Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, has tasked his main contender in the 2024 election, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, to answer certain questions regarding the economy.
Mr. Mahama stated that, unlike the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, who posed 170 questions to his late former Vice President, Paa Kwesi Amissah Arthur, he needs just five answers.
Addressing electorates as part of his Northern Regional campaign tour, the former President emphasized that the cedi is still struggling to find its feet.
“He posed 170 questions to my Vice President Amissah Arthur, but he should just answer these five questions on the economy,” he said.
Below are the questions Mr. Mahama seeks answers to with 39 days remaining until the December 7 election:
- Why is the exchange rate GH₵17 to the dollar?
2. Why has Ghana’s debt risen from GH₵120 billion to GH₵767 billion in eight years?
3. Why is inflation where it is; why did it rise to 54% under your administration for eight years?
4. Why did you borrow 42 billion from the Bank of Ghana(BoG)?.
“He should come and answer those questions; we don’t need 170 questions. he can answer them willingly but Ghanaians want answers to these five questions,” he added.
5. Why has he run away from the economy to digitalisation? he used to make so much noise but now he is all about digitalisation.
