Former President John Dramani Mahama has taken a swipe at the government for “lying” to bondholders. According to him, the government lied to individual bondholders when it announced the debt exchange program and assured that individual bondholders were exempted from the programme. But on December 24, 2022, the government said individual bondholders will be affected by the programme. John Mahama also stated that the government has badly managed the economy, while pushing more Ghanaians into poverty. Gov't lies to individual bondholders; forces a haircut, and plunging more people into poverty!
