Your destain for Bawumia is well known. Only JM makes sense to you even when he can't explain what a 24hr economy is.

DISHONEST BUT TOTALLY EMPTY
What did Randy do for his PhD? What does he know about economics and finance. These empty, hypocritical and very ignorant TV and radio pundits are the cause of misinformation in the country. In any organized system credit score system helps streamline banking and trade. Attempts were made several years ago and even under NDC to introduce it but true to form the BRAIN DEAD BUNCH FAILED. Those of us who lived abroad, know the value of education and decided to learn and not just follow football learnt proper knowledge and common sense. Why are we destroying the country and misleading vulnerable citizens? Anyway only ignorant and idiotic NDC MEMBERS WILL FOLLOW RANDY’S EMPTY RANTS NOT BACKED BY ANY PROPER CERTIFICATED KNOWLEDGE. STOP THE NONSENSES. NDC DE3 GYIMIE NE NKWASEASEM NKOAAAA. TWEAAAAA

MTN already have the credit system, where as you continue to pay your load on time, it gives the more chance to borrow more from them. But the problem has to do with the repayment. They don't care whether you business is doing well to payback or not, the interest keeps accumulating. Once you default that is all. Our system is full of promise and fail so the credit system won't work any magic. Teachers have GNAT, GNARAT loans.

A credit card is a short term revolving consumer loan...and it comes with extremely high interest rate compared with conventional loans like personal, auto, mortgage etc loans...hence without a good, well paying job, banks and lenders will either deny you or give you a card with low credit limit which ultimately affects your credit scoring because you'll be exceeding your credit limit....and if you're unable to payoff your debts every month, the punitively high interest rate will Sink you into bankcruptcy...
So a consumer credit card without good jobs is no game changer...it's not a joke my brother

debt is a burden. Let try to live a content lives. People borrow so much to show off and at the end of the day, they can't sleep in peace.
Let not politicise this, it more honorable to purchase and pay off outright. Notwithstanding having some relief with credit is cool...
The typical Ghanaian will build from the roof rather than the foundation, the test environment for the credit system is " developed countries " can beat our chest and claim we are developed. Leader's please lay a strong foundation of financial sustainability for the citizens then all other things will follow.....

A credit card is a short term revolving consumer loan...and it comes with extremely high interest rate compared with conventional loans like personal, auto, mortgage etc loans...hence without good, well paying jobs, banks and lenders will either deny you or give you a card with low credit limit which ultimately affects your credit scoring because you'll be exceeding your credit limit of spending....and if you're unable to payoff your debts every month, the punitively high interest rate will Sink you into bankcruptcy...which means you're blacklisted for life!...no lender will give you any type of loan...
So a consumer credit card without good jobs in a stable thriving economy is no game changer...it's not a joke!...it's rather a poverty trap for the working class with low wages...it will definitely screw them...the way forward is therefore job creation in a high growth economy..

Randy Abbey is never an intelligent person by the way he speaks. This man has a problem understanding what is going on at the digital space. These are the top guys in ndc, Ablakwa said ndc will build regional airports as 24-hour economy explanation. Randy Abbey says credit scoring system is not a big of a deal. Another ndc PhD holder said 24-hour is going to be exporting tigers,lions etc this is the mindset of these criminals who want to rule Ghana.If you don't have the understanding of anything, please ask or research to educate yourself before you become couch dead walking talking potato head. It's pretty obvious that Randy Abbey has a low IQ, he is no different from ndc drunkards and bauxite thieves.

Randy Abbey is never considered to be any serious person with trustworthy brains. Just look at the man and you can tell he has a very low IQ to understand what he reads or writes. All the PhD holders in the ndc party are dead brain walking talking potato heads. Ablakwa said 24-hour economy they will build all regional airports. Felix totobi ofosu kwakye could not explain, Joyce Bawa is muted about the 24-hour economy, another shameful PhD holder said ndc will be exporting cats, dogs, tigers, lions hippos, cross etc. Can you blame these dumbass politicians? No, the level of their understanding is pretty low and thus they are not able to absorb anything into their brain.

Lazy thieves like Randy Abbey can benefit from a credit score. those that have been stealing state monies like Randy and his cronies Kurt Okraku, Freddy Pappoe, Asante Twum, Dr. Pambo and the rest can always afford a credit score. Why is Randy Abbey, Anim Addo always at the GFA? The answer is simple, his friend Kurt Okraku is a master thief and he leads them to steal state money that comes via FIFA, eg. Black Stars after football World Cup and so on. But a lazy NDC guy randy Abbey would always say it is not possible. But Bawumia says it is possible.
