Former President John Mahama has questioned the preparedness of the Nana Akufo-Addo led administration for ongoing negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Government is hopeful of reaching a Staff-Level agreement for a programme with the IMF before the end of the year.
The government disclosed this in a statement issued after its latest round of talks with the IMF at the Spring Meetings.
However, former President John Mahama says the government has jumped into negotiations without taking time to develop a policy document to guide a programme.
Former President Mahama was said this when he hosted the new executives of the Ghana Journalists Association.
He says the Nana Akufo Addo led administration is not as prepared as his administration was when it went to the IMF in 2014.
According to him his administration had gone to the IMF with a homegrown policy document handy.
Former President John Mahama said the home grown policy document was the result of extensive consultations with stakeholders at Senchi.
The former President has been advising government to replicate the Senchi Forum but President Akufo-Addo has so far turned a deaf ear to the proposal.
The former President said the Senchi Forum served him well and would be helpful to President Akufo-Addo if he heeds his advice.
