Senior Minister Yaw Osafo Marfo says the Nana Akufo-Addo government would not settle the huge debts left on the country by the previous administration because doing so will cripple their own administration.
Marfo, speaking at the NPP’s annual delegates congress held at KNUST over the weekend, revealed that the debts left by the NDC will render Akufo-Addo’s government stagnant if he tries to pay them all off.
“We inherited [a] poor economy and debt but we will not pay majority of NDC’s debt because if we try to pay all the NDC debt, Nana Addo will not be able do any development”. he said.
Marfo also added that the former government officials who were involved in corrupt deals whilst in office would be prosecuted for their crimes.
“We are going through papers, after that majority of the NDC party corrupt officials will be prosecuted. We don’t want to lose any case in court for accusing NDC official as corrupt therefore we are looking into some of their contracts to get concrete evidence”. he added.
