A deputy finance minister, John Kumah has described Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as an inspirational leader who is capable of turning around the fortunes of the country amidst the current economic challenges.
Ghana is currently seeking a bailout from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to help put the economy back on track following the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.
Speaking to Beatrice Adu on TownHall Talk on Asaase 99.5 on Friday (14 April), Kumah said: “Dr Bawumia is a voice of hope for this country especially in these difficult times.
”In these difficult times, we need people who speak to give us hope and one of the voices in this country that speak to give hope is Dr Bawumia.”
“You need individuals who understand how to reform the current system and add value to what President Akufo-Addo has started.”
“The ‘Ghana beyond Aid’ which must result in ‘Africa beyond Aid’ requires a new level of thinking, innovation and digitalisation,” Kumah said.
