Former Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu has questioned The Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party,Dr Mahamudu Bawumia on his assertion that Ghana needs an upgrade rather than a reset. He asked, how can you resolve to upgrade hardship when you can do something to deal with it? Harruna Iddrisu insists that Ghana’s economy requires a reset rather than an upgrade as proclaimed by Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). He said the present condition of the country does not need an upgrade but a reset. According to him, the NPP had eight years in office and had the opportunity to fix the ailing economy and deliver on their promises yet failed. In an interview on JoyNews on Wednesday, August 28, 2024, Haruna Iddrisu said “For the NPP and Bawumia, it’s a lost opportunity. What you cannot do in eight years, you are now promising it in 100 days and promising it into the future, no. Ghanaians gave you a mandate and that mandate was for eight years … even in their manifesto for 2016 – the agenda for jobs, transforming Ghana from production to taxation said they will end the suffering of Ghanaians. Have they ended the suffering of Ghanaians?“ “It is not for them to say that President Mahama should not say reset. They even say upgrade – you cannot come and upgrade hardship, inflation which is already high, poor performance of economy, unsustainable debt,” he said. Former President and Flagbearer for the National Democratic Congress, John Mahama has pledged to reset Ghana’s economy if elected in the upcoming elections. This promise comes as part of his broader campaign to address the economic challenges facing the nation. But Dr. Bawumia in his Media engagement rejected Mahama’s claim and said the country needs an upgrade instead of a reset. Story By: Collins Boateng(Cabman) for VOV News
