A member of NDC Communications team, Fiifi Ankrah has �cuffed� the NPP Vice Presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, that he has no credibility to talk about the current status of the economy. Fiifi Ankrah who was exuded with anger said on Accra-based Hot FM that the former deputy Governor of Bank of Ghana has lost the technical right to advice anybody on the economy since his tenure as a deputy Governor nearly saw the sale of the Ghana Commercial Bank due to his incompetency to man the economy when in service. In unadorned words, the NDC enthusiast said that; �Dr. Bawumia has no credibility to talk about the economy,� adding that; he is not expected to say anything good on the economy. He charged at the economist saying that, Ghanaians were wiser than he thinks and they know what he (Bawumia) did when he was working with the Bank of Ghana. �Bawumia can�t advice anybody on economy,� he stressed. The 2012 vice Presidential candidate of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Bawumia has illustrated that the path and manner in which the Ghanaian economy is being run as indefensible. In an article first published on his face book page, Dr. Bawumia, a former Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana indicated that the NDC government has made economic history by recording the highest budget deficit in the history of the country in 2012, and noted that the record deficit was an indicator of how poor the economy had been supervised in the past four years. Echoing a notice of hard times ahead, the economic technocrat stated that the consequences of the poor management of Ghana�s finance, mounting public debt and record borrowing would fall disproportionately on Ghana�s already suffering poor, with cost of living expected to rise sharply. In respond to his article, Fiifi Ankrah has emanated that, Bawumia should have advised his own people when they were in power. �It is this same attitude that Ghanaians voted them out of power and if they continue to behave like this Ghanaians will not vote for them again,� he concluded.
