Kwame Owusu Danso, the newly unveiled Vice-Presidential candidate of the Movement for Change/Alliance for Revolutionary Change, has fiercely criticized Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, attributing Ghana’s economic turmoil to his leadership.
Speaking at the unveiling ceremony, Kwame Owusu Danso (KOD) did not mince words as he addressed what he described as the "economic mismanagement" under Bawumia’s stewardship.
"Dr Bawumia, the highly touted economic whiz kid, was introduced to us as the man who had the answers and the magic wand to bring discipline and structure to an ailing economy in 2016," Kwame said. "Yet today, under his leadership, the economy is teetering on the brink of collapse, with the cedi in free fall and prices of basic commodities skyrocketing beyond the reach of the average Ghanaian."
He further questioned the Vice President’s intentions, stating, "Today, the same economic wizard is seeking to become the President while telling us it is possible. The question is, what is possible? The possibility of the dollar rate reaching 50 Ghana cedis by the end of his first term?"
The vice-presidential candidate went on to paint a bleak picture of the current state of the Ghanaian economy, noting that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are suffocating under excessive taxes and high interest rates. He lamented that foreign direct investment has slowed, and local industries are suffering under a volatile business environment.
"The same man who promised stability has delivered chaos," Kwame Owusu Danso stressed, urging Ghanaians not to fall for "empty promises" in the upcoming 2024 elections. He described the Movement for Change’s agenda as one of hope and real change, calling on the nation to unite behind Alan Kyerematen’s Great Transformational Plan.
In closing, Owusu Danso emphasized that Ghana’s economy could be revived, but only with the right leadership. "We are not campaigning for power; we are working for change, for the future of our dear nation."
