Speaking after the president’s address—his first in his second term—Ayariga acknowledged the country’s economic difficulties but emphasized the hope President Mahama’s speech has inspired.

“Mr. Speaker, what has happened to our economy and our country, and the presentation that has been made, says it all. It is sad. It is unfortunate, but His Excellency the President has brought us hope,” Ayariga stated.

He noted that President Mahama’s address resonated with various groups, including the youth, women, Okada riders, the private sector, students, and ordinary Ghanaians. According to him, the overwhelming support for Mahama’s leadership reflects the people’s trust in his vision.

“Mr. Speaker, we have no doubt that everything outlined here gives hope, and this house will support His Excellency to deliver on his commitment,” he affirmed.

Ayariga further underscored the need for accountability, stressing that those responsible for the country’s economic challenges must be held to account.

“More importantly, this house will support His Excellency to deliver on the promise of accountability. Those who so damage our economy must be held accountable,” he declared.
