Mr Terkper made revelations on the Citi Breakfast Show in January 2017 that his government (NDC) had “managed to bring the economy to a point of stabilization and where, as we have been indicating, we have seen a clear turnaround. The Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central avowed that the NDC rather left the economy in such a poor state that the NPP is making all efforts to fix it as stated in the 2018 budget presented by Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta to Parliament. Speaking on ‘Badwam Mpensenpensenmu’ on Adom TV, he said “they left a bogus economy…horrible economy.
