Maverick politician and leading member of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Kennedy Agyapong has challenged Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to fix the country’s economy.
According to him, the NPP is now eating back its words after the party led by then flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo told then NDC government to fix the economy if it’s broken.
The Minister of Finance Ken Ofori-Atta has assured the government is on course to seal leakages in the system which are affecting revenue mobilization.
He has given an indication that the government is resorting to different mechanisms to block the leakages while investigation is also ongoing into some of the cases.
Speaking at the National Policy Summit in Accra Monday, Mr. Ofori-Atta noted most of the leakages are occurring in the daily lives of people and not necessarily by politicians.
But Hon. Kennedy Agyapong who is also the Member of Parliament for Assin Central speaking on Adom TV said, Ghanaians are not ready for any excuses but to see the economy growing and making it possible for the masses who are unemployed to find jobs.
“Now our own words we’re chewing it, Ghanaians voted for us to fix the economy which was destroyed by the NDC. So no theories anymore, they’ve given you the power and we don’t want to hear excuses. All we want to hear is that we are going to fix the economy and make sure the teeming unemployed youth get job. So just as Nana Akufo Addo asked President Atta Mills to fix the economy, Dr Bawumia should do same.”

Akompreko, you're my mentor but today you have spoken like 2yrs child, pls try and mentain your honourable ship.
Yes they have to fix the economy, no excuses or stories. They should ***barred word***. If the economy is broke, fix it. Hon Kennedy Adjapong, you are my man and you will continue to be.
Who is Bawumia? He is nothing in the akufo addo government. BAwumia can tickle himself that he is the vice president but in reality he is nothing. Facile ken agyapong should address that statement to akufo addo and osafo marfo
Surely you will eat back your words. You guys have failed Ghanaians.
How can this economy be fixed in this short term. Ken sh.ut u.p and let those who can do it continue to roll out the policies. Please we do not want any pressure on them. Be silent and call their if you see something wrong. And again why Bawumia and not Nana?
A GOOD ONE THERE !!! HON. KEN
... Akofo Addo didnt tell J.Mahama to fix the economy, he told the president not the vice. Why address this to Bawumia instead of Nana?
