The New Patriotic Party Flagbearer Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia is bankrupt of ideas and lacks the credibility in his maiden public statements.
He is of the view that the Vice presidents lack the leverage to impact the country positively, as he was part of the economic team that, destroy the economic fundamentals of the country.
Dr. Ibrahim Zuberu a Senior Lecturer of Accra Technical University said this on Adekyee Mu Nse morning show on Ahotor 92.3 FM hosted by citizen Kofi Owusu in Accra.
He reiterated that the NPP as a party have taken Ghanaians for granted, and dose not speak to the truth and facts about the economy and there is nothing new about his public political speech delivered in Accra. And they don’t have the minds of their own, rather rehashing economic policies any time he comes out.
In another development, the Vice President’s promise to scrap some taxes when elected as President of Ghana in the upcoming general election.
Dr. Bawumia in his address to ministers, leadership of the NPP and party supporters at UPSA in Accra, also mentioned specifically that the controversial Electronic Transaction Levy also known as E-levy will be abolished in his next government.
Commenting on the presentation delivered by the Vice President, the senior political science lecturer questioned why the Vice President is not taking immediate action on some of the promises in the parts seven years.
“Parts of the presentation was an indictment on the government of which he is part, in a manner that raises serious questions and vindicates those of us who have been critics of the government.
“Promising to have not more than 50 Ministers when you are part of a government of over 100 Ministers; and promising to abolish some taxes like the Emissions tax, Gaming Tax, E-Levy, VAT on electricity consumption etc makes some of us feel vindicated for criticizing and calling for downsizing of government and the abolition of such nuisance taxes,”
