The new ruling Patriotic Party (NPP) has been accused of putting Ghanaians in trouble.

According to Election Director of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, the government led by Akufo-Addo has failed to advance Ghana's development, as its members complain a lot.

"It's too cheap for a nuclear power station. When they were in opposition, they were constantly discussing and discerning about useless issues and now we have given you power and you are still complaining. I think the NPP is still in the mood of his campaign. We always complain and we compare their term, "he told Ekosi Sen of Asempa FM station on Thursday.

According to him, the inefficiency of the government in the management of state affairs has pushed citizens to demand the return of the NDC to put Ghana back on the path of development.

Commenting on the sudden fall of the cedi, former former government minister John Mahama said that Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, director of the country's economic management team, had not kept its election promise before the 2016 elections to stabilize cedi against dollar if the NPP is elected to power.

He urged the government to admit that he had failed to turn the economy around, to build investor confidence and maintain the stability of the local currency, the cedi.

In addition, the government will set up a bipartite committee to investigate the depreciation of the cedi recently, said Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.

Mr Ofori-Atta said Thursday in front of the European Parliament: "Mr President, the President has asked me to investigate the structural causes of the cedi's depreciation and to propose measures to remedy to the situation. The governor and I are going to set up a bipartite committee to proceed immediately. "
