  SOURCE: starfmonline.com-------The vice presidential candidate of the NPP Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has described President John Mahama as a leader who is “out of touch” with his followers following certain campaign assertions he made during his ‘Accounting to the People’ tour. “For us, this will be a landmark election and in our point of view, the future is really at stake. In the last few years we have seen a major decline in economic growth, when we found oil and due to the oil discovery, GDP growth hit 15%. Today growth has slumped to 3.5%. Behind these numbers is an even more worrying development because in a country like Ghana, you expect to see Agriculture doing well at the very least. “However, Agriculture is almost collapsing. Agric which should be the backbone of the economy is growing at 0.04% as at 2015. Manufacturing growth has also been in the negative for the last 3 years – negative 0.5% in 2013, negative 0.8% in 2014 and negative 2% in 2015. So Agric is collapsing and manufacturing is in the negative and yet our President wants to tell us that our economy is resilient. “Now I don’t understand what resilient means in this context when you look at all the indicators. How can unemployment be increasing, growth be declining, interest rates be high and rising, your debt levels be unsustainable, your health services are deteriorating, you cannot pay teacher training allowances, you cannot pay nursing training allowances, you cannot pay contractors, businesses are collapsing, utility prices are sky rocketing and yet you are claiming that the economy is resilient? This President is clearly out of touch,” the former deputy governor of the Bank of Ghana said. Dr. Bawumia also mentioned the steep fall of the cedi, which was now hovering around 4 cedis to a dollar, after depreciating from GHC1.2 to a dollar in 2009, the four-year ‘dumsor’ scourge and the government’s unbridled borrowing and resort to high taxes, which had killed many businesses and made production in Ghana unattractive

  Please don't sell the hen that lays the golden eggs. What is needed in ECG is efficient managers but not cronies and inefficient managers at the helm of affairs. That has been the bane of Ghana's companies. The government should be ready to fire people who do not work well. Party party members at some positions is killing Ghana.

  Privatisation will put a stop to your concerns which cut across all the political parties. Efficiency is the key word.

  Is JA Kufuor a Ghanaian or British? How can a President of a country be so perfidious and duplicitous? It is con man Kufuor who sold Ashanti Goldfields Ltd. to a British company, Anglogold and leased our rich Obuasi and Bibiani mines to Anglogold for 50 years. In 50 years, Anglogold would have depleted all of our gold deposit underground.
  
  It is this same duplicitous JA Kufuor who sat in his office and singularly negotiated the sale of Ghana Telecom to another British company, Vodafone, for 999 years. WHOA!!! How can one person do so much damage to his people? The question I am asking is this: what did the thief John Agyekum Diawuo Kufuor benefit from the Ghana Telecom deal? We know in the Ashanti Goldfields Ltd. deal, the Queen invited him and Mama Theresa to Buckingham Palace for tea, and the British Parliament knighted his accomplish Sam Jonah.
  
  Is JA Kufuor British?
