The National Democratic Congress has served notice that it will respond appropriately to the Economic Management Team (EMTs) Town Hall Meeting held on Wednesday, which the former described as the "usual populace rhetoric rather than a fact-based presentation" on the economy.
According to the opposition party, the Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's lecture was "full of misleading facts and patent mis-statement laced with populist rhetoric".
A statement signed by the NDC's General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, assured Ghanaians that "the NDC Finance and Economic Team will take advantage of the public lecture organized by the Coalition For Restoration to address the numerous distortions and lay bare the true facts of the state of the Ghanaian economy".
That event is scheduled to take place at Mensvic Hotel, East Legon, on Thursday, April 4th at 1:00pm
The EMT, under the direct leadership of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, this morning challenged political opponents of the government to provide data to prove the economy is on a nosedive.
Speaking at a maiden Town Hall Meeting, the Vice-President sought to assure the public that the economy is on a sound footing with credible data available to support that claim.
“These are based on credible data and let anyone who disagrees bring his data,” Bawumia served notice in his presentation dubbed: “Our progress, Our status, Our future.”
According to him, statistics available indicate the economy is performing better than previous governments. But the NDC says that is more of a lie than a truism.
Below Is A Copy Of The NDCs Statement.
The National Democratic Congress has taken note of the town hall meeting addressed today by the Chairman of the Economic Management Team, H. E. Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia.
In a manner reminiscent of his utterances during the 2016 general election campaign, Dr. Bawumia’s lecture was full of misleading facts and patent misstatements laced with the usual populist rhetoric rather than a fact-based presentation on the economy.
The NDC Finance & Economy Team will take advantage of the public lecture organized by the Coalition for Restoration (CFR)) to address the numerous distortions and lay bare the true facts of the state of the Ghanaian Economy.
The event is scheduled to take place at Mensvic Hotel, East Legon, tomorrow April 4th at 1:00 pm and it is open to all Ghanaians from all walks of life.
Johnson Asiedu Nketia
General Secretary

Shambolic,mediocre a d clueless. How come the dollar was arrested in 3 months and kept under lock .with IGP. Suddenly, we were told by information Minister that players in the forex market misread signals from Bank of Ghana. We are once again told IMF conditionality. How come. Are leaders clueless of Requirement for IMF exit prerequisites. While mahatma built ultra modern hospitals to employ nurses for life and create alternatives for deprived students to access loan from student loan trust.others basking themselves in the glory of paying allowances from national health fund.
NDC must change tactics. Bawumia is too intelligent for Ato, Fifi and Adongo. They need a real economist.
@ @ mtweeeemo if even ndc think in their world they should be with progressives how much more me who believe in progress and prosperity, who believe governance is to give back to the people what they deserve! you are a f000*00l! anyway I know an ndc idi*ot will come over to rebuttal but do I care? Hell NO ! Do ndc know how a country can move forward? then what happened that they couldn't move the country forward when they got the chance but used that opportunity to create l00*00t and share? I'm surprised these people could be so hypocrites to turn 90° to know better but they fake! when we talking about nation building ndc should be the last to comment, the way they mishandled Ghana and the insults and disrespect that came with it! they should know we remember everything
I HAVE A DOG AND BECAUSE THE DOG LOOKS LIKE ASEIDU NKETIA, I NAMED MY DOG MR ASEIDU NKETAH
Hahahahahah Hahahahahahahaha Hehehehehehehehe
If you are not stupiiiiiiid and myopic how can "restoration of teacher training and nursing training allowance" be an achievement of this current government.
If people like you live in Ghana, how can we make a progress as a nation. Very myopic.
It is a healthy sign for Ghana's development that we hear from both sides.But let the data to be presented be authentic.Not cooked figures and the thinking that we were there and it happened like that so yours should be like ours.
Ndc economic team, Ato Forson, Fiifi Kwettey, Seth Terkper, Akua Donkor, Hannah Bissiw, Anita De Sooso, Kwaku Boahen, Sammy Gyamfi and who else ooh Nii Moi Thompson! I know Dr Kwesi Botchway don't have time for F00*00ls these people were all around when ndc failed potooo and Ghanaians swept them away! They fear Dr Bawumiah K3k3, the most fearsome economic wizard in Ghana by the ndc is Dr Alhaji Bawumiah! I'm so proud of him like his Alma mater! who doesn't like good things only ndc because they are mot good themselves, nothing will convince Ghanaians once we've decided to maintain ndc in opposition for good that's all we will do ! they have nothing new than to attack,His Excellency Dr Alhaji Bawumiah posed a question to the ndc to bring their data and stop commenting about what others are doing and I think they are going to bring their data but not trying to copy copy. Ghanaians know you and know how you can fail, find solutions to your failures and stop the insults and hate! behave like human beings and be civil! Note: we are waiting for your insults if you dare than to bring out your data !
