Deputy Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) UK/Ireland branch, Kofi Ampomsah, has slammed Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia for abandoning “his core mandate, knowing that he has failed miserably.
According to him, the Vice President has beat a hasty retreat on the economy and turned his focus on digitization which is the mandate of the communication minister.
In a write-up to the media, he stressed that Vice President Bawumia appears not to understand the plight of the ordinary Ghanaian because the NPP government was voted for to provide Ghanaians with the basic necessity of life which is food and health.
Read the full text of the write-up below:
The NPP government continues to demonstrate that they have lost the plot when it comes to executing the mandate that the good people of Ghana gave them in the 2020 election.
The ordinary Ghanaian looks up to the government led by Nana Akuffo Addo and Dr. Bawumia to provide them with the basic necessity of life, which is food, shelter, and health. But what do we see today, a government so incompetent that they have created economic hardship to the extent that the ordinary Ghanaian cannot be guaranteed one meal a day.
Prior to the 2020 election, the NPP engaged in politics of lies promising to better the lives of Ghanaians if they are retained in government, but what do we see today, increase in fuel prices, high cost of living, unemployment, and general hardship across all sectors of the economy.
As the head of the Economic Management Team, Dr. Bawumia has decided to abandon his core mandate, knowing that he has been a failure at that, to now focus on digitization which is supposed to be in the domain of the communication minister.
Dr. Bawumia clearly does not understand the plight of Ghanaians. What Ghanaians are crying for is a better economy so that they can feed their families and afford the basic necessities of life, which is their priority and not digitization. No one is discounting the importance of a digitized economy, but you do not focus on it at the expense of the economy which is the worst managed since the inception of the 4th Republic.
The NPP should be serious with Ghanaians.
