IMF AS SMOKESCREEN TO RAM AUSTERITY BUDGET

This year, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is to be the excuse for Ghanaians being asked to tighten their belts while the political elites loosen their belts and feed fat on our sweat. We should not wait for the IMF to be used by the authors of our economic hardships to blackmail the nation and ram an austerity budget down our throats without any consultation for our inputs into and acceptance of the proposals. We have a duty to ask for transparency and accountability now.
