Journalist and Host of Badwam on Adom TV, Omanhene Kwabena Asante, has described the lecture of the Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central at the Economic Lecture Series organised by the opposition NDC as a lecture full of ‘Concert Party’ which is performed at the National Theatre.
According to him, the first three speakers on the day said nothing substantial. He said apart from John Jinapor who raised some pertinent issues, the whole Economic Lecture Series was meaningless.
“My expectation from their almighty Adongo was not this crèche lecture. What did Adongo tell Ghanaians….he was speaking to himself”, ‘angry’ Omanhene said on Ekosii Sen on Asempa FM.
“A lead speaker……when the lead speaker of the government's Economic Management Team had to table a lot of things to prove that they are working……you came to give out innuendos…..is that what we need?” he quizzed.
Omanhene believes John Jinapor tried exposing some flaws that Dr Bawumia and his team gave out during the Town Hall meeting organised by the government's Economic Management team but Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, Cassiel Ato Forson and Isaac Adongo never said anything meaningful.
To him, it is time politician’s move beyond pettiness and partisanship to discuss real issues affecting the citizens of this country.
Omanhene said that instead of the NDC's Finance and Economic Team subjecting what the government’s Economic Management Team said to real critique, they were rather attacking the personality of Dr Bawumia describing him as ‘Walewale Adams Smith’.
“You don’t need an Economist to tell you that what Adongo was doing was just to serve the party’s interest…most of the speakers were serving the presence of John Dramani Mahama; maybe he will give them appointments if he wins the 2020 elections,” Omanhene said.
The NDC's Economic Lecture Series was organised to deal with what they said were some misleading facts and patent misstatements laced with populist rhetoric by Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the head of the government's Economic Management Team (EMT).
The town hall meeting was organised by the EMT in Accra on Wednesday to respond mainly to criticisms on the depreciation of the Cedi.
In a statement issued after the government's event, the General Secretary of the NDC stated that the Finance and Economic Team of the NDC through its leader, Isaac Adongo, will take advantage to address the numerous distortions and lay bare the true facts of the state of the Ghanaian economy.
The NDC's Economic Lecture Series was held at Mensvic Hotel on April 4, 2019.

Some people don't just like peace. You are doing you journalism job in peace, now you are joining the politicians to create danger for yourself. The rate at which you are insulting ndc leaders very soon you will a target and later have to run away when they win power. Be wise and stop creating unnecessary enemies for yourself and your family.
He has rented himself to NPP. For some time this guy has been in the corner of NPP, he's been showing direct support for NPP. Who can blame him, If kweku baako and Kwesi Pratt are doing it and they're comfortable why not? He's also doing what he's been paid for.
Omanhene will always criticize you when you go wrong; he will praise you when you do good.
Look at his head like............
So Omanhene u have also joined the train? Am disappointed in u.I thought u would be a man of yourself?. The Concert party of Bawumia u didnt see? KARMA will soon work on u. May be u didnt read little Economics so u must be forgiven. But if den u were a bad student.
Omanhene, don't worry because NDC didn't use state money to organize their lecture. It is not a waste of tax payers money. Go and collect your cut from NPP and enjoy it but don't forget is tax payers money you are enjoying.
Seriously, I think this guy smoked weed or drunk a lot of apiooo before coming to the studio. I have never seen a journalist become sooo unprofessional like this fuuuull did. Even if you think adongo or whoever did not do well, do you have to be speaking like this, even fighting your fellow host to expose your npp identity? Barwumia was talking about boot for chale wrote, he was talking about broken leg economic, and you couldn't find it use.less, but because adongo said walewale Adams Smith you are soooo angry your bp is through the roof. I haven't seen a journalist that nincompoop.
No wonder, the only thing NDC are better off are INSULTS. Any who reads these comments knows where your competence lie. Always lets all remember that GHANA FIRST.
the truth hurts right? What has Omanhene done wrong? Ohh, because he's speaking the truth he's already an npp. If all media houses will openly hit hard on both npp and ndc, will be very good. Why didn't your supposed ndc gurus bring genuine facts to dispute what the vice president said and showed or because they know its the truth? He said indicators are better now than your ndc left power, responsible politicians will bring proof, but what did we hear, insults and you think Ghanaians will believe such non---sense
Omanhee, you are the one who doesn't make sense because you didn't understand what adongo and co said. You are just a stoupid npp propagandist. You don't even know anything. Who don't even know anything about Adams Smith. You sit down and campaign for npp. Omanhene is just doing politics for npp, it's just clear. They will get you very soon.
