Member of Parliament for Jirapa Constituency Cletus Seidu Dapilah claims that Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the party’s 2024 flagbearer, is acting in opposition to what he criticized during his time in opposition.
Mr. Dapilah emphasized that Dr. Bawumia looks for methods to circumvent the law to help the administration or himself whenever talks emerge about how the government is acting in opposition to what they have criticized.
He emphasized how aware Ghanaians are of the tactic.
Speaking on Thursday, February 15, on JoyNews’ AM Show, the Jirapa MP said that inflation under Dr. Bawumia surged to an astonishing 54%, a first for the Fourth Republic’s history.
“54% inflation under the economic Messiah. The dollar went to even 18 Ghana cedis and 15 Ghana cedis under Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. Fuel prices were skyrocketing under Vice President and now flagbearer Dr. Bawumia and GDP is ranging between 100% and 103% under Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
“President Nana Addo said that I am picking Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia because of his economic prowess. He is the one I would entrust with the economy.
“He is the one who would make sure that jobs would be created and that we would record good economic indicators.
“So today, Dr. Bawumia is running from the minuses in this government but wants to accept the positives,” he said.
Dr. Adomako Kissi, the NPP MP for the Anyaa-Sowutuom seat, disagreed with Mr. Dapilah during the same program, pointing out that not all of Dr. Bawumia’s proposals were taken into account.
