Member of Parliament(MP) for Bolgatanga Central, Isaac Adongo says the country's economy has reached a point of no return with the level of hardship, fuel price increment and the excessive borrowing of the Nana Akufo-Addo-Dr. Bawumia-led government.
According to him, there should be a way out in the next budget to boost the confidence of investors who are planning to sell off their bonds and leave the country.
Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' Morning Show, Isaac Adongo indicated that the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government is unable to fulfil its numerous promises to Ghanaians due to the unavailability of funds.
He, however, wondered why the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia who paraded himself as the 'economic messiah' of the country has suddenly gone mute on the economic situation and rather moved to an area of digitization in which he has no expertise.
He insisted that Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is no longer interested in the dying economy of the country but has abruptly discovered his love for digitization, talking of Ghana Post, Interoperability and paperless transaction which are the brainchild of others.
" . . Dr Bawumia has run away from touted economic expertise to talk about Ghana Post, Interoperability and Paperless transactions at the Port, but the actual economic prowess he was touted for which Ghanaians trusted him for has been abandoned," he said.
“You are rather fronting the achievements of others but the economy that you studied and rose to the point of a lecturer and a doctorate, you have stopped talking about it. Dr Bawumia is now championing someone’s brainchild called digitization; he is taking credit for a blueprint he did not develop,” he chided.

If you keep on just opposing cynically for the sake of belonging to the opposing political party, you invariably tend to expose your incompetence on the blind side of things. This assertion holds for Mr. Adongo when he says: Dr. Bawumia is now championing someone's brainchild called digitalization. I think he should instead appreciate the innovation and modernity stance of Dr. Bawumia to formalize the economy by leapfrogging with the available new technology. Then, we just can't be doing the same thing over-repeatedly and expect different results. In the present, IT world the stress is on the efficient application of digitalization.
Digitisation and economic wellbeing of the people (development) are intertwined. Digitisation is important tool to reduce corruption which is pervasive in Ghana drags our economy down and the main cause of our underdevelopment. Dr Bawumia has a vision and better understanding of economics and is doing something significant to change our economy. Adongo has little understanding of Economics and surprised that he does not know that digitisation is now a branch of economics. Adongo talks anyhow and this is NDC expert.
Bawumiah put up lectures to show the weaknesses in the economy at that time and suggested the way to turn things around. Instead of disrespect and loud mouthing, let Adongo also put up lectures to show why digitization isn't the right way to turn around Ghana's economy. Let's know what he got under his sleeves.
ADONGO. ‘BITTEERS’ These are the Economic brains NDC are boasting of He doesn’t even know the connections between Economics and Digitisation Where were these Loud Mouths when NDC run to IMF BEGGING for IDEAS. DIGITISATION IS THE ADVANCE FORM OF MODERN ECONOMY. THE WORLD IS CHANGING NDC IS SLEEPING IN DARKNESS NPP should wakeup and EXPLAIN some of these things
Another lame duck called a parliamentarian.
