Bawumia Engaged In Uninspiring Monologue Of Self Justification Of His Abysmal Failure – Sam George

Ningo Parmpram Member of Parliament Samuel Nartey George has said the Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia engaged in a monologue to justify his failure as head of the Economic Management Team.

In the view of Sam George, Dr Bawumia’s presentation lacked a clear workable solution to the economic challenges facing the country.

“tatters and even the jestful Bawumia forgot his jabs, jokes & quibs yesterday. He clearly has been humbled by the Ghanaian economy and he needs a bail-out. Whilst we figure out a rescue plan for Bawumia & his EMT, let us remind him that his silence on the e-Levy was noticed,” he tweeted.

Dr Bawumia in his address said among other things that Ghana is directly affected by the ongoing geopolitical tension between Russia and Ukraine.

He explained that Russia accounts for some 30 per cent of Ghana’s imported grains , 50 per cent of flour and 39 per cent of fertilizer.

“The increase in commodity prices has been exacerbated by the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Russia and Ukraine together account for 30 per cent of the global wheat export. The longer the conflict the greater will be the disruptions to global food supply. The country is also likely to slow global growth.
