DR. BAWUMIA ON NDC: ----
“You inherited an economy with the highest resources in the history of Ghana. Tax resources, four times higher than the NPP; Cocoa, three times higher; Gold, three times higher; you have borrowed more than all the governments put together and still we can’t feel a better economy, then you have failed. Mahama deserves F in economic management,” Bawumia asserted.

Speaking in an interview with Nsempawura on a Koforidua-based Eastern FM, the former Deputy Governor said for instance, the NDC government inherited a total debt of GHC 9.5 billion in 2009 and has increased it to GHC 90 billion within six years.

By the end of the year, Ghana’s debt will hit about US$ 40 billion looking at the current borrowing trend, he predicted.

With the sum of US$ 40 billion, he said, a good management team will allocate just US$ 2 billion to each region for development but the contrary is happening under the NDC government.

In economic management, every government with such an amount of money should be able to pay nurses, teachers, doctors, NHIS, and take care of all the social intervention programmes in Ghana, Dr. Bawumia analysed.

According to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, President Mahama and the NDC government can best be described as a “toxic mixture of incompetent and corruption which has exploded into ‘Wahala’ and Suffering”.

He feared for the future of the Ghanaian youth under the NDC administration, and challenged the youth to join the NPP to recapture power from the NDC in the 2016 General elections.

Eii, so religious leaders, so called peace council and chiefs are sitting down unconcerned for nana borro (mahama) to cripple our economy. if governance is all about borrowing then any fool can become president. All you need to do is to borrow, borrow & borrow because the next generation will come and pay. NDC, taking our national debt from 9 billion cedis in 2009 to 94.5 billion is unacceptable. nana borrow, GHANA begs you, pls stand down for you are killing our country.

In deed, it is to the IMF's advantage to mortgage Ghana to them as that will allow untold number of foreign direct investment (FDI) activities to the detriment of our dear nation. Thus, exploiting our labour, environment, etc for their CAPITALIST's objectives. These people have destroyed their own nations and are now bent on destroying ours. Irresponsible capitalism has deprived many from living in dignity in these IMF surrogate nations. So immoral, IMF knows they are dealing with corrupt representatives.

I support NDC but I'm beginning to doubt the direction this John Mahama government is taking Ghana. I don't think we are on the right track.

NDC, agyimifuo party, IMF has contracted the government to more boroughing, as if to borough just means work are done. What nonsense and stupidity is that? These people are so primitive that they make our country look odd in the eyes of the international community. How can an institution you have gone for credibilty because you have misused all resources advice you to borough more when they are also giving you loans? Mmoa paa nie. Ghanafuo get rid of these fools before your country is sold, animals in charge who have no sense of thinking.

Look we cannot rely on government so all Ghanaians including those in the diaspora need to look to how we can ensure that Ghana remains a secure country. I'm talking about those who have the finance, work ethic and vision to help build Ghana. If we sit and wait on Mahama and the leaders in the system then Ghaba will sink.

Where are the community and business leaders we need some thought and practical solutions to help maintain and generate growth ( diasporan fund, cooperatives, creating a funding network for local business excluding the use of banks)
IMF is just looking to sink Ghana with debt so that it can control Ghana's economic future.
