Mahama's questions focus on the current economic challenges, the exchange rate, national debt, high inflation, and Dr Bawumia's emphasis on digitalisation as an apparent solution to the economic crisis.
During a rally with NDC supporters in Tatale, Northern Region, on Monday, 28 October, Mahama referred to a time when Dr Bawumia, as the opposition's economic spokesperson, questioned then Vice-President Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur with a series of 170 questions.
Mahama urged Dr Bawumia to uphold similar transparency by addressing the issues he raised. "He used to give lectures every month about how to run an economy and how to fix the economy," Mahama stated. "He posed 170 questions to my Vice-President Amissah-Arthur.
He should go and answer the 170 questions himself.
