Bryan Acheampong, a flagbearer hopeful for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has cautioned that Ghanaians will soon start asking tough questions to the John Mahama-led National Democratic Congress (NDC) government. Acheampong believes the current applause for the government is “fake and AI-generated”, implying that the economic improvements are artificial.
The Abetifi MP attributes the supposed economic gains to the government’s injection of huge amounts of dollars from the Bank of Ghana, warning that this approach is unsustainable. “The money you inject into the economy from the Bank of Ghana is one thing, but what you have to do for the economy to stabilise is another thing,” he stated.
Acheampong predicts that when the artificial measures stop working, Ghanaians will demand answers. “Very soon, Ghanaians will start asking that the money from the Bank of Ghana is no longer coming, the dollar is going up… where is the 24-hour economy?” he questioned.
The NPP flagbearer hopeful emphasized that the government’s fundamentals must be strong, as the Bank of Ghana cannot always inject money into the economy. He urged Ghanaians to look beyond the current praise and assess the government’s performance critically.
GhanaWeb quotes Acheampong saying, “I’m saying that artificial intelligence can be used for a lot of things. Most of the applause and all the praise we are seeing are mainly generated by machines clapping”.
