Don’t blame Bawumia for Ghana’s economic woes

He also pointed out that most of the Bawumias challengers for the NPP standard bearer, such as former trade minister Alan Kyeremanten and agriculture minister Dr Afriyie Akoto, were also part of the EMT, but no one blames them for the economic difficulties.

This, he said, is a sure sign that Veeps reviews are dishonest.

The economic management team is only an advisory body; they don’t implement anything. And even if so, Alan Kyeremate was part of the economic management team, and the minister of agriculture, Dr. Afriyie Akoto, was also part of the economic management team.

All of the people vying for the leadership position of the NPP were part of the EMT. The EMT’s job is teamwork, so Bawumia can’t blame people if things don’t go well, he said in the local parlance.

Arguing against Bawumia’s candidacy, with some recent claims that he hasn’t been in the party long enough to be a standard bearer.

Former NPP general secretary and assistant to Alan Kyeremanten, Nana Ohene Ntow recently said that Bawumia only became a cardholder of the NPP in 2008, implying that he had not been around long enough to become the leader of the party.

Adomako Baafi countered that the number of years of service in a party should not matter in selecting a presidential candidate and that the most important factor to consider is competence.

He added that Bawumia has proven he can lead Ghana by helping President Akufo-Addo gain power for the NPP and thereby implement policies that have benefited the digitalization of Ghana and the gold against oil, among others.
