Ghana Needs A Decisive Leader Like Akufo-Addo - Bawumia
Dr. Bawumia noted that, 'in view of this we need
to select a decisive leader with vision and
direction. We need a trustworthy leader who can
give us an economy that we can be proud of, and
that leader is Nana Akufo-Addo.'

He described the NDC government's attempt to
attribute the country's economic woes to the fall
in the prices of gold and cocoa as laughable.

Dr. Bawumia added that gold prices from 2009 to
date are on average 172% higher on the
international market than they were under the 8
years of the NPP, adding that 'the problem is not
gold or cocoa prices. The problem is that this
government has mismanaged the economy and, as a
result, has placed untold hardships on
Ghanaians.'

'Ghana now has oil. Under the NPP, there was no
oil. They (NDC) have borrowed over $20 billion and
still there is no money. They (NDC) have received
tax revenue much more than any government, and yet
still we need a bail out from the IMF,' he
stated.

Dr. Bawumia maintained that President Mahama and
his NDC government can there not complain of lack
of resources.

'But where is the money? When we need money to pay
contractors, teachers, nurses etc., the NDC says
there is no money. But when schemes like SADA,
GYEEDA, and the purchasing of sanitary pads
spring up, they will find the money,' Dr Bawumia
stressed.

In view of this, he told the delegates that 'we
need a decisive leader who will transform this
country and that leader is none other than Nana
Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. His vision for this nation
has been clear and consistent, and will deliver
prosperity for all.'
