Audio Attachment:Listen to Isaac Adongo during the lecture |
Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central, Isaac Adongo says issues raised by Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia during a maiden Town Hall Meeting, was a rehash of what President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo said when he presented the 2019 State of the Nation Address in Parliament.
Dr Bawumia on Wednesday led the Economic Management Team to give Ghanaians update on activities of the ruling government.
He spoke on the depreciation of the cedi and a 30 and 50 percent reduction in import duties which has created excitement among importers.
Speaking to this at a lecture organised by the opposition National Democratic Congress, Isaac Adongo said "the people of Ghana were served with what we already knew . . . they are still delivering lectures in government when they are supposed to manage the economy . . . we had a second State of the Nation address yesterday after the President had gone to parliament to give his State of the Nation address . . . this is the second deceit (reduction in import duties) that will hang the NPP government in 2020."
According to him, the management of an economy is a serious business which cannot be reduced to 'comic reliefs' and inciting the public against expectations that cannot be met.
He asked the Vice President, whom he christened as 'Walewale Adams Smith' not to "once again plunge this country into international disgrace".
The Theme for the lecture was "the state of the Ghanaian economy, the myth, and the truth".

On Ghanaweb, there's a story attributed to Adongo about Ghana no longer attractive to foreign investors because there's no infrastructure. Well, $1.5 billion is being sunk into infrastructure especially roads network across the length and breadth of Ghana, and does Adongo know, it doesn't add a cent to our debt stock? The rail sector has not even been added to the kind of interventions being made in addressing the infrastructure sector. With the Aker EDP deal, we are again looking at bringing the maritime industry into play which again is a brilliant leveraging of resources for fast transformative inclusive growth and development. So unless Adongo is living on another Planet, Ghana is now by far one of the most attractive investment destinations in Africa for both indigenous players in country, from the continent of Africa and outside the continent.
Walewale Adams Smith paaaa......I laf enter walwale ooo....... Economic fundamentals
Such terrible presentations can be inspired by only two things; Tramadol and W*e*e! Interestingly, their leader John Mahama was sitting there and laughing along. Pathetic!
IS THIS THEIR STAR ECONOMIST? GOD HELP GHANA
When you have a party made up of mainly semi literates, this is what you get. This party called NDC should never get close to power again. The days of wanton stealing and incompetence are over. Mahama will never be President again.
Eiiiiiiiiiiii NDC. As a Ghanaian I am scandalized by the level of disrespect exhibited by the umbrella family today. Sad day for Ghana.
Look at the 111diiiiot Adongo, what do you? politics has given a person like Adongo a voice.
This is bad politics by the Ndc. Pure insults, but you se, Ghanaians know brains . Sad day for Ndc. Empty ***barred word*** 1diots.
NDC has today shown to the entire nation that, it is indeed a ***barred word*** party ever existed in this country called Ghana. they are full of nation wreckers Fire burn you all.............................
