John Mahama to speak on the economy on Thursday.
Ghanaians are experiencing severe economic hardships, according to Mr. Mahama, who criticized the present administration for its handling of the issue.

He expressed doubts about the country’s ability to endure until an IMF programme is established because it appears the economy is about to fall.
Former President Mahama addressed the leadership of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) at his office on Friday. He claimed that Ken Ofori-Atta, the minister of finance, had been hiding behind a dire economy all along and was instead painting a rosy picture to make it seem as if everything was fine.
Therefore, Mr. Mahama urged the government to be open and solicit assistance from well-meaning Ghanaians with the “best brains.”
“The government should come clean and tell us, ‘What is the state of the economy?’ You must put everything on the table,” he said.
“That is why I called for a national dialogue. I said bring the best brains together. I have been president before, it served me well. I called the Senchi Forum, it didn’t reduce my stature as President.”
If prompt action is not done, he said, “it will be catastrophic for all of us.”
Ghana is currently requesting a $3 billion buffer from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in order to salvage its collapsing economy.
The programme is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2022.
