According to Minister Adam, the apology is necessary to assure Ghanaians that the government meant well in its fiscal consolidation efforts. He acknowledged that the program has caused unintended hardships and difficulties for many citizens, particularly pensioners, individuals, and businesses.
The Minister’s apology comes after widespread outcry and protests from various groups, including the Individual Bondholders Forum, who have been vocal about the program’s negative consequences. The government has faced accusations of mishandling the program, which has resulted in significant losses for many Ghanaians.
Minister Adam’s apology is seen as a step towards addressing the concerns of Ghanaians and rebuilding trust in the government’s economic management. However, critics argue that the apology must be followed by concrete actions to mitigate the effects of the program and ensure that those affected are adequately compensated.
