Minority Leader in Parliament, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, once again criticised Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia over the ongoing economic crisis in the country.
Dr. Ato Forson argued that despite Dr. Bawumia's supposed expertise, he has failed to live up to expectations since assuming office alongside President Akufo-Addo.
According to the lawmaker representing Ajumako-Enyan-Essiam, Dr. Bawumia's performance has been dismal, and as a result, he should face the consequences of Ghanaian voters in the upcoming 2024 elections.
During his contribution to the 2024 State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Monday, March 11, the former Deputy Finance Minister accused Dr. Bawumia of squandering the fiscal space inherited from the previous John Mahama government.
Dr. Ato Forson condemned the Akufo-Addo administration's management of the country, alleging that it has led to significant hardships for the Ghanaian people.
"Mr Speaker, those who held various lectures on textbook management of the economy have been in charge of Ghana’s economy for the last seven years."
"Despite “resolving” all issues of the economy at those lectures, the reality is that the economy has collapsed on the watch of Dr. Bawumia, the chief lecturer," he said.
