Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has branded former President John Mahama ideological bankrupt after his over 30-years career in politics.
He said Mr Mahama has no single transformational policy to his credit after spending over 30 years of his adult life in Ghana’s political space.
The NPP, unlike the NDC, Dr. Bawumia mentioned had implemented several policies which have benefitted and continue to benefit the majority of Ghanaians.
Addressing party supporters at the Greater Accra Regional Residency in Accra, the Vice President said Mr Mahama will be fondly remembered by Ghanaians for the power crisis (‘dumsor’) and the guinea fowls that were never recovered under the SADA project.
“Do you know that John Mahama has been in politics his entire adult life? Over 30 years. He has been an Assemblyman, Deputy Minister to Minister then, Vice President and then President. But can you mention a single transformational policy that he has implemented? Dr Bawumia quizzed.
“Just mention one but there is none, only ‘dumsor and guinea fowls’, that’s all… But with the NPP, we have Mobile Money Interoperability, One District One Factory, Digital Address, Free SHS, Zongo Development Fund. In fact, there is so much we have done,” he stated.
Seeking answers
The Vice President further indicated that he has other 500 other questions reserved for the NDC.
Dr Bawumia had also pointed out that the Akufo-Addo-led government had created more sustainable jobs than any government in Ghana’s history.
“During the NDC administration, there were no jobs, they created unemployment instead of employment, but these days, there are jobs everywhere. I have been looking at the data lately and we have created 2.1 million jobs.
“975, 000 are in the private sector, 1.2 million in the public sector, this is verifiable and identifiable data which is available. We are not done yet because there are more jobs for us to create. But when it comes to job creation, no government since Independence has created more jobs than the government of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo…Anybody can challenge me and I will provide the data.
“But we want to do more, we want to get to the promised land. We can be a Dubai, we can be a South Korea, we can be a Singapore, it is possible,” he indicated.
