The running mate to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, wasted little time in responding to President John Mahama’s challenge to reveal the cost of the 2007 redenomination of the cedi by urging the President to read and get his facts right.
Describing President Mahama’s challenge as fueled by propaganda and a “demonstration of incompetence” via Facebook, Dr. Bawumia said the President could have simply have asked his running mate, who was Bank of Ghana Governor between 2009 and 2012.
His Facebook post also came with a link to a Daily Graphic report from 2007 that indicated that the redenomination exercise cost GHc 66.2 million.
Yesterday [Tuesday], President Mahama challenged Dr. Bawumia to reveal the cost of the cedi redenomination exercise in 2007.
Speaking at a rally in the Ablekuma North constituency, President Mahama held that since Dr. Bawumia was the Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana at the time of the cedi redenomination in 2007, he should be able to tell Ghanaians how much it cost government to undertake the exercise.
The President Mahama proceeded to accuse the NPP running mate of incompetence and corruption but in his Facebook post, Dr. Bawumia also retorted that such comments embarrass the Presidency.
“Such petty propaganda should be beneath someone of the stature of a President. It is clear he is very poorly briefed, but when a President decides to join the bandwagon of propaganda , he only ends up embarrassing himself,” Dr. Bawumia said.
Find below the full Facebook post.
Mr. President, care to read?
Today’s request for disclosure on the 2007 redenomination is another demonstration of incompetence. Apart from the fact that the then Governor disclosed the cost as far back as 2007, if the President really wanted to find out the cost of the redenomination, he could simply have asked his VEEP who was Bank of Ghana Governor, especially when the President was Head of the Economic Management Team between 2009 and 2012.
Such petty propaganda should be beneath someone of the stature of a President. It is clear he is very poorly briefed, but when a President decides to join the bandwagon of propaganda , he only ends up embarrassing himself.
Moving on, can the President (with the same zeal) and his Economic Management Team respond to the 170 statements contained in my last lecture?

This shows the HIGH RATE of INCOMPETENCE at the Presidency. If he the so called Commander in chief does not know then what about His followers. The Bible says "For Lack of Knowledge MY PEOPLE PERISH". Bawumia take time and School them again. NDC Purely BONDE!!! Mr. President and Mr. Vice No Chalk Read and stop the kind of Incompetence you keep exhibitin'.
THIS EXPLAINS EXACTLY WHY YOU ARE A NEOPHYTE, AND EVER SINCE YOU CAME TO THE SCENE YOU HAVE DISPLAYED SUCH INFANTILE FOREY TILL NOW. WHY DO YOU RUN AWAY FROM QUESTIONS AFTER YOUR SO CALLED LECTURES AND HIDE BEHIND THE CONSOLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA TO ANSWER A RHETORIC QUESTION?? EVEN IN AN ATTEMPT TO DO THAT YOU ENDED UP EXPOSING YOUR IGNORANCE AND S2.UPI.DITY. IF THOSE INFORMATION IS A PUBLIC DOCUMENT HOW COME IT IS NOT LISTED AS SUCH. AND ASIDE FROM THE BALL POINT FIGURE ISSUED BY KWABENA DUFFOUR, WHERE WERE THE DETAILS???? ***barred word*** ABODOMUI.
ITS TRUE THAT MAHAMA HAS NO CLUE AS TO GOVERN.AS THE PRESIDENT IF HE WANTS THE FACTS,HE ONLY HAVE TO CALL THE DEPUTY GOVERNOR WHO IS HIS VICE PRESIDENT TO FIND OUT.THIS REALLY HAS DEMONSTRATED INCOMPETENCE TO THE HIGHEST OFFICE.MAHAMA MUST PACK AND GO.ONLY TIME WILL TELL.
The economist has spoken if u dont understand then hang urself............. i laugh enter flagstaf to give Amissah kalypo to help him answer JM on the redenomination...change is coming
Go and google the word arrogant and u will know the type of people that fit that definition and u will be one of those people. Why cant some ghanaians think small, the man asked a question and Bawumia responded with the best answer and u sit and talk of arrogant. Master go look for a dictionary and read the meaning before talking shiiii*t. If the then governor is with u 24/7 and can give u best answers why should u go and ask another person......dwen kakra wai frank and dont let dir*ty politics blind u
hahaha amazing ooo.lets wait and see wat God has for us
Master u ur mind that God gave u to think small before u comment JM's vice was the governor for BoG by then so if Bawumia says he should have asked him what is the arrogance he is doing. Wise up and reason up small cos if The governor is just behind JM why should he ask Bawumia if not propaganda. Bawumia well done for the best answer
This guy is becoming too arrogant as if he is the vice president already
Mahama is a ***barred word***..bawumia was the the deputy...why don't mahama ask the then governor...mahama you are incompetent indeed
Overrated Bawumia how competent are you?
