  • Growing Revolt Against Frank Asiedu Bekoe: Supporters Fear NPP Could Lose Suhum Seat

    Growing Revolt Against Frank Asiedu Bekoe: Supporters Fear NPP Could Lose Suhum Seat

    Story By: Felix Ernest Odamtten / Muhammed Faisal Mustapha

     

    The New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Suhum Constituency of Ghana’s Eastern Region is facing increasing internal unease as a section of party supporters and grassroots members voice concerns over what they describe as growing divisions under the leadership of the area’s Member of Parliament, Hon. Frank Asiedu Bekoe, popularly known as “Protozoa.” They warn that unless urgent efforts are made to restore unity, the party could face significant political challenges in future elections.

     

    The concerns surfaced during the constituency’s electoral activities, where supporters from different polling stations and electoral areas spoke openly about what they believe is a widening gap between the parliamentary leadership and the party’s grassroots structures. Many described the current atmosphere as one of uncertainty, frustration and declining confidence among long serving party faithful.

     

    Several supporters appealed directly to the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the NPP and the Office of the party’s 2024 Presidential Candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, to facilitate an intervention aimed at reconciling the various factions within the constituency before the situation escalates further. According to them, rebuilding trust should become an immediate priority if the party intends to remain electorally competitive in Suhum.

     

    In separate interviews, party members alleged that internal cohesion has steadily weakened since Hon. Frank Asiedu Bekoe assumed office as Member of Parliament. They claimed that disagreements which were once manageable have gradually evolved into entrenched divisions that now threaten the party’s organizational stability and morale.

     

    According to several respondents, strained relationships between the Member of Parliament and sections of constituency executives, polling station officers and grassroots organizers have contributed to feelings of exclusion among many dedicated party activists. They argued that many committed supporters no longer feel adequately consulted on major constituency decisions, resulting in reduced enthusiasm and weakening the collaborative spirit that has historically characterized the party.

     

    Some supporters further alleged that greater attention has been directed toward consolidating support among selected delegates instead of promoting broad based reconciliation across the constituency. While these allegations remain contested and have not been independently verified, critics insist that perceptions of favoritism have intensified mistrust and deepened existing internal divisions.

     

    A number of interviewees also claimed that Suhum possesses experienced and highly respected professionals including medical practitioners, lawyers, entrepreneurs and other accomplished party members who are willing to contribute significantly to rebuilding the constituency. However, they alleged that many of these individuals have been marginalized because they are perceived as potential political competitors to the current parliamentary leadership.

     

    Supporters further contended that the constituency’s leadership has increasingly relied on a relatively narrow circle of loyalists whom they believe lack the organizational capacity, influence and financial strength needed to effectively support the party, particularly during a period when the NPP is rebuilding from opposition.

     

    Several respondents maintained that excluding experienced professionals has deprived the constituency of valuable expertise capable of strengthening internal administration, improving resource mobilization and enhancing grassroots political organization. They argued that broader inclusion would better position the party for future electoral contests.

     

    Beyond internal party concerns, many residents and sympathizers also questioned the pace of socio economic development within the constituency. They expressed disappointment that several communities continue to face challenges relating to infrastructure, employment opportunities and access to essential public services despite expectations of accelerated development.

     

    Some interviewees further argued that stronger parliamentary advocacy and sustained engagement with central government institutions could help attract greater investment into roads, education, healthcare, agriculture and youth employment initiatives. In their view, visible development remains one of the most effective ways of strengthening public confidence in political leadership.

     

    The Member of Parliament’s visibility in Parliament also featured prominently in the discussions. Several supporters alleged that Hon. Frank Asiedu Bekoe has maintained a relatively low public profile on issues directly affecting Suhum, arguing that constituents expect stronger representation during parliamentary debates and national policy discussions.

     

    Respondents recalled that during his campaign for the NPP parliamentary nomination, Hon. Frank Asiedu Bekoe pledged to unite the constituency and restore confidence within the party. While acknowledging the challenges associated with political leadership, they argued that many supporters believe those expectations have yet to be fully realized.

     

    Political analysts observe that internal cohesion remains one of the most critical determinants of electoral success in highly competitive constituencies. They caution that prolonged factional disputes often weaken campaign structures, reduce volunteer participation, discourage financial support and create opportunities for political opponents to capitalize on internal dissatisfaction.

     

    The concerns emerging from Suhum come at a time when political parties across Ghana are reassessing their internal structures following recent electoral outcomes. Reconciliation, grassroots engagement and organizational renewal have become central themes as parties prepare for future national contests and seek to rebuild public confidence.

