President Akufo-Addo inherited a better economy than possibly any of our [other] presidents have had in the fourth republic,\u201d Kofi Adams said in an interview with <strong>Citi News<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The NDC inherited an economy in 2009 that was borrowing to pay salaries. Indeed we went out there and took bonds before we could pay salaries. That was the type of economy we inherited. The NPP inherited an economy that never borrowed to pay salaries. We paid salaries using revenue generated internally.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The President was responding to demands made on him by the chiefs and people of the Dorimon traditional area at Jambusie in the Wa West District, while on a two-day working visit to the Upper West Region as part of 7-day tour of northern Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>The President said his government had<span style=\"color: #666699;\"> <a style=\"color: #666699;\" href=\"http:\/\/citifmonline.com\/2017\/10\/03\/be-considerate-in-your-demands-akufo-addo-tells-ghanaians\/\"><strong>inherited an ailing\u00a0economy<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>which forced them to be measured in the number of projects they undertake.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we are saying is that, all the things that you have put to me are things that I am very concerned about \u2013 extending the school feeding programme, establishing a nurses training college\u2014but a lot of them depend on the state of our public finances. And the truth of the matter is that, I am not a lucky son, I did not inherit a rich father. The inheritance I got from my predecessor was an empty treasury so I\u2019m having to work my way from the bottom up,\u201d Nana Addo said.<\/p>\n<p>However, Kofi Adams touted the Mahama administration&#8217;s feats in infrastructure development despite the challenges they had encountered, particularly the work that has been done at the various airports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had added a lot more infrastructure that did not exist. Go to our air and sea ports today; we\u2019ve added a lot more infrastructure that did not exist.
