Bawumia corrupt: Mahama
President John Mahama has said Dr Mahamudu Bawumia
has no morale right to describe him as
"incompetent" and "corrupt" because he (Dr
Bawumia) as Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana
in the Kufuor administration failed to disclose to
Ghanaians how much the cedi redenomination
exercise cost in 2007.

In Mr Mahama's view, that smacks of corruption.

At a rally in the Ablekuma North constituency in
the Greater Accra Region on Tuesday, 11 October,
Mr Mahama asked: "Do we remember the cedi
redenomination under President Kufuor? During that
time, someone [Bawumia] was the Deputy Bank of
Ghana Governor and up till now, even I as a
President do not know the cost of the
redenomination exercise."

"Up till today, no Ghanaian knows the cost of the
redenomination exercise and the same people come
and say someone is incompetent. When you
redenominated the cedi, how much did it cost us?
Simple things like these you cannot tell us and
you have the nerve to come and talk about
corruption. Look in the mirror and look at
yourselves.

"Take the log out of your eye before you point at
the mote in somebody's eye. Only God doesn't make
mistakes. I am human, I am not God. I am not
saying I have done so much, but I have done what I
can and if others say they have not noticed what I
have done, God who is in heaven is my witness and
he sees the good works NDC has done."

The redenomination exercise knocked off four zeros
from the cedi at the time to fight high inflation.