     

    Several supporters warned that failure to resolve the current disagreements could gradually erode loyalty among committed party members and weaken the constituency’s electoral machinery. As one supporter remarked, “Political victories are built on unity not division. Once the grassroots lose confidence, rebuilding that foundation becomes far more difficult.” Another activist added, “Suhum deserves leadership that brings every stakeholder to the same table because reconciliation must come before any future campaign.”

     

    Supporters are therefore urging the National Executive Committee of the NPP and the Office of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to facilitate an inclusive dialogue involving constituency executives, grassroots members and Hon. Frank Asiedu Bekoe. They believe that meaningful reconciliation, renewed grassroots participation and a stronger focus on development priorities including infrastructure, education, healthcare and local economic opportunities could restore confidence and reposition the party for future electoral success. Hon. Frank Asiedu Bekoe had not publicly responded to the allegations and concerns referenced in this report at the time of publication. The claims presented reflect the views of the supporters interviewed and underscore wider debates surrounding leadership, accountability, grassroots participation and party cohesion within the constituency.

  • “Forgive One Another”: Bawumia makes passionate plea for unity at NPP thanksgiving

    “Forgive One Another”: Bawumia makes passionate plea for unity at NPP thanksgiving

    The newly elected Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has made a heartfelt appeal to party members to bury the hatchet and forgive all grievances arising from the high-stakes internal campaign season.

    Speaking at a National Thanksgiving Service held at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) on Sunday, February 15, 2026, Dr. Bawumia emphasized that the path to victory in the 2028 general elections begins with a unified and reconciled house.

    A Call from the Heart

    Addressing a sea of party faithful dressed in white, Dr. Bawumia acknowledged that the recent presidential primary—which he won with 56.48% of the vote on January 31—had left some internal fractures.

    “On this day as we celebrate and give thanks together, I want to ask all of us, from the bottom of my heart, that we forgive each other for some of the unpalatable things we may have said during the campaign,” he stated.

    The Vice President noted that while political competition is inherent to democracy, the “unpardonable behavior” and heated rhetoric often exchanged in the heat of the moment must now give way to brotherhood.

    The Healing Process Begins

    The Thanksgiving Service, themed “Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving” (Psalm 50:14), served as a spiritual bookend to the party’s internal transition. Dr. Bawumia expressed encouragement at the olive branches already being extended across various factions.

    “I have been encouraged by the efforts many of you have made to reach out to your brothers and sisters after the elections,” he added. “Though I know the exercise of healing is not yet completed, I believe we have started well, and I commend all patriots for the steps taken so far.”

    Strategic Reorganization

    Beyond the spiritual focus, the message was deeply strategic. Dr. Bawumia reiterated that a divided party cannot effectively challenge for power in 2028. He urged members to:

    ● Discard internal attacks that provide “fodder for opponents.”

    ● Focus on common goals rather than individual grievances.

    ● Demonstrate tangible lessons learned from the 2024 electoral cycle.

    The event was attended by top NPP leadership, current and former Members of Parliament, and former government appointees, signaling a broad show of force behind the new flagbearer.

     

     

  • Party Unity Over Pettiness: Prof Oquaye urges Bawumia to bridge divides post-primary victory

    Party Unity Over Pettiness: Prof Oquaye urges Bawumia to bridge divides post-primary victory

    By Adnan Adams Mohammed

    Following a high-stakes internal contest that has tested the seams of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), former Speaker of Parliament Prof. Mike Oquaye has issued a clarion call for reconciliation. Speaking shortly after Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia was declared the winner of the 2026 NPP presidential primary, Prof. Oquaye emphasized that the road to the 2028 general elections requires a “brotherly feeling” that can only be forged through humility and mutual respect.

    Addressing journalists at his Haatso residence on Sunday, February 1, 2026, the veteran statesman and Chairman of the NPP Presidential Election Committee urged the Vice President to resist the urge for triumphalism and instead focus on mending the fractured relationships within the elephant family.

    A Call for Magnanimity

    Prof. Oquaye was explicit in his advice to the Bawumia camp: victory should not be a license for mockery.

    “The victor must show magnanimity and respect, and the victor must tell his people to be careful in pronouncements at a time like this so that it does not look as if some people are being teased and mocked,” he stated.

    He warned that “creeping disregard” between supporters of different candidates has historically cost the NPP dearly, citing instances where aggrieved members withdrew their loyalty, leading to electoral losses.

