Former Deputy Chairman of 's campaign team, Nana Akomea has taken a swipe at a former government spokesperson, Dr Palgrave Boakye-Danquah over his criticism of the former Vice President of Ghana.
Dr Palgrave Boakye-Danquah, former Government Spokesperson on Governance and Security under the Akufo-Addo administration, in an open letter, condemned Dr Bawumia for what, to him, is his attempt to disassociate himself from policies by the previous government such as the E-levy and the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP) among others that led to the New Patriotic Party's defeat in the 2024 elections.
Dr Boakye-Danquah, who is now in the camp of former presidential aspirant, , reprimanded Dr Bawumia saying "Bawumia's claim that he opposed the E-levy, a highly controversial tax policy, is inconsistent with his silence during its introduction and passage, despite public outcry and its significant impact on Ghanaians". He added, "As Vice President, he had a platform to voice dissent or influence policy but chose not to, only to later claim opposition when it suited his political ambitions." "Bawumia's failure to publicly address or mitigate the DDEP's impact, while now implying he was not fully responsible, reeks of opportunism and undermines the administration's collective accountability." Responding to these blistering attacks on the former veep, Nana Akomea, in a statement sighted by GhanaWeb, was utterly amazed that the former government spokesperson could purport such things against Dr.
Bawumia.
