John Dramani Mahama wants Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia removed as the Chairman of the Economic Management Team with an immediate effect.
 
He is calling for a ‘fresh brain’ to occupy the opposition to save the country from its current economic challenges.
 
To him, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia's self-praise as the ‘messiah’ of Ghana’s economy was a scam.
 
“The current head of the Economic Management Team [Dr. Bawumia] has clearly fallen from his ivory tower as a self-styled economic messiah to a poster boy for economic mismanagement, and his leadership of the Economic Management team is no longer tenable,” Mahama said at his ‘Ghana at a crossroads’ lecture in Accra on Monday.
 
He added that the entire membership of the economic management team must be revised.
 
“The economic management team has failed and must be reconstituted immediately with fresh ideas and perspectives having supervised the worst public debt build-up, worst budget deficit, worst debt to GDP ratio, worst credit rating downgrade, worst-performing currency in the world, worst crisis of confidence in the economy,” The 2020 flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) noted.
