Ghana’s largest opposition political party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has taken a swipe at the government for its consistent attribution of the country’s current economic challenges to the Russia/Ukraine war and the Covid-19 pandemic.

Addressing the press on Wednesday, the party’s Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi insisted that Ghana’s economy showed signs of serious challenges prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

He also cast doubt on the ability of the government to meet the revised E-Transaction Levy (e-levy) revenue target.
