On Friday, September 21, 2018 in an interview with Accra based Power 97.9 FM, the former NDC Asante Regional Youth Organizer and a Communicator Brogya Gyamfi said Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has in the past months subjected himself and the entire Akufo-Addo led government to public ridicule following the government’s inability to deliver on its promises to Ghanaians.
He therefore labelled the Vice President as a disgrace to Ghana.
Brogya Gyamfi and his cohorts should take their time to read the facts well, appreciate them before running around with fabrications and stop behaving like mediocre scholars.
John Mahama's incompetency, his clueless economic management and reckless expenditure contributed to the overwhelming challenges we faced now as a nation.
If Brogya Gyamfi and his propagandist NDC care to know, the performance of the cedi over the years shows that the cedi is recording one of its best performances under Nana-Bawumia administration.
The first 18 months of this government has recorded a marginal depreciation of 7% which is unprecedented in our history.
In the entire 8 years of President Kufuor’s (NPP) rule from 2001 to 2008, the cedi relative to dollar moved from GHc0.7 to GHc1.2, representing a depreciation of 72%.
However, in the 8 years rule of both Presidents Mills and Mahama (NDC) from 2009 to 2016, the cedi depreciated by 247%, moving from GHc1.2 to GHc4.2.
Under John Mahama, the percentage change resulting out of a depreciation of the cedi against the US dollar was 79.24% whilst under Nana-Bawumia, the percentage changed resulting from a depreciation of the cedi against the US dollar is 12.14%
Fiscal deficit has gone down from 9.3% in 2016 to 5.9% of GDP in 2017 with a projection of 4.5% for 2018.
The economic fundamentals are much stronger, deficit is lower, single digit inflation, the debt to GDP ratio is declining, interest rates are also going down and economic growth is increasing among others which attest to the fact that Nana-Bawumia led administration are better managers of the economy and if NDC were in power the situation would have been worse.
The era where the economy was being managed with propaganda, cooked figures and corruption with impunity are over, therefore Brogya Gyamfi and his propagandists should wake up and embrace reality.
The NDC owe it a duty to the nation to provide responsible opposition by offering constructive criticisms for the progress of our country.
NDC failed the nation when in government and should not fail us again whilst in opposition.

Ghana is working again, guys stop the unnecessary fallacies and wait for a while. you wont get anything to say about this Government,you will be dismayed by the progress on the economy. The country from all indications is recovering from its mess caused by the previous government. The nation wreckers(NDC) nearly collapse our country cant you guys see? simple analysis will reveal this to you. thank God we have a Competent President(NANA ADDO DANKWAH AKUFFO ADDO & His ABLE Vice Dr. BAWUMIA)
My kids always refer to this bawumia guy as a comedian. His word are not trust worthy.
Stop the lies and fix the economy.Bawumia is yet to Show Ghanaians that he is an economic wizard. He has been reduced to Managing an economy which doesnt exist anymore.His biggest Achievement is to chase loans which are goe with the wind.indeed an economic wonder kid
So what benefits have we gain as a nation from Bawumia' 170 questions to Amisah-Arthur . Please we the ordinary people are suffering fix the economy and stop the blame game. You promised that there is money in the country but u are still borrowing. You lied to us even our hardships have increased. Why Nana-Bawumia.
There is no difference betwwen the NDC and NPP political and economic Administration. The two wig parties are the same. The incompetency of the NDC government is cleraly reflecting on the shwadows of the current government.My advice is simple, stop blame game and exorts to ghanaians of your readiness to bounce and fix the shattered economy. Ghanaians had confidence in Akkufo Addo and NPP government and based on that they casted their vote to bring you to power so that you eradicate their sufferings.
The NDC knows full well that they are a bunch of liaarrs! What Brogya (or matches) Gyamfi and Sammy Jenfi have been spewing out on air are too naive to be taken serious. Their performance in government was pathetic so they should keep quite and learn. At least, they should play their role as opposition well so as to add value to governance of the nation. Their lies and propaganda will not benefit anyone. If today, nearly 60 years after man set foot on the moon, political players are saying that percentages are not important in assessing the national economy then God save our homeland Ghana. No one can build a read, a house or a bridge without a plan, a survey map, implementation of plan and monitoring of project. Likewise the economic fundamentals are the foundation on which the building blocks of an economy are laid. If the NDC don't understand these basics, they should learn!
Economic Legend? Wait for us in just a yr and half away from today. Let ur English and Economic magic save u wen am buying fuel with high price today? You lied to us into power....2020 will soon be here
The joke of the century, if Dr. Bawumia an economic legend then Ghana is in huge problem,last year he returned from china and promised the whole country that he has secured some $15 billion, maybe it's been deposited in N.P.P's account, we as Ghanaians have not seen any money, he is our vice President, we do not want to bring that office to disrepute so stop daring us for there are a lot we can talk about
It does not need a scholar to tell us that Bawumia has failed the nation and that they are super incompetent. Simple as that. There's no need to do any percentage calculations for comparison which is a waste of everybody's time. Leave Brogya alone, he is not the problem. The problem is the NPP government full of SUPER incompetent 110 ministers. Pls Fix it and stop defending your ineptitude .
brogya gyamfi want a national office to occupy so he will always lie to get that office. ndc will vote for people who can lie and insult to have sympaty from the electorate. live gyamfi alone he will lose to his opponent big time.even your guru amisah arthur could not stand bawumiah. amisa could not answer bawumiahs 170 questions ghanaians do not know amisah will came back to answer those questions.
