Knucklehead DriverMate Dr. Bawumiah, has failed to arrest the dollar as he proudly and loudly promised. So, how can he cut that much from government expenditure?
He must tell us how and where- which sector, he is going to cut the expenses from.
Or once again, he is just running his Black Gonja mouth?

Still Bawumia all the way. If corrupt Mahama says we have short memory, a lot of Ghanaisn do not have but will refer him to all the scandals that he got him investigated by Mills, got him international certificate for the most corrupt president ever in the world e AIR BUS OFFICIAL 1 and also allow a burkinabe to bribe him with a Ford. Sedinam is a thief aided by Mahama. No space for this kind of person again.

If what the Vice President is saying is true, the NPP government could have used GHS 60 billion to repair and expand our road network. Inflation would certainly have been lower and the suffering of Ghanaians would have been much less.

Did the Council of State or any 'wise' men in the NPP advise the President of the implication of making that many political appointments?

It's not about excessive expenditure but he is talking about letting some this government projects like roads, schools, markets on BOT agreement so as to free government expanding money to other key sections of the economy

Sometimes I feel ndc fool soldiers if not stupid are indeed foolish in the head. The man has given you one policy that will reduce government expenditure. The sane thing to do is to state what.candidate Mahama has in place of what he said. But noo so so useless insults which has no place in securing ndc votes. You people should grow up for people who read are not stupid to follow minds who do not want to exhibit intellectual discourse. If you can't give a counter use the space to explain your 24 hour economy. which even fools in ndc can't relate.

the various political parties and the teams should include how they will balance the budget with minimal foreign injection and let the best candidate win. we are tired with the "ashawo" promises.

In fact the NPP has made a very serious mistake by putting up Bawumialiar as their Presidential candidate for the December 7th elections. From all the talk that Bawumialiar has been making on the campaign trail it is obvious that he has nothing to offer let alone clean up the mess his incompetent government has saddled Ghanaians with. By the grace of God a new government under the leadership of JM wil be sworn in come January 2025.

You trust this pathological liar at your own downfall. He is the number two in Ghana and they have brought severe economic hardship on Ghanaians. If you want to see that Bawumia is just deceiving you, look at the rate of Cedi to the dollar which is very nasty now. He doesn't comment on the depreciation of the Cedi anymore. This is the work he is assigned to do, but he has failed badly. He is just diverting your attention from the depreciation of the Cedi. Whether he makes his cabinet to twenty in number, it's a secondary matter. Bawumia must genuinely arrest the Cedi!

GOOD FOR NOTHING APLANKE BAWUMIA NEEDS TO CUT DOWN ON HIS LIES.

You're part of the biggest bloated government in the history of this nation. Not once have you asked your corrupt and incompetent boss beggar President Akufo-Addo to trim that tree. You're an active participant in your government's management of the economy, and that has produced nothing but mismanagement, plunder, and a comatose economy. For the seven years that you've been squatting at Julor House, not once have Ghanaians heard about you offering ideas to to your government that will ameliorate the state of the economy and ease the pain that Ghanaians are suffering due to the your Julor House Wahala virus. You now spend your time doing your Steering Wheel dance, spitting out lies and deceptions, while falsely presenting yourself to Chiefs across Ghana as a meek and humble person. How can Ghanaians trust you do anything of the things you now are promising, when you're busy running from the very the failed government policies that that you actively participated in crafting?