    Shutting the Door on Tribalism

    One of the most stinging portions of the Professor’s address targeted the use of ethnic and religious rhetoric during the campaign. In a primary that featured heavyweights like Kennedy Agyapong, Bryan Acheampong, and Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, the discourse occasionally veered into tribal territory a move Prof. Oquaye says Ghanaians have flatly rejected.

    “Some people wanted to introduce ethnicity into this contest, but the people of Ghana have shown clearly that they are not interested in tribal dynamics. Let those people shut their mouths forever because we do not need it in this country,” he declared.

    The Responsibility of the Vanquished

    The counsel was not reserved solely for the winner. Prof. Oquaye urged the four unsuccessful contestants to reciprocate the olive branch and avoid an “opposition attitude” within their own party.

    The Road to 2028: Success Factors Identified by Prof. Oquaye

    ● Magnanimity: Avoiding the teasing or mocking of losing camps.

    ● Reciprocity: Defeated aspirants must accept the results in good faith.

    ● Neutrality: The Council of Elders must actively “patch” lingering grievances.

    ● Identity: Moving away from tribal/religious labels to focus on national competence.

    Looking Ahead: Bawumia’s Chances

    Despite the internal bruises, Prof. Oquaye expressed confidence in Dr. Bawumia’s ability to “break the eight” (and the cycle) in 2028. He cited the Vice President’s track record of innovation and economic contributions as his strongest currency on the national stage.

    “We must just accept this result in good faith, as it really reflects the nature of our people… to enable us to work together as a party to win the next election,” he concluded.

     

     

  • NPP Signed Its Own Political Death Warrant, Has No Electoral Life Left After Electing Bawumia as Flagbearer – Sinare

    NPP Signed Its Own Political Death Warrant, Has No Electoral Life Left After Electing Bawumia as Flagbearer – Sinare

    Former National Vice Chairman of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) and Ghana’s Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Alhaji Said Sinare, has launched a blistering attack on the opposition New Patriotic Party, declaring that the party has sealed its fate by electing Mahamudu Bawumia as its presidential flagbearer.

     

    In a strongly worded Facebook post, Sinare asserted that the NPP no longer has any electoral life left, insisting that the choice of Dr. Bawumia represents a strategic blunder that will culminate in a crushing defeat in the 2028 general elections.

     

    According to Sinare, Dr. Bawumia’s electoral record shows a consistent downward trend that the opposition party can no longer ignore. He pointed out that although Bawumia polled about 61 percent during the NPP’s 2023 presidential primaries, he managed only 38 percent in the general elections. More recently, his support reportedly dropped further to about 56 percent in the party’s internal contest.

     

    Sinare argued that a candidate whose popularity is declining even within his own party cannot hope to expand his appeal to the wider Ghanaian electorate. He described the development as clear evidence that the NPP is politically exhausted and out of touch with the mood of the country.

     

    The comments have triggered intense reactions online, with supporters of the NDC applauding what they describe as a frank assessment of the opposition’s condition, while NPP sympathisers have rejected the remarks as political provocation.

     

    Nevertheless, Sinare’s comments have added fresh fuel to the political atmosphere, as early positioning and psychological warfare intensify ahead of the 2028 general elections.

  • Bawumia best positioned for NPP leadership – Manasseh says

    Bawumia best positioned for NPP leadership – Manasseh says

    Renowned investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni has waded into the debate over the future of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), outlining seven pivotal reasons why Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia remains the most viable candidate to lead the party into the next general elections.

     

    In an opinion piece published on Thursday, January 29, 2026, Awuni argued that despite the party’s recent electoral losses, the former Vice President’s track record, character, and political trajectory make him the “man to beat” in the upcoming primaries.

     

    1. Tested and Most Marketed

    Awuni contends that Bawumia is the NPP’s most prepared “electoral product.” He highlighted that in the 2024 elections, Bawumia secured nearly 4.9 million votes (41.75%), significantly outperforming the party’s parliamentary showing, where the NPP won only 32% of seats.

     

    “These figures show that the NPP’s defeat in 2024 represented a rejection of the party, not just the candidate,” Awuni noted.

     

    2. A Unifier in a Fragile Party

    Drawing a biblical parallel to King Solomon, Awuni praised Bawumia’s willingness to concede the 2024 election early to preserve national peace. He described this as a “demonstrable act of bravery” that separates him from contenders who might operate under a “win or destroy” mantra.

