The MP questioned the government’s claims on job creation, noting that while officials boast of one million jobs, the Ghana Statistical Service reports only 600,000. He emphasized that macroeconomic indicators, however brilliant on paper, must translate into real-world outcomes, including jobs, accessible credit facilities for businesses, and growing industries. “We are not eating macro indicators,” he said, pressing the government to ensure that economic gains reach the people. “In everything that we do, you need to give to Caesar what Caesar deserves,” he said, urging accurate representation of achievements. The New Juaben North MP called for honesty and clarity, insisting that macroeconomic successes must reflect in the daily lives of Ghanaians through jobs being created, businesses thriving, women accessing affordable loans, and citizens witnessing genuine economic growth.
