Ernest Owusu Bempah has reacted to the politicaltension between Kennedy Agyapong and Dr.MahamuduBawumia, throwing his weight behindAgyapong and criticising the former vice president’seconomic record.

Owusu Bempah maintained that Bawumia and histeam are not in a strong position to attack JohnDramaniMahama, whom he believes is makingefforts to rebuild Ghana’s economy followingthe challengesof the previous administration.

He accused the NPP of poor economic managementduring the period when Bawumia was associatedwiththe government’s economic managementteam. As part of his argument, he pointed to thedepreciationof the cedi, claiming that the USdollar reached GH¢17 under their supervision.

He contrasted that situation with what he describedas Mahama’s ongoing efforts to strengthenthelocal currency, stabilise the exchange rate,and put the economy on a better footing.

Beyond criticising Bawumia, Owusu Bempahcalled for a comprehensive restructuring ofthe NPP’sleadership. He argued that the partymust make room for capable, forward-thinkingleaders who canintroduce effective policiesand restore public confidence.

In a direct challenge to Bawumia, Owusu Bempahquestioned whether the former vice president hadthecredibility to claim he could manage the cedi betterthan Mahama. He cited the dollar’s reportedexchangerate of GH¢17 during the previous government’stenure and argued that Bawumia’s economicrecordraised questions about his presidential ambitions.