     

    3. A “Sacrificial Lamb” Who Paid His Dues

    Dismissing claims that Bawumia is an “outsider” to the NPP’s Danquah-Busia-Dombo tradition, Awuni reminded critics of the former Vice President’s role as the star witness in the 2012 election petition and his tireless campaigning in 2016.

     

    The “Face” of Promises: While often mocked for unfulfilled promises, Awuni argues Bawumia took the “vicious attacks” intended for the entire party, shielding others who now hold office because of that victory.

     

    4. History Favors the Third Attempt

    Awuni pointed out a historical pattern in Ghana’s Fourth Republic where candidates often lose their first two attempts after a party’s eight-year cycle before winning.

     

    Atta Mills: Lost 2000, 2004; Won 2008.

     

    Akufo-Addo: Lost 2008, 2012; Won 2016.

     

    John Mahama: Lost 2016, 2020; Won 2024. Awuni suggests Bawumia is on a similar trajectory and has a solid base of 5 million votes to build upon.

     

    5. Shared Responsibility for Economic Failures

    While critics point to the collapsed economy under Bawumia’s watch as head of the Economic Management Team, Awuni argues that fellow contenders like Kennedy Agyapong and Dr. Bryan Acheampong share the blame. He noted that as MPs, they had the power to block controversial taxes like the E-Levy but chose to approve them.

     

    6. Independence from the “Puppet” Tag

    Awuni addressed fears that a Bawumia presidency would merely be an extension of the Akufo-Addo dynasty. He cited the precedent of Professor Atta Mills, who maintained independence from Jerry John Rawlings, and noted that current internal dynamics suggest Akufo-Addo is taking a more neutral stance in this race.

     

    7. Superior Messaging

    Finally, Awuni lauded Bawumia’s ability to present a “coherent campaign message.” Compared to his rivals Kennedy Agyapong, Dr. Osei Yaw Adutwum, and Dr. Bryan Acheampong. Awuni believes Bawumia’s policy presentations remain the most structured and persuasive.

  • Bawumia Takes Commanding 29-Point Lead as NPP Primaries Approach; Acheampong Surges in New Poll

    Bawumia Takes Commanding 29-Point Lead as NPP Primaries Approach; Acheampong Surges in New Poll

    Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has emerged as the clear frontrunner in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) 2026 presidential primaries, according to a sweeping new nationwide poll by Global Info Analytics.

    The survey, conducted between December 29, 2025, and January 23, 2026, paints a decisive picture of the party’s internal dynamics. It places Bawumia well ahead of a crowded field, cementing his status as the early favorite to lead the NPP into the post-2024 era.

    The Numbers: A Decisive Lead

    Based on interviews with 10,133 respondents across 272 constituencies in all 16 regions, the poll’s predictive model gives Bawumia a significant cushion.

    Candidate Support Percentage

    Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia 57%

    Kennedy Ohene Agyapong 28%

    Dr. Bryan Acheampong 13%

    Yaw Osei Adutwum 2%

    Kwabena Agyepong 0%

    According to Mussa Dankwa, Executive Director of Global Info Analytics, the survey used computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI) to capture delegate sentiment nationwide, ensuring data from beyond just urban strongholds. The poll reports a 99.9% confidence level, with a margin of error of ±1.57%, adjusted to ±3.0% for the final model.

    Acheampong Gains Momentum

    One of the most striking findings from the January data is the late surge by Dr. Bryan Acheampong. Having languished in single digits in late 2025, his climb to 13% in the final week of the survey suggests his message is gaining traction among delegates seeking a “consensus” or “unifying” figure.

    While still trailing the two frontrunners, pollsters indicate that Acheampong’s upward movement is the trend to watch as internal alignments shift in the final days before the January 31st vote.

    Regional Fault Lines

    Bawumia’s dominance is underpinned by a near-clean sweep of the five Northern regions, complemented by strong showings in the North East and Upper West a regional base that continues to prove decisive in internal NPP contests.

    Conversely, Kennedy Agyapong maintains a tenacious hold on a segment of the grassroots, particularly in urban centers and parts of the Central Region, though he faces a steep uphill battle to close the 29-point gap.

    “The data suggests that while the race has tightened in some southern pockets, the Vice President’s organizational advantage among the actual delegates remains his greatest asset,” noted Dankwa.

