The Deputy Director of Elections and IT of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Rashid Tanko-Computer, says Ghana is beginning to reap the benefits of improved leadership and sound economic management under the current administration.
Speaking on Channel One TV’s current affairs programme The Big Issue, he drew a sharp contrast between the present government’s approach and that of the previous administration, which he accused of corruption and poor crisis management, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to him, weak leadership in the past plunged the country into severe economic hardship, eroding public confidence and worsening living conditions for ordinary Ghanaians.
Rashid Tanko-Computer maintained that the situation has changed, insisting that current leadership is delivering visible results. He pointed to greater economic stability, easing inflation, and heightened consumer activity in major markets as signs of recovery.
He argued that government policies are beginning to ease the cost of living and restore confidence in Ghana’s economic direction.
“Under their regime, we saw that corruption and covid-19 were equal to each other. It was terrible. Now in Ghana, we have gotten better leadership now. Leadership is about everything. We have been able to stabilize the economy for the good people of Ghana.
“Inflation has come down. We all saw what happened at Makola during Christmas. Fire Service had to send their water tanks to water people because of the unprecedented crowd because prices of goods were down. People were there to shop. Did you ever see this in the last eight years?” he said.
