According to Methodist Bishop Bosompem Ayensu, there is nothing wrong with the government going to the IMF despite pledging not to. He contends that the government had no choice than to resort to the IMF, given the country’s dire economic situation.
“This is not deliberate. The government had told us that it would not go back to the IMF in the past, but it has done so. There is a reason for whatever we do,” he said
He bemoaned the fact that some Ghanaians keep complaining yet have nothing constructive to say.
“What happened was not deliberate, and if we see anything deliberate, we will talk. People keep complaining the taxes we pay are one too many. Ghanaians are not truthful and wicked. We do not want to help each other. We must be responsible and truthful, and patriotic.”
“We should also blame ourselves as Ghanaians just as we blame the government. We keep blaming the government but have refused to blame ourselves for whatever we have also contributed to the mess we are in. What are we also doing to help the country develop?”
