Addressing the impact of the crisis in 2022, Mr. Otchere-Darko pointed out the widespread adversity, noting that various sectors, including banks, retailers, and manufacturers, bore the brunt of the challenges.
Expressing uncertainty about who benefited from the crisis, he raised concerns about the lack of recognition for the NPP's accomplishments during this period.
“But I get somehow frustrated by the narratives, and a big disappointment I have, is with the NPP itself, it is the lack of recognition of the work that they have done. For me, its a major disappointment,” he said.
“You know when there are crises, there are people who benefit from crisis but I don’t know who benefitted from the crisis of 2022. The Banks suffered, retailers suffered, manufacturers suffered, I mean it was everywhere,” he added.
