Mr. Gatsi, why do you think Bawumia should have compared the past administration to the present one? Remember we are not living in the past. People in NDC always want to make comparison between Kuffour's administration and their administration. Let's say Kuffour did not do well; so will any right thinking person say because Kuffour did not do well Mahama too should not do well? After all Mahama told Ghanaians that he could perform better than the NPP government and that is what Ghanaians expect him to do. NDC should stop taking Ghanaians for a ride. They promised one time premium payment for the NHIS. They could not do that. They could not even sustain the program and now the NHIS has collapsed. They are still telling a different story to Ghanaians.

The interviewer could have gone to ask the expenditure between 2001 and 2008 set against revenue. It would have become clear that we never experienced the level of fiscal deficits we are experiencing now. Debt servicing costs were also not at par with workers' compensation that we have now.

In economics, deficits matter only as a percentage of GDP; Dr. Bawumia knows it but he counts on the ignorance of most of Ghana's political news consumers to take his low ball bait and that is all that matters to Dr. Bawumia. Our economic god, Dr. Bawumia, cannot hold a candle to most of the world renowned economists and he knows it with his hatchet economic lectures. A true economist with no axe to grind would show through data why one economic period may be better on a year by year, local conditions by local conditions and above all global economic trend by trend but he chooses the easy political way out while showing his characteristic intellectual dishonesty when he compares a 2000 to 2009 period when most of Ghana' debt were forgiven enabling the Kufour administration to ride on a clean slate not to mention the ability to carry the national tin cup on a global begging exercise.
The ultimate question for the NPP economists Dr. Bawumia should be why did the Kufour administration leave office with debt on the books for Ghana? Would an effective, efficient, prudent and deficit hawk leave the nation with debt and have the nerve to call out others who add to the national debt as incompetent managers? Is Dr. Bawumia selling the same old tired politics that debt by NPP administration is better than debt left by an NDC administration? Is this not the mental set that has spurred some tribes in Ghana to believe that government level thieves from their tribe did no wrong while government level thieves from other tribes must be crucified and or imprisoned?
Secondly, any good administrator worth his or her weight in gold would put in place best practices and procedures to ensure that those better practices could only be overruled by the appropriate board at the bank of Ghana. Where are those markers Dr. Bawumia left at the Bank of Ghana for subsequent office holders if he wants us to believe he was the demi-god at the Bank of Ghana? It get tiring sometimes reading, listening and watching politics at its worst paraded as intellectual exercise in Ghana by shameless educated elite Ghana has to offer.

If I were to grade Bawumia's lecture, I would have given him a very strong d minus (D-)and recommend the state securities to charge with him sedition. And here is why:
With cooked up statistical figures, he has undermined the credibility of Ghana within the international financial community, to the point that, he even "warned" the IMF to be "careful" dealing with Ghana.
Quite apart from the fact that the figures quoted were haphazardly arranged misrepresentation of irrelevant materials, he allowed the belching in his political stomach to override his cognition (granting that he has it!!). In so doing, he has prostituted the good name of Ghana to feed his own narcissistic political ambitions.
Speaking on the economy is not like writing a term paper with bundled data.
Shame on you.

Has Mamudu Bawumia sat down to think of his freefall discontempt from the descerning public, ever since he's accepted to be used as a canon forda by the NPP. Does he know his most critics come from his own northern people and largely muslim community accros the country?, a constituency for which Nana Addo chose him to represent. Bawumia's image has slumpped to the lowest since his 8 months fruitless struggle at the Supreme Court trying to become Vice President through the processes of the courts. NPP conveniently uses Bawumia for the dirty jobs b'cos that falls within their thinking of who in their opinion the northerners represents. Its rather unfortunate Bawumia finds himself in a situation where he cannot marsal any support from muslim communities and northern voters. Bawumia could go on serving the interest of the very people who'll turn round to insult you as "Pepeni Aboa". For us, Bawumia is serving his own interest and not for any northern tribes or muslim community.

We are sick and tired of these crazy intellectuals who are envious of others so rush to rebuttal when the wizard speaks. Even the international economists believe in Dr Bawumiah, if you have something good go help John Mahama to reverse our country to where they took it in 2009.

It's normal in politics.Bawumia the best.
Now economics has taken a tribal dimension in Ghana. The facts are there us all to see
That's what you NDC people say all the time. When this man sees something about your corrupt and talk about. You always denied it but at the end it turns to be true..
Bawumia can only confuse little minds not all.
NDC'S always confused fools like you not wise once like us.
What about the 50% good part. Forget about his quest to cone to power. Would you please help Mahama with the good 50%?
Has Mamudu Bawumia sat down to think of his freefall discontempt from the descerning public, ever since he's accepted to be used as a canon forda by the NPP. Does he know his most critics come from his own northern people an ...

Ghanaian media should be serious. Gatsi is not an economist. He doesn't have any degree in economics. I am advising him tolook at the rebased expenditure figures during Kufour era and he will never fault Bawumia. I always lis ...

This is even my first time of hearing of this Lizzy chew and pour economist.
You all call yourselves economist while your government is deteriorating the economy. Masa don't bring yourself because you are not and economist.
what is political advantage? did he not deal with the facts. conditions in Ghana are detereorating
Good! well begun.
Who is this Dr. gatsi guy? Why is the use of 2009 - 2014 disturbing? Is that not the period covering Mills/Mahama and Mahama/Armisah and short NDC?
Thank God in your opinion 50% of his spech was not political but of substa ...

Why did Bawumia not mention that in 2008 the world economy had a big jolt? FTSE, DOW and all indices lost 50% of their values. So to pretend Ghana is an island is not helpful. It would have been appropriate if the lecture ...

the name Gatsi is a suspect, so no wonder u are saying this
John Gatsi must spare us this nonsense, if he is a good economist why is he not helping his party to succeed ? Why has ndc sent this country to the ditch if he is really serious ? Of what benefit has Ghana got from his educat ...

Ghana is sinking, don't play politics with what bawumia said yesterday
Even 1% of Dr Bawumiya's lecture was useful even an illiterate can understand what he mean
Dr Gatsi ,you are also doing politics. What has Dr Bawumia not said before and didn't come through? Every thing being done and to be done entails politics, that is why your NDC is in power and failing miserably because of pr ...

See you people...always denying but always eventually admitting the truth....what kind of stupidity is this? Is gh not going down? Aaaaba what @all have some people seen in this party kraaaaa
they will kill him like aliu
5th columnist for the ndc
Are you an NDC activist who hates the truth?IMF is known to have plunged countries in worst conditions.Cave, Ghana!
These are all the reasons why Kennedy Agyapong says NPP people lack wisdom.
masa talk sense
Good for nothing Bawumia is just trying to be tall but there is no amount of words that will make him talk among this Akan party.
He should lean a lesson from ALIU MAHAMA the former vice president.
WOW, WHAT A BRILLIANT ANALYSIS! DR GATSI HAS REALLY DISPLAYED HIS INTELLECTUAL AND ACADEMIC INCLUSION. BESIDES, HE SHOWED OBJECTIVITY AND INTELLIENCE IN HIS ECONOMIC QUESTIONING. THIS IS THE TYPE OF BEHVIOUR AND CONTRIBUTION ...

....and the other 50% was for what???
Even if Dr. Bawumia's lecture was 100% political, he said the truth as it ought to be! He didn't compromise. All he did was reveal the anomalies in the economic statistics and figures put out there by the finance minister and ...

Dr Bawumia has never hidden the fact that he is a politician so what is your beef here? Find something useful to say, naive Mr Economist!
