Finance Minister yet to outline measures to tackle real issues of #FixTheCountry campaigners - Joe Jackson

The Director of Business Operations of Dalex Finance, Mr. Joe Jackson, says the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta's  press conference on Sunday,  May 9, 2021, failed to address the real concerns of agitated Ghanaians, who are protesting with the #FixTheCountry online campaign 

According to him, Mr. Ofori-Atta only reiterated the government’s undertakings over the period which falls short of ameliorating the economic hardship..

“Trumpeting your achievements does not fix my pocket and here when I talk about my pocket, I’m talking about those public sentiments that are being expressed, and the dissatisfaction in the level of unemployment with the public services, the dumsor, the roads, and the issues to do with education, security, health services, and housing which is making people unhappy and the perception of the increasing levels of corruption.” He said on CitiTV as quoted by citinewsroom.

“So telling somebody who says there is corruption, telling him about 1D1F, telling him about Planting for Food and Jobs and the others and however deep-rooted these may be in truth does not solve his or her problem.” He added

However, speaking on the same programmme, the Deputy Finance Minister Designate and MP for Ejisu, Dr. John Kumah, said the government has among other things created over two million jobs in its effort to minimize the burden of citizens.
