Bawumia’s Town Hall Meeting ‘Useless’ . . . He Should Fix The Economy - Otokunor

Deputy General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Boamah Otokunor has described Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s upcoming Town Hall meeting to discuss Ghana’s economy as “useless”.

He said his party has “no interest” in Bawumia’s discourse after ordering him to “fix the economy” than the “plenty talks which will not benefit anyone.”

“Bawumia should know that he is no more a running mate, he is the Vice President of this country so he must work to fix the economy. What benefit will Ghanaian gain from his lecture?” he questioned in an interview with NEAT FM’s evening political program ‘Torchlight’ with Mac Jerry Osei Agyeman. 

Vice President Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia is expected to lead an economic management team town hall meeting with stakeholders on the economy on April 3 in Accra. 

Minister for Information Kojo Oppong Nkrumah who disclosed this at a Press briefing in Accra said the Vice President who is also the head of the Economic Management Team will be speaking on the theme “our progress, our status, our future”. 

He said the Town Hall Meetings are designed to bring government closer to the people and shall therefore see State actors give an account to the people who also have an opportunity to ask questions and make contributions to the local and national development process.
