A Ghanaian Mineral Economist Consultant based in the United States of America USA, Dr Solomon Owusu has launched a scatting attack on Dr Mahamudu Bawumia. He described the much much tauted Gold -For-Oil Initiative as senseless.
Speaking to this portal, Dr Solomon Owusu blasted the vice president, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, for defending the policy when he was cautioned about the policy which has now become a hoax.
His comments comes on the backdrop of a pronouncement made by the NPP’s communications director Richard Ahiagbah that the Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Dr.Bawumia will use the country’s gold to back the cedi to make it Stable which he sees to be a total scam.
According to him, he find it very cumbersome to understand why the Gold -For-Oil Initiative could not stabilize the cedi and reduce fuel prices in the country as promised by Dr Bawumia.
“What happened to the Gold-for-Oil initiative? Couldn’t it stabilize the cedi and reduce fuel prices as promised by Bawumia? He quizzed
“I said it on different platforms, radio interviews and personal conversations that the gold-for-oil deal was useless and senseless.” he reiterated
He alleged that Dr. Bawumia didn’t think through and apply wisdom to the implementation of that illogical and ridiculous policy.
“How can Bawumia convince Ghanaians that he will use the gold again to stabilize the cedi, if we vote for him to become the President? As the current head of economic management team of this government, what is preventing him from stabilizing the cedi with gold now but waiting till 2025?”
Adding “What is preventing Bawumia from applying his so-called knowledge and experience in economics to stabilize the cedi and address the economic challenges that the country is facing?”
He admonished Ghanaians to reject Dr Bawumia because he can’t continue to scam Ghanaians with sweet talks and lies anymore.
