“The PNC acknowledges that the greatest sacrifice must be made by the government through cutting down on expenditures whiles ensuring effective revenue mobilization to meet essentials demands of the country,” the statement jointly signed by General Secretary Janet Asana Nabla and Communication Secretary Samuel Ayesu said.
The party called on Ghanaians to cooperate with the government in its effort to bring the economy back on track.
“We implore other opposition political parties, Civil Society Organisations, NGOs and all well meaning Ghanaians to join hands with the government to bring the economy back on track through constructive criticisms, and putting our partisan interest aside for the interest of all.
