“Really? Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, is this quote wrongly attributed to you or rightly to another? Either way, it is not true!
Let us recall the following:
2016 – John Dramani Mahama
- $1 = 4 cedis
- 1 bag of cement = 24 cedis
- Ghana at the IMF, but the government did no ‘pickpocketing’ of savings of Ghanaians and pensioners through the debt exchange programme.
- Debt from 1957 to 2016 = 120bn cedis
2024 – Bawumia and Nana Addo
- $1 = 17 cedis. Mate/Driver Bawumia.
- 1 bag of cement = 105 cedis.
- Ghana at the IMF, got there in stitches, plus over 40 painfully higher taxes, wicked financial haircuts — government literally pickpocketed the savings of Ghanaians and pensioners through the debt exchange programme. (Atutuobutom paaa).
Debt between 2016 and 2024 – a staggering 763bn cedis.
Unemployment, twice as high as during John Mahama’s term, more people facing hardcore poverty, and environmental homicide on a scale never seen before.
Supervised the highest 54% inflation rate ever since 1992, nearly 40% interest rates, and over 40 punishing taxes since 2017. The greatest sin of all, precociously disenfranchising defenseless citizens like SALL using judicial and legal plunder.
These, my friend, Alhaji, are the credentials for earning the badge of economic dishonor.”
