Manasseh Azure: You were so broke, you struggled to pay WAEC for WASSCE
News Hub Creator23h
Investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni has supported President John Dramani Mahama’s claim that the economy he inherited from Nana Akufo-Addo was worse than he had anticipated.
Awuni’s remarks come after the New Patriotic Party (NPP) challenged Mahama’s assertion that he took over a financially distressed government from the Akufo-Addo-led administration.
Nhyiaeso Member of Parliament, Stephen Amoah, criticized Mahama’s comments on Ghana’s economic situation after the State of the Nation’s Address. He argued that Mahama’s depiction of the economy as struggling and his accusations of economic mismanagement against the NPP government were unfair.
Amoah acknowledged Mahama’s composure during the address, but suggested that his comments were politically motivated and intended to embarrass the NPP.
However, Manasseh Azure Awuni disagreed with Amoah and strongly backed Mahama’s statements, emphasizing that the economy was indeed in poor condition under the previous government.
In a Facebook post, Awuni highlighted the severity of the situation, recalling that the government struggled to pay the West African Examination Council (WAEC) for Senior High School exams, underscoring the financial challenges faced at the time.
He wrote, “You were so broke you struggled to pay WAEC to conduct WASSCE, so we know the economic mess Mahama inherited.”
