Government PR making Ghana look good but reality exists

Broadcast Journalist Bridget Otoo has indicated that although times are hard and the government is struggling to get its act together, it’s Public Relations is topnotch.

She says with the kind of Public Relations Machinery run by the current government, there’s difficulty realizing things are not what they seem.

She believes that more needs to be done but there is the thinking that everything is okay; a perception which has artificially been created in the minds of the people.

Bridget made this complaint in a tweet.

She said “The PR game by government has made some people to believe we are there. We are not…. But you can fake it with ahomasuo 24/7.”

Meanwhile, former Finance Minister under the John Dramani Mahama administration Cassiel Ato Forson has predicted doom for Ghana in 2022.

He insist that Ghana will wallow in doom considering the activities of the government in the year.

“2022 is a year of Economic Misery and inflation! Folks, we need to brace-up for more hardship this year. Here is why: 1) Prices of goods to be increased by at least 30%2) The Ghanaian cedi now trading at almost 6.5cedis to 1 US Dollar is likely to hit 7 cedis before End of the year. 3) fuel prices set to go up by 18 pesewas this week is likely to go up again on account of a weak cedi4) multiplicity of taxes and Levies to take effect by End of January 2022.5) Interest Rates likely to go up again6.) Government will be borrowing heavily from the domestic market since the Euro bond market is closed to Ghana for, at least, the first half of 2022.”