     

     

     

     

  • Ghana’s tax system needs reform 

    Seth Terkper and Dr Mahmud Bawumia

     

    Adnan Adams Mohammed 

     

    A former Finance Minister is advocating for a holistic tax system reforms to reflect transparency, efficiency, and the long-term financial health of Ghana.

     

    The former minister believes that, an improved tax collection mechanism; such as, automation and integration of income tax and VAT files, could result in an increased in revenue.

     

    Speaking in an interview after a presentation on Ghana’s International Monetary Fund in Accra last week, he questioned the delay in implementing the tax system digitisation, stressing the need for an efficient domestic Information Technology (IT) system for the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).

     

    Seth Terkper, further revealed the complexities of Ghana’s tax system and proposed reforms for a more efficient and transparent structure. According to him, Ghana has four tax regimes namely: Income Tax, Excise Duty, Petroleum Tax and Import Duties.

     

    He emphasised the importance of focusing on the four core taxes – income tax include: personal income tax, corporate income tax, and VAT, adding these are the pillars of the country’s revenue regime due to their broad tax base.

     

    Petroleum taxes are the levies put on products, adding that excise duties are punitive and usually put on products such alcohol and cigarettes, among others.

     

    On the concerns of increasing number of levies, he asserted that they contribute less than 6% to overall revenue and distort the primary tax system.

     

    He thereby called for transparency in the introduction of new taxes and urged a return to the core pillars for the tax regime indicating that, certain levies are distorting the tax regime and encouraging tax evasion and avoidance.

     

    Mr Terkper recommended clearing unnecessary levies and focusing on the fundamental tax pillars for sustainable revenue generation

  • Akufo-Addo/Bawumia presidency blows GHC191mn on Cabinet retreat, fuel, car batteries and others

    Adnan Adams Mohammed

     

    In a new masterpiece of analysis from Hon Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Presidency of Akufo Addo/Dr Bawumia has blown over GHC191 million on some miscellaneous expenses for the period January to September 2022.

     

    The lawmaker in the write-up indicated that, “Instructively, the 10-item expenditure summary which amounts to a massive GHS191,522,061.68 represents a tiny sample selection from more than 250 expenditure items contained in the Expenditure Documents currently under parliamentary scrutiny.

     

    “The Akufo-Addo/Bawumia/Ofori-Atta government must definitely listen to the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference and indeed all Ghanaians by sincerely departing from the obscene profligacy, particularly at the ostentatious Presidency where we will expect true burden sharing and frugal leadership by example at this time of government-inflicted economic crisis.”

     

     

    Read Full Article Below:

     

    I couldn’t agree more with the revered and celebrated Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference following their timely appeal to the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government to “present a posture that is consistent with the fact that the country is in dire straits or crisis” and their further demand for “drastic government expenditure control.”

     

    Expenditure documents from the Presidency between January and September 2022 which I am currently reviewing firmly justify the call from the venerable Bishops — a plea, which to be honest, many others within civil society organizations, the NDC Caucus in Parliament and former President John Mahama have been ingeminating.

     

    Readers beware, a summary of the presidential expenditure items listed below are most gut-wrenching:

     

    1) The President’s “operational enhancement expenditure” (whatever that animal is) cost the suffering Ghanaian taxpayer a mind-boggling GHS59.4million (59,486,108.91);

     

    2) The fuel bills paid at the presidency within the 9-month period under review cost the suffering Ghanaian taxpayer a colossal GHS51.1million. (51,109,137.86). Empirical analysis conducted reveals that government failed abysmally in its promise to slash fuel expenditure by 50%;

     

    3) President Akufo-Addo’s regional tours last year cost the suffering Ghanaian taxpayer a staggering GHS16.9million (16,906,272.45);

     

    4) Tyres and Batteries for official vehicles cost the suffering Ghanaian taxpayer an unbelievable GHS15million (15,000,000.00);

     

    5) The last Cabinet Retreat cost the suffering Ghanaian taxpayer a whopping GHS4.8million (4,800,000.00);

     

    6) Payment for new vehicles cost the suffering Ghanaian taxpayer GHS6.5million (6,500,000.00) — this is particularly distressing considering Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta’s announcement of a ban on imported official vehicles in March last year;

     

    7) Payment for Networking and ICT Equipment cost the suffering Ghanaian taxpayer an impressive GHS6.6million (6,600,000.00);

     

    8)An additional expenditure on Office Equipment/Furniture and Fittings cost the suffering Ghanaian taxpayer a fantastic GHS7.07million (7,070,315.28);

     

    9) Telecommunications and Internet Services from January to September alone cost the suffering Ghanaian taxpayer a shocking GHS20million (20,000,000.00);

     

    10) Vice President Alhaji Bawumia appears determined not to be left out. His office has on three occasions between January and September 2022 demanded what is simply described in the expenditure documents as release of funds for “URGENT AND OTHER EMERGENCIES ACTIVITIES” (wondering why emergencies and not emergency, and most importantly what exactly those emergencies and urgent matters were?). For the period under consideration and from GIFMIS Code 2210909 — a whopping GHS4.05million (4,050,227.18) of taxpayer funds from suffering Ghanaians was cumulatively released for the Vice President’s “emergency activities.”

