The Vice Chairman of the 'Bawumia 2024 Campaign Team', Nana Akomea, has vehemently denied allegations suggesting that Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia bears sole responsibility for Ghana's current economic difficulties.

He emphasised that the present economic crisis is a collective responsibility of the entire government, and thus, it would be unfair to place all blame on Dr. Bawumia.

While acknowledging Dr. Bawumia's significant role as Vice President, Nana Akomea underscored the principle of collective responsibility within the government.

In an interview with Citi TV on Tuesday, February 20, Mr Akomea highlighted Dr. Bawumia's consistent support for the Akufo-Addo administration, refuting claims that he has distanced himself from government affairs.

Responding to accusations from the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) blaming Dr. Bawumia for Ghana's economic challenges, Nana Akomea dismissed these claims as failed propaganda attempts by the NDC.

“You cannot take Bawumia out of the government, it is not possible, he’s the sitting Vice President. There’s a collective responsibility. This is not the man you can describe as taking himself out of the government. I heard some funny things mainly coming from the NDC, that Bawumia has betrayed Akufo-Addo, he has ostracised Akufo-Addo, and he has taken himself out of government. That is just propaganda. The man has been the biggest defender of the Akufo-Addo government.

“During the NPP primaries, where many of the other ten people, thought it was fashionable to present themselves as anti-establishments, Bawumia was the only one who could talk to the delegates about the work of the government, before he went into his vision. Bawumia is not the person you can describe as taking himself out of the government.

“He accepts collective responsibility. What the NDC has tried to do, not in a clever way, what they are trying to say is Bawumia is responsible for whatever difficulties we are in today. How can he be responsible? How can you say one person is responsible?” he asked.
