BAWUMIA IS A FAILED FAKE GURU ECONOMIST THAT GHANA CAN SURELY DO WITHOUT

Ghana is in dire need of a leader who can turn the fortunes of the country around, not a failed fake guru economist who has spent the past seven years working with the current government to mismanage and collapse Ghana's economy. And surely not a fake guru economist who still has not arrested the cedi that he promised he would, or even come up with ideas to revive the comatose economy that he played a key role in its mismanagement and collapse. Why should Ghanaians hand the country over to a failed guru economist Bawumia just for him to continue with his NPP's thieving and incompetence?

The terrible reality is that worldwide, economists do not have a great track record of forecasting or managing national economies. Most get it wrong by a significant degree.
Here is one (from the Hrvard Business Review) of dozens and dozens of research articles which debunk the usefulness of economists.They get it wrong more often than right and this is particularly obvious to serious investors and wealth managers etc. "Are Economic Forecasters Worth Listening To?"
by Peter L. Bernstein and Theodore H. Silbert

WHERE JULOR HOUSE AVENUE INTERSECTS WAHALA VIRUS DRIVE.

Those crossroads were designed and constructed by beggar President Akufo-Addo and his incompetent Aplanke Bawumia. A cross has been laid there in remembrance of Ghana's economy that lost its life at that intersection as a result of the carelessness of Akufo-Addo and his Aplanke Bawumia.

WHo qualifies to be appointed into IMF?

In what MAJOR, must the ECOWAS CHIEf, the AU Secretary-General, the UN Secretary-Genral, these positions, in what field must the candidates be majoring?

I am soo curious.

So will Abedi, Tony Yeboah, Osei Kufuor etc become the GFA President in that sense??

Was Bawumia not the VP of Ghana? When the country needed an economist to steer the country, with the President, Bawumia vanished. He was lost. He should have had the political courage, and tactically and strategically win over the President on his ideas. If he deeply disagreed with the President and the Minister of Finance, he could have resigned, for the good of the country. Please spare us.

Let’s stop blaming Russia/Ukraine and Covid-19. Ghana’s debt level as 2019 was already unsustainable, and the economy was not good before Covid. We received more money from donors for Covid. What did they do with all that donor money plus what we had borrowed. If Russia was a large exporter of rice to Ghana then you can justify its war impact directly on Ghana. What does Ghana import from Russia as a % of our GDP? All that capital was squandered instead of being put to productive use for Ghanaians. If Bawumia knows of where the money is - Swiss banks etc, he should disclose this.

Your first statement... let's put politics aside.
Yet you write a whole article about your political favourite.
You are dishonest

John Dramani Mahama is not an economist, but he will assemble great economic minds to steer the affairs of this country towards development. What did Bawumia do as the head of the ECONOMIC MANAGEMENT TEAM? He jettison it and run to claim credit for the successes at the communication ministry.
