In a recent statement, Nana Yaa Jantuah, a prominent political analyst and social commentator, has raised concerns about the suitability of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as a potential president of Ghana. Jantuah argues that Dr. Bawumia’s involvement in the implementation of the controversial e-levy, which has caused significant financial burdens for Ghanaians, disqualifies him from assuming the highest office in the country. Let us delve deeper into this assertion and examine the potential implications it may have for Dr. Bawumia’s political career.
Nana Yaa Jantuah argues that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, as the Vice President and Head of the Economic Management Team, bears significant responsibility for the implementation of the e-levy. Jantuah emphasizes that the e-levy was passed during Dr. Bawumia’s tenure in the government, making him accountable for the decision. According to her, this shows a lack of empathy and understanding of the financial struggles faced by ordinary Ghanaians.
Jantuah further highlights that Dr. Bawumia’s involvement in the economic management team implies that he played a pivotal role in shaping the government’s fiscal policies. Therefore, she argues, he cannot absolve himself of responsibility for the hardships caused by the e-levy. According to Jantuah, a leader who willingly imposes such a burden on the people cannot be entrusted with the highest office in the land.
she criticism of Dr. Bawumia’s involvement in implementing the e-levy raises valid concerns about his suitability for the presidency. The e-levy has caused financial strain for ordinary Ghanaians, and as the Vice President and Head of the Economic Management Team, Dr. Bawumia bears responsibility for its implementation. It remains to be seen how this critique will impact Dr. Bawumia’s political future, but it certainly raises questions about his ability to empathize with the struggles of the Ghanaian people and effectively manage the country’s economy
