Accra: The founder of Perez Chapel International, Charles Agyinasare, has described the economic performance of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) government as 'unprecedented' in Ghana's Fourth Republic. In an interview with Bola Ray on Starr Chat on Starr FM, the clergyman, who said he has witnessed the administration of various Ghanaian leaders for close to six decades, expressed surprise at the speed of the country's recent economic recovery.
According to Ghana Web, Archbishop Agyinasare's assessment was based on predictions by economic pundits that it would take a decade to stabilize the nation's debt, but the current government managed to shift the dynamics within just six months. He highlighted the appreciation of the cedi against the dollar and the fulfilment of IMF loan obligations as part of the reasons for his conclusion.
The Archbishop also noted the absence of government scandals over the past year, describing it as 'worthy of commendation.' He defended men of God against claims of silence on illegal mining issues, stating that his advocacy against galamsey included authoring academic articles and preaching on its effects. He urged Ghanaians to offer praise where it is due rather than focusing solely on criticism.
