  DR BAWUMIA: _____-----International rating agency Moody’s has not upgraded Ghana’s sovereign credit rating contrary to assertions by the Mahama administration to that effect, the vice-presidential nominee of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has said. Speaking at the launch of the NPP’s 2016 manifesto at the International Trade Fair Centre in Accra on Sunday, 9 October, Dr Bawumia said Ghana’s sovereign credit rating got downgraded to (B-) under President Mahama despite having oil revenue at its disposal, from (B ) positive (without oil under the NPP). Moody's Investors Service recently affirmed the Government of Ghana's issuer and senior unsecured rating at B3 and changed the outlook to stable from negative. Dr Bawumia, however, noted that nothing had changed except the revised outlook. He said, in fact, international rating agencies like Moody’s, Fitch and Standard & Poor’s now have basically the same credit rating for Ghana. “The recent revision of Ghana’s outlook from B- negative to B- stable; that is the equivalent of B3” with the revision of the outlook from negative to stable, “has resulted in a misinterpretation by this NDC government and President Mahama that Ghana’s credit rating has been upgraded.” “This is in fact not the case. Moody’s did not upgrade Ghana. Ghana’s rating under Moody’s is still B-. It is only the outlook that has been revised and that is not equivalent to a change in rating or a rating upgrade. “Sometimes one wonders whether they don’t read or they don’t understand. So, let me give Mr President a free piece of advice: ‘Mr President, please desist from embarrassing yourself by stating that Moody’s has upgraded Ghana.’ Your economic management team should explain that difference to you. “The Mo Ibrahim 2016 report on governance shows that on virtually all key development indicators such as safety, rule of law, human rights, economic opportunities, infrastructure, business environment, human development, health and public management, Ghana is worse off today than it was 10 years ago,” Dr Bawumia said.

Ghanaians have shown their disaffection by hooting your president,it is not NPPIANS alone who are suffering under this incompetent and clueless government but majority of the ndc voters are more hungry than the NPP. Find an ndc man going round sharing ndc headscarf and aprons to some women and you will understand some refused and the only one who accepted the gift was an ndc woman who complained bitterly before accepting the gift fools,so who are going to vote for you to win? The people are not accepting your gifts and those who got them complain bitterly hahahaha ndc is sinking and you could see the ndc man giving out those gifts look frustrated hahahaha wow !! GOD BLESS NANA,GOD BLESS NPP,GOD BLESS GHANA. PATIENCE IS THE GATE WAY TO SUCCESS.

  Stupid journalist. What you forget is that you are supposed to present the facts not declare a winner. We can make up our minds after reading what they said. There is no mention of job creation except hair dressing. How many hair dressers do we need in Ghana? The predominant occupation in his constituency is fishing so a policy in how to move the fisher men to the next levels is what they needed. Like solar powered cold store, corporative to give fishermen low interest loans to buy better equipment’s. Getting the boat owners to join forces and move from canoes to medium sized boats. Cleaning up the lagoon for use as fishing farms. Diversifying in the non-peak fishing periods in other vocations. This land guard is going to be in parliament. Very sad.
