The former Finance Minister under the late President John Atta Mills Dr. Kwabena Duffuor has stated Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia and the NPP government cannot match the economic records of the NDC.
According to him, Ghana’s economic gains under his stewardship as Finance Minister are unmatched adding that the NDC’s successes had global recognition.
“We made it possible and we will do it again because we know how to do it,” he disclosed during the launch of Phase One of a grassroots party empowerment and a self-financing project dubbed the “Ahot)” Project for the NDC party at the Ashaiman in the Greater Accra Region.
He continued “I hear some people are talking somewhere on the economy today, whatever they do or say what we achieved under Professor Mills they cannot do it because they just don’t know how to do it. For almost two years Ghana has adjudged the best-managed economy globally under professor Mills.”
Meanwhile, Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia has attributed the current economic woes and the drastic depreciation of the local currency on challenges in approving the 2022 budget and the Russia-Ukraine war.
According to him, the situation brought about low investor confidence in Ghana’s economy among others.
“The financial markets’ assessments of the 2022 budget, unfortunately, concluded that our projected 40% increase in revenue which underpinned the 2022 budget was not likely to materialize and therefore, our deficit will increase,” he disclosed during Danquah Institute and the NPP’s TESCON organized an event on the state of the economy on Thursday, April 7, 2022.
He continued “The chaotic battle in Parliament over the budget and the passage of the budget did not also help matters. This created uncertainty and signal to the market that government may not be able to get most of its programmes passed in a tightly balanced Parliament. This further reinforced the lack of confidence by investors in the budget.”

NDC. Where were all these people when Mahama knelt before IMF begging them to help him solve Ghana’s Economy after spending three days with Taxpayers money at Senchi. Now you guys have got mouth to talk. I don’t blame you I blame weak NPP communication
Bawumia talks with data and figures, but you people just throw statements out there without anything to support them. "NDC is the best manager of the economy" bring the figures over the years, do a trend analysis and let the data speak for you, not your mouth. But because you know when it comes to figures, NDC's performance is so abysmal, so you avoid the data and just make empty talks. Shameful!
Until Mahama’s governance I thought Dr. Was a true patriotic Ghanaian who meant well for Ghana . How he lowered his principles thought me how a very unpatriotic corrupt government could destroy Ghana! Ghanaians should henceforth profile every politician and find out how they got their wealth before they follow him! Especially the youth ! We do not need non achievers to run government!expecially in their private life!
All this is from the merciful and humble old man who has given that opportunity for you guys to walk about and talk as corrupt as you are. Bring back Ghanaians money you misused from your so called bank. Please give us a break because you don’t have a moral right to criticise the economic wizard Dr Bawumia. I know you still do no understand. NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU
LOOK WHO IS CRITISING SOME YOU DUFFOUR WAS THE ONE WHO WAS THE OWNER OF SHADDY UMB BANK THAT WAS PART OF THE BANKING SECTOR CLEAN UP. AGAIN YOU WERE GETTING INJECTION OF FUNDS FROM MAHAMA'S SHIDDY CENTRAL BANK YET YOU THE REST OF BANKS WERE CLEANING DEPOSITORS MONEY TO DO OTHER BUSINESS TIME WILL TEL ALL YOU NDC CROOKS. THE JUDGEMENT DAY IS COMING. DO YOU THING THE 21 BILLION CEDIS TAXPAYERS MONEY THE GOVERNMENT SPENT WILL GO TO WASTE WITHOUT ALL YOU BEING PROSECUTED INCLUDING JOHN THIEVE MAHAMA.
Sir, please don't go there. Even a common bank you couldn't manage and after going for liquidity support like Mahama Going to IMF you still failed to survive. I will advise you to clear yourself in the court case before you get involve in politics
This man should bring all the stolen money before can talk. Ghana laws don't bite, you should have been in prison by now.
Why all of a sudden these c0rrupt Duffour guy is making so much noise? NPP must put him where he belongs. You have all these ideas and you failed when NDC was in power.
Eish so You do by stealing from your own bank Unibank depositors an amount of Three Billion US dollars ($3,000,000,000.0).
Mahama and his bunch of failed team, including Ablakwa, Ofosu Kwakye have hijacked NDC with Ghana money acquired through Akomfem and Ford deals. Dr Duffour, you did not tell JDM but now you want us to take you serious? No way. My question is: did the achievements listed by Dr Bawumia true or not true? Answer me.
