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.

  NPP And NDC Playing "Chaskele"  With EC... Rev Dr Worlanyo Mensah Tensions between Ghana's Electoral Commission (EC), National Democratic Congress (NDC), and New Patriotic Party (NPP) have escalated over alleged discrepancies in the 2024 voter register. Rev Dr Samuel Worlanyo Mensah, vice presidential candidate for the All People's Congress (APC), economist and a lecture at Wisconsin university Accra, has warned that the NDC and NPP's actions during the limited voter registration and special transfer of vote exercise have compromised the register's integrity. "The two major parties were bussing people from their homes to registration centers, encouraging minors and foreigners to register," Dr. Worlanyo alleged. The NDC recently raised concerns upon receiving the provisional voters register, citing bloated electoral rolls in certain polling stations and alleged attempts by the EC to rig the December 7 polls in favor of the governing NPP.
