The National Communications Officer of the (NDC), , has accused the Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, , of being out of touch with issues of governance in the country.
Bawumia has been focusing on abstract economic theories, which has led to the county's current state. "Dr.
Bawumia, all this while, has been focusing on textbook economic theories he learnt in school.
He knows nothing about governance issues.
He cannot relate to the suffering and hardship Ghanaians are going through.
Any time he mounts the stage now, he cracks jokes that he alone finds funny," he said.
also critisised Bawumia for promising to abolish the E-Levy tax only when he is elected president, questioning why he cannot do so now.
Bawumia is more focused on having a manifesto for the 2024 elections than alleviating the suffering of Ghanaians. "In 2016, Bawumia went to sit on air and said there are too many taxes hurting Ghanaians.
Today posterity has exposed him.
Today he says when he is elected as president he will abolish the e-levy tax.
Why can't he do it now? "Recently, he was asked by a journalist why the Akufo-Addo-led government can't abolish e-levy now.
Did you hear his answer?
He said if it is abolished, he won't have a manifesto.
So, because he needs a manifesto for the pending elections, Ghanaians should suffer, so if he abolishes all the taxes the NPP introduced, what will the next NPP government do. "This is the mindset of the NPP.
Who told him taxes are the only problems Ghanaians are facing?
Akufo-Addo has been saying that he is intelligent, so if he is that intelligent as claimed by Akufo-Addo, why can't he advise the government to cancel the E-Levy and all the other taxes they have burdened Ghanaian's with?" he stated.
The has announced that if the party wins power, they will scrap four taxes introduced by the NPP government, namely the E-Levy, COVID Levy, 10 percent levy on bet winnings, and Emissions Levy.
