Are You Really An Economist or You Only Passed The Exams.....Dr. Ayariga Questions Dr. Bawumia.



 Are You Really An Economist or You Only Passed The Exams.....Dr. Ayariga Questions Dr. Bawumia




Founder and leader of All People's Congress (APC) Dr. Hassan Ayariga has chided the vice president of the republic of Ghana, His Excellency Dr Mahamudu Bawumia for comparing Dumsor crisis to the pandemic COVID-19. Dr. Ayariga mocked the vice president that, He has rather exposed his lack of Leadership and understanding of economic issues and questioned him weather He (Vice president) really an economist or you only passed the exams.

 According to Dr Ayariga, Ghanaians suffered dumsor between 2005 to 2008 when Dr. Bawumia was a Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana and a member of the Economic management team, but he couldn't do anything about it.

 In an exclusive interview with Twifo Praso based radio station sweet fm's presenter Odiasempa Kwaku Ahiaku, Dr. Hassan Ayariga emphatically stated that, Comparing a pandemic to an energy crisis that occurred because the NPP Government failed to invest in power generation over an 8year period only reflects the confusion that has characterized the Vice President’s recent pronouncements.


                  BACKGROUND

Dr Bawumia told Mr Mahama on Monday, 4 May 2020, to look at the available data before he criticises the Akufo-Addo’s led government after the NDC’s flag bearer said the economy was in intensive care following the Covid-19 pandemic.

 “My humble advice to former President John Mahama is: ‘Take a look at the data, this is not green book data. Take a look at the data before you speak, otherwise, you will end up embarrassing yourself’. When it comes to the data, it has been very clear; in agricultural growth, we have performed better; industry growth, we have performed better; inflation, we have performed better, on the interest rate, we did perform better; exchange rate depreciation, we have performed better. That is the data,” Dr Bawumia stated.

 The Vice-President further accused Mr Mahama of mishandling the economy during his tenure as president to the extent that there was no chalk for basic schools.

 He further mentioned that President Akufo-Addo has managed the coronavirus pandemic better than Mr Mahama handled the energy crisis which lurched the country into darkness for three years during his administration.

  Mr. Ayariga finally advised Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to pay attention to the data contained in the governing New Patriotic Party’s 2016 manifesto and the plentiful promises the party has made in the recent past, and fulfil them since that is the social contract they have with Ghanaians.

AFTER YEARS OF MINING IN AKWATIA – GHANA’S NEW ARTIFICIAL LAKE, THE ASUBONE STORY AND OUR TOURISM DRIVE ABSTRACT.... H. BRAKO

  AFTER YEARS OF MINING IN AKWATIA – GHANA’S NEW ARTIFICIAL LAKE, THE ASUBONE STORY AND OUR TOURISM DRIVE  ABSTRACT.... H. BRAKO Diamonds were first discovered in the Gold Coast Colony (Ghana) near the Birim River close to the town of Abomosu in 1919. The Birim diamond discoveries led mining companies to invest along that river. However, not until 1929 did organized diamond mining begin following additional diamond discoveries made by Ghanaian prospectors in the gravels of Bediebewu streams near Tarkwa. In 1924, the Consolidated African Selection Trust (CAST) was formed and became the major diamond mining company in Ghana. Over 2 million carats were mined by CAST from 1924 to 1939. CAST’s early success led to investment in other diamond exploration and mining ventures in West Africa particularly in Ghana – resulting in the establishment of Great Consolidated Diamond (GCD).  1n 1963 Lake Asubone was created artificially in Asubone near Akwatia in Denkyembour District of Gh...