     

    Quite obviously, the Ghana Fire Service, NADMO and the National Ambulance Service would wish they were as resourced for real emergencies as the Vice President’s office is.

     

    In the true spirit of transparency and accountability, I expect the Vice President’s office to immediately clarify to the Ghanaian people what those emergency expenditures are. I sincerely do hope that we aren’t witnessing blatant abuse of incumbency where our taxes are being funneled into the Vice President’s presidential campaign under the dubious claim of emergency activities.

     

    Moving forward, the NDC Caucus in Parliament shall be paying keener attention to these strange expenditure patterns both in the President’s office and the Vice President’s office.

     

    Instructively, the 10-item expenditure summary above which amounts to a massive GHS191,522,061.68 represents a tiny sample selection from more than 250 expenditure items contained in the Expenditure Documents currently under parliamentary scrutiny.

     

    The Akufo-Addo/Bawumia/Ofori-Atta government must definitely listen to the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference and indeed all Ghanaians by sincerely departing from the obscene profligacy, particularly at the ostentatious Presidency where we will expect true burden sharing and frugal leadership by example at this time of government-inflicted economic crisis.

     

    For God and Country.

     

    Ghana First.

     

  • Dr Bawumia: The Digitally Confused Veep

    Dr Bawumia: The Digitally Confused Veep

    Hadji Mustaphar writes…

    The rate at which the dollar is flying and economic hardship all over the place is leading to the fact that the dollar will hit GHC140 to a dollar even before Ghanaians go to the polls in 2024.

    Before assuming power both candidates, Nana Addo and Dr. Bawumia heavily made noise about the continues halting depreciation of the Cedi as against some major trading currencies in the world , which to some extent weakened investor confidence in the country.

    Though some financial analyst at the period between 2012 and 2016 disagreed with the NPP party at the time and alluded challenges and difficulties to doing business in world. The NPP and their appendages rejected such explanations and chastise former Finance Minister Seth Terkpe and former President John Dramami Mahama, and his cabinet for masterminding managerial inefficiency in the governance structure of the country resulting in the depleting strength in the local currency and exchange rate at the forex.

    It is sad to see how a rather potent system is currently gasping for breath under this incompetent and morally weak administration by the NPP and President Nana Addo.

    After 6 years in power the dollar to cedi strength is nothing to write home about.

    The much touted economic management team, has some how been expose and the finance Minister Ken Ofori Atta seem to be living in oblivion.

    Prices of goods and services have shot up by a thousand percentage (1000%) with fuel products being the most hit in record time in the country.

    Vice President Dr Alhaji Mahmoud Bawumia, who claimed to have the magic wand and could even lock the dollar and hand over the keys to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) is no long in charge of the falling and ailing economy due to the unnecessary ecesary projections he revealed through the numerous Public Lectures he had prior and in government.

    Recently the Vice President, has assumed the role of an IT specialist and galavanting at some premium tertiary institutions and engaging students on digital presentation about the economy.

    For me this is the most clueless and satiric Government that I have ever seen as a person in the country.

    It has become very obvious that, the vice President has lost touch on the ground and allies of President has expose his weaknesses to the NPP members and  gradually portraying himself as the most incompetent public personality ever.

    Dr. Mahmoud Bawumia has set out to lead a drive on digitization and digitalization agenda to rebrand the country’s competitive mover advantage in ICT, and ease if doing business in the digital market.

    He recently stated that, he is not shying away from Economic pursuit contrary to what, his detractors want others to believe.

    The economic indicators is not showing a  positive outlook going into the 3rd and 4th Quarters of 2022.

    I will like to call on the Veep President eat humble pie and call on stakeholders within the economic front to brainstorm on the  falling state and poor methodologies required to turn the fortune of the country around before the country sinks deeper and results in the coming days if care is not taken could be disastrous.
