With the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) struggling to recover from the damage inflicted on the government by New Patriotic Party (NPP) Running Mate to Nana Akufo-Addo, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Vice-President, Kwesi Bekoe Amissah-Arthur is set to respond and reclaim some of the lost points, as he is set to speak at his own Public Lecture on the theme – “Ghana’s Economy – Separating the truth from fiction”.
An announcement of the event, which was put out first on social media and which the paper has sighted, indicates that Chairman of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF) and former Presidential Advisor, Ato Ahwoi will be the Chairman for the Public Lecture which is also scheduled for the National Theatre, the same venue for Dr. MahamuduBawumia’s Lecture last week.
The event which will come off exactly a week after Dr. Bawumia’s Lecture titled – The State of the Ghanaian Economy – a foundation of concrete or straw; is advertised to kick off at 1pm.
The Vice-President, KwesiBekoeAmissah-Arthur on Sunday gave the strongest indication that he was arming himself to respond to Dr. MahamuduBawumia, who on Thursday, chronicled a tall list of issues backed with empirical data to show that President John Mahama’s government had been the worst government for Ghana’s economy.
Speaking at an NDC rally in Ashaiman, the Vice-President stated “at the appropriate time, we shall respond in full measure to all the lies that have been told; at the appropriate time, we shall correct him and teach him the things that he doesn’t know but thinks he knows.”
The statement from the Vice-President has already drawn general ridicule from the public who have either mocked his attempt to respond to Dr. Bawumia or indicated that if he has anything to teach, he better spends it on fixing the economy as he is the Head of the Economic Management Team.

AMISSA ARTHUR YOU ARE JUST JOKING DON'T COME AND DISGRACE YOURSELF.
WE DON'T WANT A RESPONSE, WE WANT A DEBATE BETWEEN THE TWO PRIOD
it is true, he resembles a donkey.
amissah arthur is a donkey. just look at his face!
Massa; this is getting ridiculous !!!!!!!! by the day ; there we are in an election year after so long of NDC government rule and today we have a so called astute economist being Amissah-Arthur coming to lecture Ghanaians or better still rebutt what Bawumia has already highlighted as flaws within the government -WHAT A MIGHTY JOKE !!!!! ; WAS the man pushed to respond or has he done his proper home work with facts and figures ; is this donkey Amissah -Arthur going to produce facts and figures on all the constructed projects mentioned to prove his case or is this donkey going to rebutt his Bawumias assertions with a cocktail of subjective rhetoric's on the economy ; the funny thing is that you have another NDC grandee Ato Ahoi leading the charge ; this a man who behind the scenes assisted JJ Rawlings to mess our economy ; through various means of colluding corruption sits on the board of all state organisations where there is cash to be made ; what does Ato Ahoi understand in economics ; to me Amissah -Arthur is being pushed by the top grandees in the NDC to come up with some subjective rebuttal to save the NDC because if this guy was as good as the degree he holds our economy will not be in the bad shape that it is today ; his degree is of low quality economics degree and therefore very difficult for him to use the tools of economics to argue his case ; is it just like a law degree holder who although have passed his exams to practice cannot argue his case before a judge; I hope this Amissah -Artur does MESS things up for the NDC ; it must very difficult for the NDC ; as a governor of BOG all the guy was doing was pushing paper around ; this is going to really test Amissah -Arthur !!!!!!and expose the NDC -BIG TIME !!!!! .
Dr, Bawunia lectured with facts and figures and i hope you will do the same but be careful you don't goofe big time.
Good evening ladies and gentlemen. This is your youthful captain speaking... On behalf of the crew and of Akonfem Airways, I would like to welcome you aboard our flight GH419 from Ouagadougou to Bole Bamboi. We will make a brief stopover at Tamale International Airport to pick up some freshly-minted Alhajis and Hajias en route from Mecca. My co-pilot is the competent Capt. Pee Kay A Arthur, with the smooth, urbane Koku as our flight engineer. Mama Anita de Soso is in charge of the cabin crew and they will soon take you through the safety procedures, focusing on where the exits are. Please pay attention. We will be cruising at an altitude of 32,000 feet. Some mild turbulence occasioned by elephant noise is to be expected but we expect an otherwise smooth, yentie obiaa flight. Please relax and enjoy our fine SADA wine, with the compliments of our catering staff, as we taxi endlessly and in circles, building several foundations on the runway for a smooth take off. You will find our in-flight magazine, The Green Book, very entertaining, with beautiful drawings and a cartoon section for kids. You can also plug into our multichannel music system, where a wide range of music, from A Plus' latest hit 'ab3n bebom', to Lumba's 'Yentie Obiaa' is available for your listening pleasure. Once again, welcome aboard. Thank you.
Saayooooooooooo!!! Onukpa b3j3m3lo?? Response should be televised live to the whole wide world. All TVs should pick the feed ooo. Will be something!!1
Paa Kwesi, even your masters degree is questionable oo, so please tread cautiously. The man you want to respond to is a PhD and a very good one. The whole world can attest to that. So Mr vice president, do yourself a favor and find some propagandist excuse to back off. For the sake of the seat on which you sit, mistakenly though, DON'T GO MAKE A FOOUUUL OF YOURSELF. I BEG YOU!!!
