“His GDP rate was the worst the country had 20 years ago at the time he was leaving office,” he said.

The legislator further explained that former president Jerry John Rawlings, at the time of leaving office in the year 2001, the country’s GDP at 3.9%, whiles Kufuor was able to raise it to 9.1% without oil revenue.

“But when Mahama took the mantle he reduced it drastically to 3.7%. The country at the time had not experience such a bad government in more than two decades”, he bemoaned.

Bonsu went on to say that the GDP has currently been increased 8.7% and the interest rate on bank loans has been reduced from about 35% to around 23%.
