Speaking on TV3's Big Issue, he said the things that were criticised under the erstwhile Mahama administration have been multiplied under this government.

"The poster boys of this mess are Ken Ofori-Atta and Bawumia.

"The very thing Bawumia criticised the NDC for, they are doing worse; in fact, they have done a lot of terrible things. On the NPP stock, Bawumia and Ofori-Atta are not the best; we have the former BoG Governor Paul Acquah," Godwin Edudzi said on the show.

According to Deputy Finance Minister, Abena Osei-Asare, government's inability to pass major tax policies like the E-Levy has led to the country's poor state of investor confidence.

"…because, clearly, if a major revenue measure like the e-levy we were having problems with its passage, then clearly it in a way undermines your budget," she said.
