Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia has stated that he was right by referring to ex-President John Dramani Mahama as an incompetent person during the 2016 electioneering period.
Dr Bawumia said the positive impact that just a fraction of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government’s policies and programmes has made in the lives of Ghanaians so far clearly buttresses his claim that the ex-Ghanaian leader was indeed incompetent.
The vice president observed that in just three months in political office, the NPP administration has been able to introduce proper policies that have bettered the living conditions of the majority of Ghanaians.
He said the government has restored the teacher and nursing trainee allowances, taxes on spare parts had been removed, VAT on domestic airlines had been quashed, financial services VAT taken away and Kayayei levy removed, just to mention but a few.
Jabs NDC
The vice president wondered why the NPP has been able to make strong impact in the lives of the people with its policies in less than 100 days in office, but the NDC, with a lot of funds at its disposal, could not do anything to help the people in eight years.
Incompetence Tag
“You can now see clearly the difference between competence and incompetence that I talked about during the campaign period,” Dr. Bawumia said, whilst addressing NPP victory rally at the Jubilee Park in Kumasi, yesterday.
He said the NDC government had huge gold and oil revenue at its disposal but because of incompetence, it was not able to introduce programmes that would have positive impact in the lives of the citizenry.
Dr. Bawumia said the NDC government was not able to pay teacher and nursing trainee allowances, monies due contractors were not paid, school feeding programme and all other social intervention programmes were about to collapse due to the lack of visionary leadership.
He stated that extreme hardship was the order of the day when the NDC was in power, noting that the unpleasant trend would be reversed soon by the NPP government, led by Nana Akufo-Addo.
According to him, what the NPP, under Nana Akufo-Addo, has achieved in less than 100 days, indicates that all the adjectives that he used to criticize the NDC administration, including Mr. Mahama as an incompetent person, were appropriate.
Jobs Coming
Dr. Bawumia was of the view that Ghanaians have not seen anything yet, saying that what the NPP government had achieved within just 90 days, which had gladden the hearts of the masses, is just a tip of the iceberg.
According to him, the weak economy which the NPP inherited from the NDC would see significant positive growth when the NPP eventually rolls out its major campaign promises so Ghanaians should watch out.
The vice president hinted that free education policy, zongo development fund and all the other promises that the NPP made during the campaign would soon see the light of day to improve the living conditions of the people.
He said the NPP government is yet to hit the road, saying that government would soon introduce a lot of programmes that would lead to a booming economy whereby the private sector would be a force to reckon with.
Dr. Bawumia indicated that the NPP government’s policies would result in provision of jobs for the energetic youth, who roamed about the streets without doing anything during the NDC era.

This f0000lish BAWUMIA has to fix the cedi and stop talking shitttt because since they came to power we have not seen anything. The only thing we see is gangs going round beating people and killing people.
AS FOR PRESIDENT MAHAMA HE IS A ***barred word*** BECAUSE HE HAS ALREADY BEEN INSULTED TO THE EXTEND THAT HE LOST AN ELECTION WITH A BIG MARGIN. PRESIDENT MAHAMAH IS ALREADY ON THE GROUND AND THEREFORE FEARS NO FALL. YOU GUYS, SHOULD ADVICE PEOPLE LIKE DR. BAWUMIA TO BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT THE CHOICE OF WORDS HE USES TO DESCRIBE PRESIDENT MAHAMA, BECAUSE HE IS ENCOURAGING THE NDC TO CALL PRESIDENT NANA ADDO WITH SIMILAR WORDS AND I HOPE WHEN IT STARTS, NOBODY WILL BE ARRESTED SINCE NO NONE WAS ARRESTED WHEN PRESIDENT MAHAMAH WAS BEING INSULTED LEFT AND WRIGHT. BAWUMIA CLAIM IS THAT THE POLICIES THEY HAVE INITIATED IN 90 DAYS HAS INURE TO THE WELL BEING OF GHANAIANS AND WE ARE BETTER OF. IF THIS IS NOT CHILDISH TALK THEN IT IS MERE POLITICS.
we believe in your competence Dr. that is why we voted u into power. we have no doubt that things will be better as time goes on. just maintain a good fiscal discipline, bring corruption to the lowest point possible and throw out anybody who may be developing sharp teeth in your govt. i dont know what the ndc ple's problems are. after all they said opposition is sweet, yet they sent their blockheaded ed1ots to this platform to write rubbish. we dont have their time and will not join them in their state of confusion.
NDC is disintegrating. Bawumiah speaks and its a bomb to NDC. Look at how they are struggling on the platform. Hahahahahahaaa
The best Economist alive in Ghana. NDC fears him like kakai. Bawumiah will keep NDC in opposition for the next 16 years. Who in NDC can match him for a second? No one!!
this bawumia man is a block-headed person. he has a dead brain. he is suffering from brain dishonesty
NDC will die doing propaganda. That is all they know. when competent people are talking and solving issues they make noise with their incompetent propaganda. People are now crying for Mahama to come and lead NDC again bcos they fear they will be booted out should Papa J take his party. Hahahahahaha!
How do you expect different results to come by doing the same thing? The people who governed with few 'y3nkydi' ministers like Mahama failed woefully. Mahama is the worst president ever in Ghana. FACT!!! Brains are working so keep quite in opposition. If you(NDC) were competent you would not have suffered such a humiliation defeat. The worse ever in Ghana.
