National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi has taken a swipe at Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for not tackling the real economic issues.
He is asking the Vice President to sit up and stop peddling falsehood to Ghanaians.
This is in reaction to the digitalisation lecture of Dr Bawumia at the Ashesi University on Tuesday, November 2, 2021.
The lecture organised on the theme “Transforming an economy through digitalization: The Ghana story,” saw Dr. Bawumia stressing the gains of the ruling government since it started its digitalisation agenda.
After monitoring the lecture, Sammy Gyamfi says most of the things the Vice President talked about is of no importance when Ghanaians are still facing hardships presented by the weak economy.
“Of what use is “E-this and E-that” to the ordinary Ghanaian who is jobless and cannot even afford to buy mobile data to access these digital platforms?
“Ghana’s economy is currently in tatters due to the crass economic mismanagement of the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia NPP government. Our ever-rising Public Debt has reached an alarmingly unsustainable level.
“The rate of unemployment is on the rise and cost of living has become unbearable for the vast majority of Ghanaians. “kromAyeshe” and Ghanaians are suffering,” part of a statement on the Facebook page of Sammy Gyasi reads.
Sammy Gyamfi insists that the answer to Ghana’s problems do not lie in holding lectures on digitalization.
He said Dr. Bawumia must sit up and stop peddling falsehood.
Below is the full statement from Sammy Gyamfi:
SAMMY GYAMFI WRTES ON HIS FACEBOOK WALL:
Of what use is E-Pharmacy to the ordinary Ghanaian who is reeling under excruciating economic hardships as a result of the introduction of excessive taxes and steep increases in fuel prices by the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government?
Of what use is “E-this and E-that” to the ordinary Ghanaian who is jobless and cannot even afford to buy mobile data to access these digital platforms?
Digitalization is good. It helps people to do things effectively with ease. The NDC/Mahama administration has a superior record in that regard. See https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=416276186567141&id=100045542882464 . But digitalization is useless, unless it is linked to the economic empowerment of the people.
Ghana’s economy is currently in tatters due to the crass economic mismanagement of the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia NPP government. Our ever-rising Public Debt has reached an alarmingly unsustainable level. The rate of unemployment is on the rise and cost of living has become unbearable for the vast majority of Ghanaians. “kromAyeshe” and Ghanaians are suffering.
The answer to these problems doesn’t lie in the organization of lectures on digitalization. Dr. Bawuliar should sit up, stop peddling falsehood and fix our broken economy. That’s what Ghanaians expect from him as Head of the Economic Management Team of government.
