The Vice President\u2019s speeches, lectures and statements on the economy over the years are a matter of public record, the statement read in part.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Bawumia wants the main opposition NDC to refer to his speeches and try to criticize based on the statements contained therein.<\/p>\n<p>He advised:\u201cTo deliberately fabricate statements in an attempt to attack your political opponent is an exercise in desperation and intellectual dishonesty.
