Here are Mahama’s five ‘Examination Questions’ to Bawumia

The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Mahama has posed five key questions to Vice-President and the presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

The questions centered on the current economic challenges, the foreign exchange rates, Ghana’s rising national debt, soaring inflation and Dr. Bawumia’s key focus on digitalisation as a solution to the economic crisis.

Recounting a time where, Dr. Bawumia posed 170 questions to the then-Vice President Paa Kwasi Amissah-Arthur regarding the state of the economy, John Mahama challenged Dr. Bawumia to demonstrate same transparency and accountability by answering these questions.

John Mahama asked the questions while speaking to NDC supporters at Tatale in the Northern Region on Monday, October 28.

“He used to give lectures every month about how to run an economy, and how to fix the economy. He posed 170 questions to my Vice President Amissah Arthur. He should go and answer the 170 questions himself. Indeed, he shouldn’t answer 170 questions. He should answer only three questions.

”Question 1, he should come and answer. Why is the exchange rate GH¢17 to the dollar?

“Question 2, why has Ghana’s debt risen from GH¢120 billion to GH¢767 billion in eight years? He should come and answer.

“Question 3, why did inflation rise to where it is at 54% under your administration for eight years?

“Then let me add two more. Question 4, why did you borrow GH¢42 billion from the Bank of Ghana? He should come and answer those questions. We don’t need 170 questions. With the 170, if he wants, he can answer them himself. But Ghanaians are asking him four questions.

“He should come and answer those four questions and explain to Ghanaians why we are where we are. The last question is why has he run away from the economy to digitalisation? He used to be talking a lot about the economy. Today he can’t mention the economy, it’s not in his vocabulary.

“Anytime he opens his mouth, digitalisation. Come and talk about the economy. That’s question five. Five questions. Tell him you should come and answer them,” he stated.
