When you lie to power the economy and the exchange rate will expose you big time.
Shameless, dishonest, Nation wreckers.

Bawumia is just like Akuffo Addo, Cheddar and Kennedy Agyapong! They are all hollow cylinders with a lot of chutzpah and no clue, no integrity, no shame and NO LOVE FOR GHANA or Ghanaians!

Every African President tells lies. Yes, l saw that when Nkrumah was at Koforidua to campaign. He promised the people of the city that he would build an lnternational Airport for them. Many people, including my grandparents believed and campaigned for him to win the Presidency. As at now, Koforidua people cannot even boast of an Aerodrome. Afrifa, Busia, Kutu, Gen. Akuffo, Rawlings, Kuffour and the rest all made vague promises. That is what Ghana politics descend into when one wants to become the President of the country.

Dr Tony Aidoo said the NDC's problem is Dr Bawumia. He said NDC does not have competent men to counter Bawumia's brilliance. When Bawumia speaks, NDC needs over 25 people including Adongo, Fifi kwetey, Mona Quartey, Ato Forson, Bernard Mornah, Jinapor, Jane Opoku Agyemang, Kwasi Pratt, John Mahama, John Gatsi, Franklin Cudjoe of IMANI, Rickett Hagan, Ablakwa, Ofosu kwakye and many more to look for figures to counter Bawumia. Dr Tony was right.

Either your eyes, your ears or your imagination is worrying you. Nobody needs anybody to counter Bawumia. We can confidently count on Bawumia himself to counter anything he himself says today in a matter of weeks. It now even seems that he is the deputy chief of propaganda officer for the NDC. I hope the NDC will be grateful enough to give him a position when they win the elections

"President Kufuor has every right to choose anyone he wants to lead his party. He has a right to choose whoever he wants to lead Ghana at this crucial moment.

Many of us also deserve to question the rationale behind his choices, especially if they are related to the pile of economic carnage and political chicanery that have landed us into our current atrophy and international ridicule

Where was President Kufuor's voice when defenceless and frail old men and women had to queue under the scorching sun to beg Nana&Bawumia's government to hands off their savings and miserable pension contributions? And yet they were given dreadful financial haircuts sending almost 900 of these senior citizens prematurely to their graves?

Where was Kufuor when millions of Ghanaians were given ugly financial haircuts solely due to reckless financial and economic management of the Economic Management Team? Did he sympathise with us? Where has he been when we had to deal with 54% inflation rate, still dealing with 40 plus pernicious taxes?

Has he said a word to ordinary businesses and individuals who are toiling to make ends meet ?

Where was he when nearly 1 million Ghanaians were discarded like unwanted flies into deeper poverty by the recklessness of his beloved economic team head and managerially impotent solid team?

Where was Kufuor when his own party of so-called property owning democrats Machiavellianly disenfranchised thousands of Ghanaians in SALL? Any comforting words.?

Where was Kufuor when many young men and women were thrown in jail for daring to question why the government has aided the poisoning of our rivers due to uncontrolled illegal mining?

My dear President Kufuor, can you help with the below?

How will you describe the two scenarios below?

2016. $1=4 cedis

1 bag of cement = 24 cedis

Ghana at IMF, but the government did no 'pickpocketing' of savings of Ghanaians and pensioners through the tortuous debt exchange programme.

Debt as of 2016= 120bn cedis

2024 Bawumia and Nana Addo

$1= 17 cedis (Oct)

1 bag of cement-105 cedis.

Ghana at IMF got there in stiches, plus over 40 painfully higher taxes, wicked financial haircuts -government literally pickpocketed savings of Ghanaians and pensionthe debt exchange programme. (Atutuobutom paaa ). Debt as of 2024 - a staggering 763bn cedis.

According to the World Bank, poverty rates are projected to rise until 2026, peaking at 31.5% in 2025 before slightly declining to 30.6%, with rates at the LMIC line potentially reaching 55.1% by 2026 due to limited growth in services and agriculture and rising prices outpacing income growth for the poorest.- Why?

Perhaps President Kufuor needs to be reminded that his successor president, Nana Addo and his "solid" economic management team headed by Bawumia junketed our economy, drove us into a mighty debt iceberg, literally pickpocketed savings of innocent and defenceless senior citizens against their will, gave the rest of us ugly financial haircuts and finally supervised the worst ecological homicide through illegal mining.

May be President Kufuor should encourage all to choose wisely and peacefully."

The white people are laughing at Bawuliar because in the whole world in this 21st Century, no Politician campaigns on a theme such as digitization. These white organizations always want to innocently bring out our issues in a harmless way but within themselves and their circles they laugh at the primitive things we do such as a whole Vice President campaigning on Digitization because he has ruined the economy but still still still want to continue to ruin the economy by seeking an extension of his mandate . Bawuliar is the new Mugabe of Zimbabwe . Now digitization is no big deal because there are just technology companies mostly from China who can give you any digitization infrastructure you want, you just name. Facial recognition in a large crowd technology, citizens app , Artificial intelligence camera for government buildings and security agencies, anything is available if you pay. So what's the big deal about digitization when the most important policies politicians campaign on is Economy, Security, enemies relations etc. These are the things Politicians all over the World campaign because there are policies which affect citizens welfare directly. Digitization can be bought, but can you buy the right Economic policies for a country to succeed? That's why we should vote out Bawuliar to prevent the BBC laughing at us

Anybody who hail Bawumia on digitalisation has a deficiency in his or her mind.
Bawumia main job in this NPP government is economy - Akuffu Addo told the whole world why he chose Bawumia as his veep- purposefully on the economy
today Ghana economy is in ICU at Kole-bu Hospital -
if he claimed he is an economics let him heal the economy.
how could you champion digitalisation without digital infrastructure?
and let him tell us how many infrastructure has he and his NPP able to add to where the John mahatma left the fibre optic cables ?
how many has he able to add to the electricity connectivity in the country ?
and lastly what are the cost of internet and electricity in the country ?
any body who says he is championing digitalisation without these basic infrastructure amenities is a comedian

He has even the crazy spirit in him to call Mahama incompetent one. He insulted Mahama. Now he is crying that people are insulting him. Can he do his digitization without touching the massive infrastructure laid by Mahama?

We're we not told Bawuliar is an economics guru? When did he add ICT to his resume to be championing digitalization after collapse of the economy?

Inasmuchas there nothing wrong with a country going digital, a serious leader is.one who creates avenues for digital companies and gets busy with his/ her field of expertise. Why can't Bawuliar allow Joe Anokye, the so called Technology Guru who is believed to have helped the NPP hacked into the EC's network to rig elections for the party go ahead with digitalization so he can face the ailing economy for which he was said to have solution to?

This Bawuliar man is a scam of a clown being imposed on Ghanaians
