to reveal the cost<\/a><\/strong><\/span> of the cedi redenomination exercise in 2007.<\/p>\nSpeaking at a rally in the Ablekuma North constituency, President Mahama held that since Dr. Bawumia was the Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana at the time of the cedi redenomination in 2007, he should be able to tell Ghanaians how much it cost government to undertake the exercise.<\/p>\n
President Mahama proceeded to accuse the NPP running mate of incompetence and corruption but in his Facebook post, Dr. Bawumia also retorted that such comments embarrass the Presidency.<\/p>\n
\u201cSuch petty propaganda should be beneath someone of the stature of a President. It is clear he is very poorly briefed, but when a President decides to join the bandwagon of propaganda , he only ends up embarrassing himself,\u201d Dr. Bawumia said.<\/p>\n
Find below the full Facebook post.<\/strong><\/p>\nMr. President, care to read?<\/p>\n
Today’s request for disclosure on the 2007 redenomination is another demonstration of incompetence. Apart from the fact that the then Governor disclosed the cost as far back as 2007, if the President really wanted to find out the cost of the redenomination, he could simply have asked his VEEP who was Bank of Ghana Governor, especially when the President was Head of the Economic Management Team between 2009 and 2012.<\/p>\n
Such petty propaganda should be beneath someone of the stature of a President. It is clear he is very poorly briefed, but when a President decides to join the bandwagon of propaganda , he only ends up embarrassing himself.<\/p>\n
Moving on, can the President (with the same zeal) and his Economic Management Team respond to the 170 statements contained in my last lecture?<\/p>\n
