The Director of Elections and IT for the National Democratic Congress has launched a scathing attack on the Economic Management team of the NPP government, led by Vice President Dr. Bawumia.
According to him, the NPP’s boasting of having the best economic management team is only a figment of their own imagination.
Addressing residents of Tafo in the Eastern Region during a community engagement, the former Communications Minister stated that the country’s economic situation keeps worsening by the day under the Vice President.
“And they want to tell us that they have a solid team; a solid team indeed, a solid team my foot,” he retorted.
Dr. Omane Boamah could, however, only describe Dr. Bawumia, the NPP’s presidential candidate, as a “theoretical economist” who doesn’t appreciate the country’s current economic quagmire.
“An economist who supervises inflation to soar all the way to 54%; is that one too an economist? An economist who supervises Ghana’s exchange rate to skyrocket one dollar to 17 cedis; is that one too an economist? An economist who supervises the national debt to skyrocket from 102 billion all the way to above 700 billion; is that one too an economist? An economist who supervises bonds—the most treasured, stable, and secure investment—yet citizens are given dual haircuts; is that one too an economist?” he quizzed.
The former presidential spokesperson said it was time for the country to change the NPP and choose John Mahama as the next leader.
“And so, going into the 2024 elections, three weeks and three days from now, we need a man with experience—John Dramani Mahama. We need the visionary John Mahama to come and reset our nation, to come and save our nation, to come and create the needed jobs, to come save you from the difficulty that you are in, to come and save you from the increasing fuel prices,” he explained.
