Minister of Energy, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has questioned why people blame Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for Ghana's economic woes.
Matthew Opoku Prempeh, who doubles as Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, stated in an interview on Peace FM's "Kokrokoo" morning show that he always gets "sad" when Dr. Bawumia comes under criticisms for being the Head of the Economic Management Team.
According to him, per governance structure, Dr. Bawumia cannot be held responsible for what happens on the economic front, explaining that the Economic Management Team is the only branch or group in government described as a "team", hence cannot be seen as an individual affair.
"I get sad when people blame Vice President Bawumia because it is the only Committee that's called a team. At the Cabinet level, we have Social and Infrastructure Committee and others but when we talk about the economy, we term it as Economic Management Team. So, we appointed experts on the team," he said.
The Minister also pleaded with Ghanaians to continue having faith in the Akufo-Addo administration to salvage the economy.
He noted that the New Patriotic Party is the only political party that, when in power, implements policies that give relief to Ghanaians as well as bring about national development.
Matthew Opoku Prempeh asked the citizenry to bear with the government and promised them that, "NPP will take Ghana out from IMF for us to get our relief".

HE IS THE PRODUCT OF CANADIAN FRAZER INSTITUTE SIMONE FRAZER INSTITUTE WHERE MAT KARNEY WENT FORMER GOVERNOR OF CANADA AND BRITAIN. ***barred word*** MAHAMA DOESN'T COME CLOSED TO HIS LEVEL. A MAN WHO WAS CONTRACTED BY MUGABE TO HELP THEIR CENTRAL BANK, A VISITING LECTURE AT OXFORD UNIVERSITY.

I WANT HIM TO MOVE GHANA FURTHER IN TERMS OF DEVELOPMENT ESPECIALLY EDUCATION. DR. BAWUMIAH NAME IS STILL CAVE IN CANADA FRAZER INSTITUTE.
Your Moda, who should we blame? Avu!
Laughable, this is the 17th time Ghana's so called politicians have sent the country to the IMF. If you can take Ghana out of the IMF, why send the country there in the first place. You speak to people who made you what you are today as if they can't think. If political position were by examinations, how many of you will come near.
