I am not happy with the state of the party because things are not going well. Look at the state of everything; economy, industry, banking, agriculture, education and mining, polluted environment, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook at all these things. And this party is supposed to be the one forming the government and carrying the burden, but we still have these problems then we cannot say that we are happy with the state of the party or the government,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Ghana has been facing a serious economic crisis which started in late 2019 and has seen a significant rise in the overall cost of living.<\/p>\n<p>The government has serially blamed the economic situation on the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war.<\/p>\n<p>However, according to Prof. Frimpong-Boateng such argument does not suffice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo no no. you can organise it [the economy] in such a way that we will not be a victim [of circumstance]. That is why people are there to solve complex problems, but if people who are there to solve complex problems are being demonised, and you leave people who are not designed to solve problems, to be around claiming to be the champions of whatever then we will be in this state all the time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"related_articles\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-24963\" src=\"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/10684616-300x242.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"694\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/10684616-300x242.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/10684616-522x420.jpg 522w, https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/10684616.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 694px) 100vw, 694px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Prof. Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng has expressed disappointment in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24964,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,1],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BeFunky-collag-20.jpg",1200,765,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BeFunky-collag-20-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BeFunky-collag-20-300x191.jpg",300,191,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BeFunky-collag-20-768x490.jpg",640,408,true],"large":["https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BeFunky-collag-20-1024x653.jpg",640,408,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BeFunky-collag-20.jpg",1200,765,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BeFunky-collag-20.jpg",1200,765,false],"chromenews-featured":["https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BeFunky-collag-20.jpg",1024,653,false],"chromenews-large":["https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BeFunky-collag-20.jpg",825,526,false],"chromenews-medium":["https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BeFunky-collag-20.jpg",590,376,false]},"author_info":{"display_name":"nkyeremunews","author_link":"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/author\/nkyeremunews\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/category\/government-and-politics\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Government and Politics<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/category\/uncategorised\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Nkyeremu<\/a>","tag_info":"Nkyeremu","comment_count":"0","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BeFunky-collag-20.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24962"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24962"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24962\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
