Pius Enam Hadzide, Deputy Minister of Information
The government fought back against the members of the Coalition for Social Justice (CSJ) for their badertions of unbearable suffering in Ghana under the Akufo-Addo-led government, accusing the previous National Democratic Congress (NDC) government of being responsible for the current high youth unemployment rate in the country.
This is because CSJ members have threatened to hold a series of demonstrations to pressure the government to improve the economic situation of Ghanaians.
Hundreds of Ghanaians, including leaders of the main opposition parties, the NDC and the PNC, joined the CSJ at the first street protest "Kum Y3n Pr3ko" in Accra on Tuesday, July 9, 2019 to demand better governance, but the government has described this initiative as a mere political gimmick on the part of the government. NDC main opposition to cause the public's disaffection with the government.
Addressing Valentina Ofori-Afriyie on Tuesday, July 9, 2019 on 501 on Clbad91.3FM, Vice Minister of Information, Mr. Pius Enam Hadzide, blamed the NDC for having dipped the country in the current economic mess.
He said: "If we say that it is the same government that is responsible for the unemployment created by the NDC that runs this event and that we have inherited, there is a wealth of contradiction in this type of positioning.
"It's the NDC that has turned to the IMF for its political credibility and has not used it and, as a result, created a huge backlog. If you look at employment in the only health sector that this administration has done since we took office in 2017, a lot of the health care job is a backlog from 2012 to 2016, a period of which the NDC was at the helm of the business.
