The Vice President and Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has commended Joy FM and the African Academy for Open-Source Investigations (AAOSI) for exposing machinations by persons he described as key officials of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to smear him by branding him a liar.
At his interactions with the media on Sunday, Dr. Bawumia was asked whether he was bothered by efforts by the opposition NDC to brand him a liar.

Responding, Dr. Bawumia was quick to refer to how even the President, Nana Akufo-Addo was labelled a murderer and drug addict by the NDC, saying by being labelled a liar, he has not suffered as much smear campaign as President Akufo-Addo.
Dr. Bawumia also added that in comparison, "at least I am not called Government Official One", referring to the labelling of former President Mahama by courts in the US and the UK in the Airbus corruption scandal.
Specifically addressing the issue of being labelled a liar by the NDC, Dr. Bawumia referred to a report by the African Academy for Open-Source Investigations (AAOSI) in collaboration with Joy FM, which said the labelling of Dr. Bawumia on social media, was an orchestration by the NDC, to smear him.
Dr. Bawumia commended Joy FM and AAOSI for their work which exposed the NDC, adding that on every proposal he made, which the NDC said he was lying, he successfully achieved them, thereby exposing the NDC.
"Interestingly, whenever I come up with something and they say it is impossible and that I am lying, we prove them wrong. But when we do, they don't come back," he said.
Dr. Bawumia listed a number of policy proposals he announced, which he said the NDC claimed he was lying, but they ended up being successfully implemented.
He mentioned these to include the Ghanacard as a travel document to travel into Ghana, the delivery of medical supplies through drones, and mobile money interoperability which he said has lifted Ghana to be number one most financially inclusive country in Africa.
