I wonder how you will even beat Kennedy to become the flagbearer, not alone becoming the next president.

That is the way to go we should use our gold to strengthen the cedi boost the purchasing power of Ghanaians to create jobs, in France they have a minister of purchasing power, if we have good purchasing power we shall patronize the local product and exporters we not need to export so they should stop saying appreciation of the cedi hurt their business but that is what brings relief to Ghanaians so the cedi should be allowed to appreciate to a single digit that will bring relief

Bawumia has a big brain full of experience, knowledge and above all common sense. He’s been insulted by fools who know nothing and will never learn. HE WILL BE PRAISED AND EXALTED BY GOD AND THOSE WHO HAVE PROPER KNOWLEDGE AND COMMON SENSE. His name will trend in civilized society and he will assume his crown in the very near future. HATERS ARE NOT GOD AND THEY WILL CERTAINLY BE PUT TO SHAME FOR ALL AND THE WHOLE WORLD TO SEE. TIME WILL TELL.

So needless to insult him. If you claim you can educate him just go ahead rather than the uncalled-for invective. Let's have some civility in our media discourse.

Aside all that, Dr. Bawumia really has brilliant economic ideas. The fear is will he gather the courage to take other critical decisions withoud the powerful ,long-intruding and overly controlling hands of his party kingmakers? It's Ghana and not just a party that this is all about.

His Ghana card policy is now under consideration in the UK. You may not understand or like the guy, but he has good strategic ideas for this country.
