New Patriotic Party (NPP) activist, Dr Arthur Kennedy has taken a swipe at Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia following his comments that the ruling government has managed the economy well.
Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia speaking at a TESCON conference in Cape Coast on Saturday, August 7, had indicated that even though the debt levels have gone up, the economy has been well managed by the ruling government unlike the NDC.
The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has strongly criticized the Akufo-Addo-led administration over the rising public debt.
According to them even though the debt keeps rising, the government has nothing to show for it.
However, Dr Bawumia says, “I want to let you think about one thing; you hear the NDC saying the debt level has gone up. Sure the debt level has gone up, but economic levels have not gone down. The debt level has increased yes . . . but why do we want to maintain a prudent debt level?
According to him, "our debt levels have gone up, but what has happened to interest rate? It has come down. What has happened to growth? It is going up. That is a difference in economic management. There is one that is incompetent and there is one that is competent. If you choose the NDC, you go to the incompetent path and if you choose the NPP, you have competent economic management”.
But Arthur Kenndy disagrees
Speaking in an interview on 'Me Man Nti' programme on Neat FM, he asked the Vice President to go to "Makola" and find out if indeed his comments reflect in the pocket of the traders.
"The Vice President should go back to the classroom; he likes too many theories. He should go to Makola market and tell the traders that the economy is getting better and listen to what they will tell him; I mean come on, really??? I thought it was a joke . . . the economy is doing well for who? the end of an economic policy is to help ordinary people . . . we have schools unable to open because we can't give them money; we have businessmen who are owed millions of money by government for contract and the Vice President is bragging about how great the economy is; really? He should be explaining why things are so bad."

Getting better doesn't mean all is well. We haven't had any time that every Ghanaian has felt all is well. Makola people have always complained but some are building houses and acquiring property. No field doesn't work with theories. Every good practice is backed by theory. Medicine does, so does economics.
If the world economy is doing well China,US, Canada and the Europe would not print 18 TRILLION currency to support their economies. Only last Biden was given go ahead by the senate to print another 1 trillion dollars to salvage the situation. People should google about US treasury of printing money. We thank God the current government has done well so far with the pandemic.Whether we like it or not that is a fact.
We always politicize criticism from the public, how can you say what people are complaining are from another political party? Meanwhile ordinary business people are complaining.
Jealousy will kill Arthur K. A self centered man who thinks of what will go into his pocket and nothing else. You live in the US. How many times have Prez Biden given you stimulus cheques? If it was easy do you think those three cheques would have been paid. Now they are given tax credit for kids. Ghana cannot afford these payments but we are soldiering on. You hater go away from Ghana business.
Whose economy is doing well in the world right now with covid? If NDC was in power today, GHANA would have collapsed. Dr.Arthur K is very jealous of Dr.Bawumia. He must ***barred word***. What Dr.Bawumia said is true.
Another cabal ***barred word*** moron Arthur Kennedy
Dr Arthur Kennedy's comment is driven by hate, too much anger will destroy your personality. Your expectations were not met by the NPP, Nana Addo and the NPP govt is the best thing that could happened to mother Ghana.
Those above here attacking Kennedy - I defecate in your mouths!!!! The economy is not doing well and we should stop pretending that it is.
Good for nothing Arthur Kennedy want attention after Ghanaians looked down upon his uncultured character. Arthur K has been in the overseas and nothing he has done to improve the lives of Ghanaian youth so he should be ignored .He is liability to Ghanaians . He is not adding anything rather talking rubbish all the time
Jealousy will destroy you,
