Deputy Finance Minister-designate Thomas Nyarko Ampem has described the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) absence at the National Economic Dialogue (NED) as a concerning development.
Speaking in an interview on an Accra based TV station he said, “We need to build consensus and for me, I am sad that our opponents are not actively participating in this”.
According to him, the NPP had every right to participate, as they could potentially govern the country again in the coming years.
Nyarko Ampem stressed the need for continued efforts in implementing the economic reset agenda, calling for collective participation to ensure meaningful outcomes.
“There has to be sustained efforts to make sure that it yields the needed results. That is why President John Dramani Mahama needs that consensus for everyone to be on the same page” he said.
