Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) General Secretary has fired shots at the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) for being desperate for credit for cedi stability.
According to Fifi Kwetey, NPP wants credit for Cedi’s stability but forgets they were the architects of the collapse.
The NDC General Secretary asserted that the NPP burnt in regards to the cedi burnt the house but now wants applause for showing up with a cup of water.
Fifi Fiavi Kwetey speaking on JOYNEWS stated, “They want to take credit for the recent cedi stability but forget that they were the very architects of the collapse. You can’t run away from the disaster and come back when it looks like a fix is on the way.”
“It’s almost as if they caused the house to burn down and now want applause for showing up with a cup of water,” he said.
He added, “They ran away from every negative indicator—the inflation, the debt, the hardships—but now that the currency is inching back up, they want to suddenly own it.”
“If they had that much faith in their own economic team, why did they spend their last year in power pointing fingers and hiding behind excuses?” he asked.
He added, “This is an opposition that created the crisis. Now they want to claim the recovery they did nothing to bring about”.
Fifi Fiavi Kwetey asserted that the NPP are cowards who want to ride on the back of something positive.
According to Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, it is not the gold reserve that is bringing the transformation but the inflow of dollars into the economy and liquidity.
Fifi Fiavi Kwetey detailed, “We’re talking about an initiative today that, within the first four months, has brought into this country $2.6 billion”.
“Annualise that and see the amount of foreign exchange that is being brought into the economy. That is far more than what cocoa syndication was going to give us. That is far more than what the IMF program was going to give us annually”, he added.
Fifi Fiavi Kwetey further fired, “I’ve heard our friends on the other side claiming, ‘Oh it’s our policy, it was our policy.’ NPP didn’t have a gold board. They didn’t have the creativity to know that you could actually purchase gold and that gold could be sold to earn forex”.
“We are not talking about gold reserve; two separate realities. It’s not a gold reserve that is bringing the transformation. It’s the inflow of dollars into the economy and liquidity.”
“They are desperate to take credit for appreciation of the Cedi, yet they are such cowards to take responsibility for galamsey, dumsor, or anything that is negative.”
“They are cowards who want to ride on the back of something positive. That is why that group will have to take a long time in opposition until they have what you call the rebirth of their soul to appreciate that politics must be done on the back of truth”, Fifi Kwetey detailed.
