Peter Mac Manu, a former Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), expressed that Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP’s flagbearer, is a highly capable candidate with a well-defined vision for the future of Ghana.
He emphasized that Dr Bawumia has the essential leadership qualities and innovative concepts needed to drive Ghana towards further progress in the coming years.
During an appearance on JoyNews’ AM Show on June 6, he stated, “Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has the foresight and innovative ideas to lead Ghana into a new era of development beyond 2025.”.
I can assure you that, if you say he has run away from the economy, digitalisation is part of the economy. If you are creating a number of jobs, isn’t that part of the economy? And if you say economy, what do you mean because that is a big word. In this modern economy, you cannot take away digitalization.
Mr. Mac Manu reassured the public that the government has implemented strategies to address the issue of currency depreciation. He also emphasized that Ghana is not the sole nation experiencing the consequences of a devalued currency.
If you go to Togo and Cote d’Ivoire, they tell me their currency are tied up to the French Francs or Euros. This is part of the reasons they are trying to rid themselves of the French economy. A governor of a bank in Ivory Coast or Togo depends on the French governor. They are telling me that Ghana’s is better because we hold our destiny in our own hands.
They cannot see how France is dictating to them and how taxes are sent to them in France. Go to Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Mozambique and check their exchange rates, if there has been any improvement compared to the Ghana cedis.
