Former Energy Minister Mathew Opoku Prempeh has admitted that there was mistrust between the people of Ghana and the New Patriotic Party government under the leadership of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
The broken trust, he says, hurt so much that it was reflected in the party’s results in the 2024 election.
Speaking to Accra-based Joy News in an exclusive interview, Napo as he is affectionately called, admitted that the previous government did not listen enough, adding that they assumed a lot of things they shouldn’t have assumed.
“One thing I’ve concluded is that there was a broken trust, citizens to government. The trust that was broken hurt so much so we saw the results. We didn’t listen enough; we assumed a lot of things we shouldn’t have assumed.
Probably, our purpose was a bit of a challenge for us, we had gone through the worst global economic climate, medically and economically. Government around the whole world have been toppled and changed apart from autocratic governments,” he stated.
