A few days ago, Dr. Bawumia, the Vice Presidential candidate of the NPP held a lecture at the National Theatre in Accra on the state of Ghana’s economy–from his perspective.
The lecture has been celebrated by the NPP and has been labelled as intellectually dishonest by the NDC.
Interesting, the Vice President of Ghana, Dr. Amissah-Arthur is also an economist like Bawumia, and people have been calling on him to show his academic excellence in a way of a rebuttal lecture.
According to DailyGuide, a Lecture was advertised under the theme – “Ghana’s Economy – Separating Truth from Fiction” to be delivered by Dr. Amissah-Arthur—but it has been cancelled.
“An announcement of the event, which was put out first on social media, indicates that Chairman of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF) and former Presidential Advisor, Ato Ahwoi will be the Chairman for the Public Lecture which was also scheduled for the National Theatre, the same venue for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s Lecture last week,” the newspaper said.
