Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia has stated that he was right by referring to ex-President John Dramani Mahama as an incompetent person during the 2016 electioneering period.
Dr Bawumia said the positive impact that just a fraction of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government’s policies and programmes has made in the lives of Ghanaians so far clearly buttresses his claim that the ex-Ghanaian leader was indeed incompetent.
The vice president observed that in just three months in political office, the NPP administration has been able to introduce proper policies that have bettered the living conditions of the majority of Ghanaians.
He said the government has restored the teacher and nursing trainee allowances, taxes on spare parts had been removed, VAT on domestic airlines had been quashed, financial services VAT taken away and Kayayei levy removed, just to mention but a few.
Jabs NDC
The vice president wondered why the NPP has been able to make strong impact in the lives of the people with its policies in less than 100 days in office, but the NDC, with a lot of funds at its disposal, could not do anything to help the people in eight years.
Incompetence Tag
“You can now see clearly the difference between competence and incompetence that I talked about during the campaign period,” Dr. Bawumia said, whilst addressing NPP victory rally at the Jubilee Park in Kumasi, yesterday.
He said the NDC government had huge gold and oil revenue at its disposal but because of incompetence, it was not able to introduce programmes that would have positive impact in the lives of the citizenry.
Dr. Bawumia said the NDC government was not able to pay teacher and nursing trainee allowances, monies due contractors were not paid, school feeding programme and all other social intervention programmes were about to collapse due to the lack of visionary leadership.
He stated that extreme hardship was the order of the day when the NDC was in power, noting that the unpleasant trend would be reversed soon by the NPP government, led by Nana Akufo-Addo.
According to him, what the NPP, under Nana Akufo-Addo, has achieved in less than 100 days, indicates that all the adjectives that he used to criticize the NDC administration, including Mr. Mahama as an incompetent person, were appropriate.
Jobs Coming
Dr. Bawumia was of the view that Ghanaians have not seen anything yet, saying that what the NPP government had achieved within just 90 days, which had gladden the hearts of the masses, is just a tip of the iceberg.
According to him, the weak economy which the NPP inherited from the NDC would see significant positive growth when the NPP eventually rolls out its major campaign promises so Ghanaians should watch out.
The vice president hinted that free education policy, zongo development fund and all the other promises that the NPP made during the campaign would soon see the light of day to improve the living conditions of the people.
He said the NPP government is yet to hit the road, saying that government would soon introduce a lot of programmes that would lead to a booming economy whereby the private sector would be a force to reckon with.
Dr. Bawumia indicated that the NPP government’s policies would result in provision of jobs for the energetic youth, who roamed about the streets without doing anything during the NDC era.

I AGGREE WITH BAWUMIA ON MAHAMA BEING INCOMPETENT BUT DISAGREE TO THIER COMPETENCE YET. HOW CAN YOU HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE DOING THE SAME JOBS THAT FEWER MEN HAD DONE IT BETTER AND CLAIM COMPETENCE IN THESE EARLY TIMES? EFFICIENCY IS DOING A LOT WITH FEWER REOURCES AND NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND. HE SHOULD PRODUCE RESULTS AND STOP TICKLING HIMSELF
This clown of a Veep cannot realise that we are done with campaign and must change mode to governance. ***barred word*** par excellence
Competent government using 110 ministers i can;t think far, a competent person use small people to achieve a big aim. you are a joker
I have confident in this NPP Government. With time Ghana will be better. Bawumaih is a great guy with economic knowledge. Nana Addo is not corrupt and I hope he will jail all corrupt guys including those in NPP if found guilty. For the NDC guys who chop chop everything everywhere, stand well.
This same insults sent us to opposition yet we are still insulting on all platforms. NDC will rot in opposition because our attitude stinks. Ghanaians don't joke with morals, yet all we know is attack, attack, attack.Look at how Ayariga formulated this bribe story only to be supported by these sharp teeth babies in parliament. You think discerning Ghanaians are blind? You can rent Kwesi Pratt and the rest to make noise for you but any good brain in Ghana can tell about the lies. Hmmmm! time will tell.
THIS BAWUMIAH GUY IS AN ASSET TO THE NATION. NO NEED TO INSULT HIM BECAUSE HE IS TELLING THE TRUTH. NDC WILL BE IN OPPOSITION FOR LONG B'COS NPP CAN DO THE JOB. NDC ARE SELFISH AND DIDN'T HAVE THE NATION AT HEART. WE MUST CHANGE ELSE WE SHOULD FORGET ABOUT POWER.
NDC tremble at the name of Bawumiah. How they wish they have just a single individual who could match even quarter of Bawumiah's intelligence but no one. So they will insult. Opposition is your place NDC and not until the next 24 years by that time you will be like CPP.
NPP's 3 months is far better than Mahama's 8 years. When people with brains are talking then water filled heads in NDC wants to attack. You lack what it takes even to comment. See how one person can just sit and comment under so many names on this articles. However the F00OLISH trademark of NDC just betrayed him because he couldn't even distinguish between his/her comments.
The propaganda team just distributed money to the NDC Footsoldiers on Social Media to attack Dr Bawumiah and make things uncomfortable for me. Tweaa!! You guys are not even wise. If you want to attack Dr Bawumiah, not on social media. Bring men of intellectual capabilities to face him. Do you have one? No!! Paa Kwesi is good as dead horse. Ato Forson? He is only good to teach Economics in Secondary School. Or the F00OL MPS; namely Sam George, Suhiyini, Okudzato, Nii Lantey? Empty Barrels.
when stup1d1t7 clouds someones judgement, he talks by heart.
