Minority Leader Slams Mahama Over Economic Stagnation
Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has accused the Mahama-led administration of reversing key developmental gains and plunging the country into economic stagnation.
Speaking on the floor of Parliament during the concluding debate on the 2025 Mid-Year Budget Review on Thursday, July 31, Afenyo-Markin criticised the government’s handling of key national policies initiated by the previous administration.
He alleged that the government, which he described as the “Apostles of Reset,” has undermined Ghana’s economic foundation and international reputation.
“We initiated the transformational 1D1F to create jobs to boost local production in every corner of Ghana. The ‘Apostles of Reset’ have murdered this industrial revolution and condemned these initiatives to economic stagnation.
“We launched the Agenda 111 Hospitals to heal our people and create a foundation for medical tourism. The Apostles of Reset have killed this infrastructure expansion, leaving communities without hope for quality healthcare.
“We pioneered planting for food and jobs to feed our people, to ensure food security and create agricultural wealth. The so-called Apostles of Reset have slaughtered these agricultural transformations, leaving farmers abandoned and food security compromised,” he stated.
According to the Minority Leader, the Mahama-led administration has been promoting illegal mining rather than genuine economic transformation.
“All they know is the ‘GoldBod, GoldBod, GoldBod’ to promote galamsey,” he said.
Afenyo-Markin also accused the administration of damaging Ghana’s diplomatic relations and international credibility, asserting that the country had become isolated on the global stage under the current leadership.
