Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has replied to critics who say he has left the economy and focused on initialization after he led the economy into crisis.
Meanwhile, speaking with a group that visited him at the Jubilee House on Monday, March 28, 2022, the Vice President revealed he has not left the economy but instead, it’s because of the economy that he is now focusing on digitization.
He added that President tasked him to focus on how to handle a lot of challenges these investors face when they come to Ghana, that is why he’s working to make Ghana’s economy a digitalized and modern one.
” The President gave me the responsibility as the head of the economic management team to focus on how best we can ensure a modernized economy. By so doing, we were going to do away with some of the challenges and risks people who invest in Ghana face. So we focused on how we make this economy an efficient one.”
” This is why I have focused on initialization. Sometimes people say, we thought you are an economist but it seems you’ve left economics to IT. I tell them no, that’s not the case, I’ve not left economics. In fact, it’s because of the economy that I am focusing on revitalization now.” Dr. Bawumia boldly revealed.
