Talk About The Economy And Not Big English – Gyampo to Naana Agyemang

Political Science Lecturer at the University of Ghana Professor Ransford Gyampo has urged Prof Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang, National Democratic Congress (NDC) Vice Presidential Candidate to go beyond giving impressive speeches and talk about the economy.

Speaking in an interview he said Naana Agyemang cannot be giving speeches without talking about the economy which is a vital part of governance.

“She did so well in her speech but I think that the challenge is she said nothing about the economy. In a post-COVID regime if you are thinking about how governance has to be carried out after COVID, you cannot talk without the economy. Because you know how COVID is ravaging economies of nations and you do not need to be an economist to talk about the economy,” prof Gyampo stated.

He added, “People debate budget and economic policies of government on the floor of Parliament and they do not know anything about economy.”

Prof Gyampo further explained that Naana Agyemang’s presence is going to make this year’s election competitive. He indicated that many opposition politicians are now being cautious with her because they may end up being accused of attacking womanhood.

“She is one of the reasons why the 2020 elections is going to be competitive, particularly given the fact that people are being cautious.”

“When we started and her name came up people were saying all manner of things. But it seems to me that going forward as time progresses, people are now be cautions,” he stated.

He added, “You are cautious because if you are not careful your comments may be seen as an attack on womanhood.”
