Charles Owusu has strongly warned the Akufo-Addo government to stop making decisions that affect Ghanaians.
He warned the government not to ignore the concerns of Ghanaians and once it has decided on a policy it will continue to implement it regardless of what Ghanaians feel.
The former Head of the Monitoring Unit at the Forestry Commission disagreed with the government’s behavior and approach in launching the Domestic Debt Exchange Program that will affect Ghanaian bondholders as well as pensioners.
“If you say something, the government must listen. Without the people, there is no government. If there are no people in the country, where is the government?”, he exclaimed.
He wondered why the government still refuses to engage with stakeholders and citizens before implementing policies but always has a mind, so it ignores the people’s complaints.
Charles Owusu asked him to consult with stakeholders to arrive at a good solution on how to carry out this debt exchange program, stating that what he will do will improve the situation of many Ghanaians.
“If it doesn’t affect you, it’s not difficult to discuss, but people who have spent money on bonds, treasury bills and now think they won’t return, some can’t sleep and others take BP. pills. People are crying!”
He also responded to government officials who appealed to Ghanaians to support the programme, saying, “If it can help the government should humble itself… the government should change its ways”.
“If I don’t understand these things, how can I admit them? How can I agree with the government? So, the government should listen to us and involve Ghanaians” in the program, he demanded.
