Addressing a Town Hall meeting Wednesday, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia said macroeconomic stability must reflect in safe drinking water, good roads, access to good health, stable and affordable electricity, good education among others. The government has come under scrutiny in recent times following the depreciation of the cedi, intermittent power supply, the collapse of some indigenous banks, and hikes in prices of goods and services. But Dr. Bawumia, the man who leads the government’s Economic Management Team, has defended strongly the economic fundamentals of the country and how it is not only good on paper but impacting Ghanaians positively. That is not all, the government, he said, has injected $1.5bn into building education infrastructure for the next three years.
