But the Chief Director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Leslie Kojo Christian who dismissed the rumour in an interview with Kasapa FM’s Editor, Emmanuel Ohemeng disclosed that the organizers and Dr Bawumia have been cleared to use the facility.

The NPP Running mate who’s a renowned Economist and Banker’s Lecture is themed:“The State of the Ghanaian Economy : A foundation of Concrete or of Straw”.

The event which starts at 4.00 pm will be chaired by Former President John Agyekum Kufuor.

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia who is a former deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana has in recent times argued that the key sectors of the economy are contracting and stagnating which explains for the reason why the economy is not growing.

The Ghanaian economy, according to him, is the one that critically requires a re-engineering to boost drivers of the economy.
