  Who took Ghana to the IMF in 2022? It was Dr Messiah Bawumia and Ken Ofori Atta- cum Akuffo Addo- The NPP Economic Messiah-Dr Bawumia. Ghana has been to the IMF 18 times- Ghana has spend 40 years under the IMF conditions out of its 68 years history-Ghana IS A FAILED STATE.
  The World Bank has pushed back against the erstwhile Akufo-Addo administration’s long-held narrative that Ghana’s 2022 economic collapse was the result of global turmoil, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war.
  Bawumia was the Chairman of the Ghana National Economic Management Committee but he says that he was the Drivers Mate. How can a driver's mate do this when he claims he never had the chance to implement anything in government because the powers that be did not allow him. Yet he wants to claim credit for any good things that he never did yet will refuse to accept responsibility for any failure in their government. How stupid does this man think we are? You took the cedi from 4 to 17 and still had the audacity to tell us the rate of depreciation at that time was better than the previous NDC administration. What at all does this man take us for? Does he think we're stupid or what? Someone should tell this man that we haven't forgotten about the DDEP haircuts and surely we shall punish the npp again come 2028.
  
  It insisted that the economic meltdown was “homegrown”.
  
  In its latest 2025 Policy Notes on Ghana, the Bank made clear that while the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine worsened the situation, they were not the root cause.
  
  “The deterioration of global conditions… was not the cause of the 2022 macroeconomic crisis; rather, it merely exposed an economy already beset with deep structural vulnerabilities and precarious macroeconomic conditions,” the report said.
  
  The government has frequently blamed external shocks for the collapse, which saw inflation spiral, the cedi plummet, and the country default on its debt.
  
  But the World Bank said years of weak governance, fiscal indiscipline, and stalled reforms were the real culprits of Ghana's "dark days".
  
  Interbank Market: Cedi trades at GH¢12.35 to $1
  
  The bank also argued that the easy access to international credit and expectations of resource windfalls encouraged short-term political decisions at the expense of long-term stability.
  
  The report noted that the cycle of expansionary spending followed by painful corrections, one that has forced Ghana into 17 IMF programs over the past 68 years, is damaging.
  
  “Sudden macroeconomic stops and crises have led the country to request a record number of IMF programs, remaining under active IMF support for 40 out of its 68 years of history,” the Bank said.
  
  The report also noted that more than 800,000 people were pushed into poverty in the aftermath of the 2022 crisis, with per capita incomes stuck at around US$2,200 for over a decade.
  
  Today, more than a quarter of Ghanaians live below the poverty line, it noted.
  
  Looking ahead, the Bank also raised alarms about Ghana’s fiscal management in the 2024 election year.
  
  It flagged unbudgeted spending commitments of roughly US$4.8 billion, equivalent to 5.7% of GDP, much of it accumulated outside official financial systems.
  
  “Spending indiscipline poses a critical challenge…undermining efforts to maintain fiscal discipline and compromising long-term sustainability,” the report cautioned.
  
  Also, the energy sector arrears still cost around 2% of GDP annually, while COCOBOD’s debts reached US$1.8 billion in 2024, with interventions distorting markets and hurting farmers.
  
  The bank warned that Ghana now stands at a critical crossroads, and temporary fixes will not be enough.
  
  “There is an urgent need to signal a clear break from the past and a commitment to change… Success will ultimately be measured by the ability of the government to regain the trust of its citizens.”
  
  Its recommendations are focused on restoring fiscal discipline, broadening the tax base, reforming state-owned enterprises, and enhancing governance.
  
  Without decisive reforms, the World Bank cautions, Ghana risks remaining trapped in its cycle of crisis and bailouts for decades to come.

  Hahahaha. Bawumia is the DONT TOUCH ME washing soap and NSOKODUA chewing stick of all Ghanaians. Hahahaha. I remember those SCARCITY DAYS oo Julor Jeremiah Rawlings when there was the situation where people had to queue to buy everything, including even uncooked Kenkey, Keta Schoolboys fish and Ewura Afua fish to prepare them at home for the Family Dinner. Yes, those days, children and their families are once a day. Yes, students at the Boarding and Lodging Schools ate Pinto Beans and cooked Cassava for Lunch or Supper. Those were the Evil days of Julor Jeremiah Rawlings’ Reign of Terror. Everywhere people went to, they had to walk. There was no Fuel for vehicles to transport people.? Walked from Koforidua to Suhum a couple of times, and from Nsawam to Accra on two occasions. There were no alternatives. You have to find any secluded place to spend the night if caught by the Curfew. These are some of the reasons I have never been someone who liked Rawhide Rawshit Rawlings. The situation in the early days of that nonsensical AFRC was just like the Situation in Afghanistan. The only difference is that in Ghana, there were not that many murders and restrictions. Yes, we lived in Hell on Earth. And that monster was given a State Burial. Let him enjoy in Hell now that his wife has joined him.

  But during Akuffo Addo’s tenure, Judges were not abdicated from home during Curfew Hours and murdered. Such wickedness and atrocities took place under JULOR Jeremiah Rawlings. That evil Anlo Ewe Bastard and the son of a prostitute.Who is his father and how did his mother become pregnant? Prostituting. That is why his Scottish father disowned him and even refused to meet him when he secretly went to London to look for his father. I think that that is enough disgrace to him and a bitter humiliation.

  If we come together in our many colours we build our nation together with our diverse potentials as people with one destiny. In this lies our strength to make an envious place to live and thrive.
  So there is no need whipping tribal sentiments which will only divide us rather than bringing us together.

  Unfortunately, that could not wash your dirty political lined stained by the corrupt Akkufo-Addo government, neither was it able to clean the shit-hole mouths of the likes of Napo, Abronye and the rest of them, leading to the shameful defeat of the party in the 2024 elections. It looks like there is no sensible person in the NPP to advise on how the party people speak in public. Bawumia is a defeated candidate, a rejected item that should be put away for a refreshed candidate.
