Alhaji A.B. Baba, a former Northern Regional Minister, on Monday appealed to Ghanaians not to criticise the government for joining the Highly Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative.
He said the government would not have been able to service the Country’s debts and still carry out meaningful development programmes if it had not joined HIPC.
Alhaji Baba, who made the appeal in an interview with the Ghana News Agency in Tamale, said that with better negotiation terms, the government would be able to revamp the economy in the shortest possible time.
Commenting on the 100 days of the NPP government in office, he said that was a short period for Ghanaians to expect much from the new government.
He, therefore, urged Ghanaians to be patient with the government to put its economic structures in place to be able to deliver.
