The Convener of the Fixing The Country Movement, Ernest Owusu Bempah in press conference has said NDC elements like Felix Kwakye Ofeu, Sammy Gyamfi, Isaac Adongo and the likes, who are fraudulently hoodwinking the gullible and degrading political discourse are arsonists posing as firefighters.

"They are obviously expecting to take credit for having extinguished the fire that they set," he said.

At press conference organized by the Fixing The Country Movement, Ernest Owusu Bempah stated that, the Ghanaian economy was at the verge of inclining despite what the NPP government inherited from the Mahama led administration before it was badly hit by the Covid-19 pandemic and now, the Russian-Ukrainian war which has adversely affected many countries in the world, including Ghana.

In a public lecture on Thursday afternoon, at the Pentecost Conference Centre, Millennium City, Kasoa Yesukrom in the Central Region, Dr. Bawumia engaged in serious economic analysis on Ghana's current situation with data and figures.

"We have all been struck by the far-reaching polices by government and Dr. Bawumia on the day displayed remarkable technical know-how with analysis. It is rare to see optimism, worry, joy and reflection all during one lecture.

"There was a lot of clear and outlandish, policy ideas on display but surprisingly, the NDC is yet to formulate a convincing response.

"It has been over 72 hours since the lecture and the NDC has not been able to provide data to counter Dr. Bawumia, instead, in speeches and media appearances, leading NDC activists, politicians, and hangers-on are savaging Vice President Bawumia for stating the obvious with regards to our economic indicators.

"These NDC elements have sharpened their attacks against Dr. Bawumia. And in doing so, they are 'talking down' our economic recovery even as the entire world crumbles under the post pandemic political-economic realities,"

"Ladies and gentlemen, the question we should all be posing to the NDC is, where are their economic gurus? Is the NDC bereft of economic ideas such that they have to deploy inexperienced propagandists to respond to an otherwise serious economic indices?" Ernest Owusu Bempah told the media.
