Kennedy Agyapong To Bawumia : Answer The 170 Questions You Posed To Amissah-Arthur

Kennedy Agyapong, New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbebarer hopeful has expressed concern about Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia’s silence on the struggling economy.

Agyapong, who is in a contest against Bawumia and two others to lead the NPP into the 2024 polls says he is worried that the Vice President has seemingly turned full attention to digitalization even when the economy is what he was famed for prior to 2016.

The Assin Central MP said whiles he will not pass a definitive verdict on the economic performance of the current government, it is for Bawumia to speak to issues that are being raised over economic management and performance.

“How would you pride yourself that interest rate has gone from 14 to 35%, yet you want applause, how?” Agyapong asked during an interview on Oyerepa FM on November 1, 2023.

“I disagree,” he responded to claims that Bawumia was only an assistant to his boss.

“When this contender was coming, he asked Amissah Arthur 170 questions, why can’t we ask him the same 170 questions? He should answer them if he can,” he stressed.

“Of late, he is about digital matters and doesn’t talk about the economy. I want him to talk about it… the way he was blasting Mahama and the NDC, he should bold to talk about the state of the economy,” Agyapong added.

In the lead-up to the 2016 general elections, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia provided 170 statements to which he was demanding answers from then Vice President Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur.

His move was following a declaration by the Veep that, Bawumia lied in claims he made at the public lecture – “Real state of the economy” and that his claims were untrue.

The Vice President indicated he will be responding to Bawumia on various political platforms but that was never to be
