Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Full Gospel Church Int., Rev Samuel Mensah, has urged President Akufo-Addo to stop attacking Ghanaians and his political opponents for expressing their views.

According to the Governance and Leadership consultant, the President must show exemplary leadership in the face of the prevailing economic challenges.

Sharing his expectations of the national address to be given by President Akufo-Addo on Sunday, Rev. Mensah said expenditure on government operations must be reduced.

According to him, this can be achieved if we, “Reduce number of government ministers to half and reduce number of convoy in his travels.”

Rev Mensah also recommended that all government ministers must travel on economy class tickets for the next three years that the country will be under IMF and the President must stop chattering private aircraft for his foreign trips.

The Leadership Consultant also called for the convening of an economic forum, “to involve key stakeholders regardless of political affiliations to fashion out a home grown economic program to address our current economic crisis.”

“We need to control the frequent transport fare increases, control inflation and as a long term policy, the nation should move from import driven economy to export economy,” he advised.
