Former Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Robert Yaw Amankwah, has stated that Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is the worst Ghana has had.
According to him, the current economic situation is the worst ever and has never been seen under any leader of the Economic Management Team, the position Bawumia currently holds.
“What are his records? One of his records is that when he wanted to become the vice president, the dollar rate was $1 to GH¢4 and he said if he came to power, he would arrest the dollar and give the key to the IGP.”
“… but today, the rate is $1 to GH¢11. This is a record alright but it is a record that is hurting us.”
“In the history of Ghana, we haven’t seen the economy perform this badly under any head of the Economic Management Team,” he said in Twi in an interview with Akoma FM, on October 30, 2023.
The Former NPP Ashanti Chairman added that the vice president cannot take credit for Ghana’s digitalization agenda, as he has been doing.
“He (Bawumia) didn’t start the digitalization. It was Kufuor who started working on the Ghana Card. So, he cannot take credit for it,” he said.
