Former President John Mahama has bemoaned what he describes as economic hardships in Ghana and empathised with traders over poor sales.
According to Mr Mahama, traders no longer make money as they used to do when he was President.
"You are selling oysters, shrimps and so many other things. Nobody needs to come and tell you that the economy is not doing well. Everybody selling something today can see that they are making less sales than they used to do in the past and that is because times are hard.
"People came and told us that the money is there, that we were sitting on money but yet hungry.
"Today, the Finance Minister tells us that everyone knows that Ghana is broke. The NPP President in 2016 told us we are sitting on money but still hungry, so, why is the Finance Minister saying Ghana is broke?” Mr Mahama quizzed while speaking to some market women in Sogakpe in the Volta Region.
President Akufo-Addo and Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, while campaigning for the 2016 election, said Ghana was rich but Ghanaians were not feeling it in their pockets because of the poor performance of the Mahama administration.

No smart and deep thinking politician will make such statement. John Mahama is now exposing his shallow minded brain to the world but his ***barred word*** soldiers will also not think twice and making him expose himself more by commenting to support his unreasonable “where is Ghana’s riches? statement”. Let me tell you that the statement by Nana Addo that “GHANA is sitting on sika so ɛnso ɛkcm de yɛn" means that Ghana is sitting on 1. Oil, 2. Bauxite 3. Manganese 4. Gold 5. Diamond 6. Iron 7. Cocoa 8. Timber 9. Fertile arable land for farming 10. Rivers and sea full of fishes and many more. So why should our people be hungry with all these in abundance in our country Ghana? Nana Addo is tapping all these resources one by one to make sure Ghana becomes well and able country with rich economy. Nana Addo is really wiser and deep thinker than John Mahama.
This man is just a complete waste of time. Real governance is about national policies. Policies bring infrastructural development as well. what is the use of building structures without policies and you call this development?
Mr. mahama has the Government ask you to pay all the contractors you owed them when you lost power.? Ghana is not yesterday so amend your political strategy.We now know that your are truthful in all submission made. Change your style in today politics otherwise you will fail big time agai
In one breath, the economy is booming because I laid a solid foundation. In the next breath, the economy is not doing well, times are hard. What at all should we make of this man?
Eeeeeeeeeeeei, Wiasi nie ? very very sloppy. I think he should retire.
Aah but I thought you said is left with bones, alright enough of that, tell us your policies and programs for 2020
Mr We have eaten all the meat and left only the bones.
In one breath, Mr TIO said he should take credit for the current performance of the economy under NPP because he laid the foundation before leaving office. Now listen to him. The Incompetent One (TIO) is clearly confused or simply an 1diot who found himself at the presidency by default. This dude is just terrible!
