David Vondee lauds Mahama for emergency Cabinet meeting and key resolutions
David Vondee lauded John Dramani Mahama for convening an emergency Cabinet meeting and adopting key policy resolutions in response to escalating global tensions and their potential impact on Ghana's economy. The meeting followed escalating military exchanges involving Israel, Iran, and the United States, which have heightened fears of a broader regional confrontation. Vondee said that recent geopolitical developments involving Iran, the United States, and Israel had triggered sudden global instability, warning that the situation had caught most countries off guard and required urgent policy responses to mitigate economic fallout.
Speaking on the JoyNews AM Show on Thursday, April 10, the MP said, "Everything was going well. Nobody knew that Iran, US, and Israel were going to take this kind of war. Unfortunately, that's happened. What do we do?" He explained that the escalation of the conflict and its impact on key global shipping routes, including the Strait of Hormuz, had contributed to uncertainty in global oil supply and significant fluctuations in fuel prices. He noted that fuel prices had surged significantly within a short period.
According to Vondee, before the outbreak of the conflict, oil prices were relatively stable but had since doubled in some markets. "Before the war, they were buying a gallon of oil at two dollars. Today it's more than four dollars," he observed. Vondee described Mahama's decision to convene an emergency Cabinet meeting as timely, strategic, and in the national interest.
