgates because you have been an ex-president before. Do not join the position reserved for serial callers.
YOUR BIG NAMES IS WHAT LANDED GHANA AT IMF. YOU WORTHLESS SOUL.I WONDER IF GHANAIANS STILL HAVE SHORT MEMORY.
Class Teacher: Which Ghana President said, 'I promise not to promise again'? Answers...Rawlings, Kwame Nkrumah, Atta-Mills, Kufour, Mahama, Akufo-Addo. Kofi: The answer is President Mahama Class Teacher: Correct for 10 points. Everybody clap for Kofi.
Hahahaaa, yes you managed and managed it well by bringing the economy from a whooping 7% GDP to 3.5%. Clap for Mahama pla pla papapla plaaaaaaaa... Gyimifuoooooooo. Only a drunkard will say this and not be ashamed. Our cocoa production was doing so well before Mahama took over from Mills. We were doing 1million tonnes and jumped into 2nd position in the world, but Mahama and his economic management sub team reduced this gracefully to 700, 000 tones as at the time of leaving office. Nana Addo is increasing cocoa production and the target is to hit 1.5million to overtake Cote D'Ivoire soon. Mahama paid cocoa farmers 57% of the world producer price at a time world price had gone up to $2900. According to set rules, cocoa farmers are not to be paid less than 70% but Mahama who managed the economy well paid them below belt. Nana Addo, at the moment is paying these same farmers today, 76% aand also at a time, cocoa world producer price has shot down to 2200. Who is better managing the economy?
