Ghanaians Blasts Dr. Bawumia After Comments On The Economy [Screenshots]

The ministry of finance led by Hon. Ken Ofori-Atta made it known to the public that the country’s economy was now in a good shape last year.

A year down the lane, after the world pandemic struck the country, the government quickly ran to International Monetary Fund(IMF) to seek a loan to be able to handle the economy and to help sustain the balance of payment.

After COVID-19 was declared by WHO as a pandemic,Ghana was asked to set aside at least an amount of Gh 35million which we couldn’t afford as at then.

Also, the current government’s continuous criticism against the Mahama led government when opposition clearly meant the economy was managed poorly.

In the vice president, Dr.Mahamadu Bawumia’s recent presentation and response to the former president, John Dramani Mahama, highlighted once again that, the economy is in good shape and also asked Mr.Mahama to check his data before commenting.

Many are also of the view that the vice president has failed totally and didn’t have to come out with his comments at all. During the 2016 campaign, the current Vice President, then the running mate, told Ghanaians, ” when the fundamentals are poor, the exchange rate will expose you”.This has stuck into many minds and whenever he mounts a stage to deliver, the question many asks after his speech is if “what is the exchange rate now“

There had been threats by social media users as most of them can’t hold their anger anymore after the Dr.Bawumia comments on the economy once again. Some have labeled him as a comedian since he does more talking than what he preaches .

These are how some reacted to his presentation on social media
