Suhuyini from the NDC party says the previous government built a shaky money plan that just couldn’t handle hard times. He points out they tried to sound the alarm back then, but the message got ignored. Even big financial groups like the World Bank and IMF noticed the exact same red flags.

He remembers telling folks that the system would crack under pressure, and sadly, it did. Instead of pointing fingers at outside events, he wants everyone to look at the choices made right here at home first.
