A former Deputy Minister for Communication, Felix Ofosu Kwakye has asked Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to educate his boss, President Akufo Addo on the meaning of GPS instead of former President John Mahama.
“It does not lie in the mouth of the Vice President to come and purport to educate President Mahama on anything…with the greatest respect to the President, I doubt if he understands what GPS stands for…if he has any education, he should reserve it for his boss, the President whom I believe, President Mahama stands heads and shoulders above…” he said.
Dr Bawumia has described John Mahama as ‘clueless’ after the latter described the Ghanapost GPS system as ‘419’ scam.
Addressing NDC party faithfuls who had gathered in Cape Coast after their unity walk, the former President asked President Akufo Addo to hold accountable those who were involved in the launch of the 'fraudulent' system which he described as a “419” scam.
“How can you launch a Google GPS system that is freely available on our mobile phone and say it is a national addressing system. It is such a pity. Why will you embarrass the president so much? You go and take a whole president to bring him to come and launch a system that is 419…when we talk about accountability; this is where the president should show that he is serious about corruption. Somebody must account for 15 million giving away free of charge” Mahama said.
However, Dr Bawumia in respond said: "when I read his reasoning for such a description, it was evident to me that he has no clue about what he was talking about and was just engaged in parroting propaganda. I actually had a good laugh. Let me therefore take this opportunity to educate him and others who may think like him about Ghana’s landmark digital property addressing which has been achieved in less than one year, something his government could not do in eight years!"
Reacting to this in an interview on Citi FM’s eyewitness news, Monday, Ofosu Kwakye asked the Vice President to “respond directly to the allegation and stop the name calling”
“It must be noted that the Vice President is by no means an IT expert; so what he read out today was merely what he would have been told by the people who developed the App. Several experts have pointed out deep flaws in the app which do not justify the amount of money that have been invested in it. What government ought to do is to take on board criticisms of the experts who have spoken and look into talk about inflation of this app” he added.

Where from this young man ? Has he ever sit down and reflect about his line of argument? I don't know but he almost always appears to me as not being thoughtful in his line of argument. If he is learning from Dr. Tony Aidoo to then he should learn it well. He always poses noise instead of wisdom. I wish never speak for NDC again.
The vip keeps insulting president Mahama right from campaign to election and some see nothing about that, now Ofosu speaks and some of you think he is bad? this so called vip, the liar Bawumia should know better that he can't get away with the 419 GPS like he got away with all the lies before. He will be matched boot for boot from now on.
it a pity to see this this guy again, he lost his voice when NDC lost but resurfaced to talk ***barred word*** when his paid master showed came out to talk loose like they did during the election campaign
Politics is gradually bringing down good morals Ghanaians are known for. How can Ofosu Kwakye talk like that to the Veep? interesting times ahead.
what ***barred word*** are you saying,did you expect Dr Bawumia to be quit about an ***barred word*** statement from Mahama, all he did was to correct him.. pls let Mahama know he is a formal president so he should mind his words, and we are not in election year wai...
The "useful i-d-i-o-t" at his best as usual. What explanation does he want from Bawumia. Anytime you NDC guys go head-to-head with Bawumia, he floors all of you but you don't ever seem to learn any lessons. Choobi guys wise up.
THIS NDC WAN---- KERS WILL LEAD GHANA TO CIVIL WAR.
Incompetent baby with sharp teeth Ofosu Kwakye please tell your clueless boss Mahama not to talk on something he has no clue and to seek education on the GPS.
At times I cry for my country. Why should this even be an issue to content with. Such arrogant from Ofosu Kwakye and Dr Omane Boama saw to the defeat of the NDC. The two gentlemen are men of their class and speak for themselves. In any case where was the Former President when SSNIT gargantuan scandals was committed and none of them voice out anything. Please allow Ghanaian's the luxury of determining what this current administration can do so we can judge them.
U do NOT understand a system it is explained to u and now u shift goal post and attacking the President. Please download the App Go and stand in front of ur house and get ur house code. Which experts is this boy talking about? Don't u realize these so call experts are misleading u?. Anybody sitting somewhere says he is an expert and u believe him? Please get a life find work to do with ur so call masters in oil and gas.
