That worst performance is better than the best performance under the previous government between 2012 and 2016,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>But the opposition NDC has already challenged the claim and is expected to give details in today\u2019s forum.<\/p>\n<p>The NDC\u2019s Caisel  Ato Forson, who is also the Ranking Member on the Finance Committee of Parliament, said Bawumia\u2019s delivery was unimpressive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou heard him talk about the likes of the judiciary and the court systems. What has that got to do with the economic management team? He had nothing to say. He was just playing with numbers. And again, you know him and his credentials of lying with numbers.You could see lies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the port reforms the Vice President announced at the town hall meeting that will see values of imports reduced by 50%, Mr. Ato Forson said the announcement was populist.<\/p>\n<p>The NDC\u2019s forum will be addressed by the Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central, Isaac Adongo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Thursday, 4 April 2019 Source: citinewsroom.com 2019-04-04 Isaac Adongo, MP for Bolgatanga Central The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) will later today [Thursday] present an address on what they believe is the true state of economy.
