Dear Dr. @MBawumia,
YOU CANNOT REWRITE HISTORY NOR THE LAWS OF GHANA FROM YOUR STATE-FUNDED RETIREMENT HOME.
Do you remember, that in 2022, while you were Vice President and Chairman of the Police Council, Bobbie Ansah was prosecuted for alleging you, Dr. Bawumia and your wife Madam Samira Bawumia have used state funds to acquire properties at the AU Villa?
If a man, with Executive Authority as Vice President and Chairman of the Police Council, looked on for the police to arrest, detain, prosecute and jail a journalist for spreading fake news about him and his wife, can same man in principle, claim to be averse to such prosecutions as one without any power today?
When you had the power to tell the police who you were literally responsible for supervising, to stop the prosecution of Bobbie Ansah, YOU DID NOT. Now that you have no power, you suddenly think it is wrong to do what you looked on to be done just few years ago. In fact, it was done in your name then, as a State Authority and not a private person, YET YOU DID NOT STOP IT. Today you, as a private citizen arrogates to yourself authority to direct the cessation of prosecutions?
Dr. Bawumia, you also appear to misunderstand a basic principle of criminal law. Criminal prosecutions are not private disputes controlled by victims or complainants. A crime may have an identifiable victim, but it is an offence against the Republic.
That is why criminal cases are brought in the name of The Republic, not in the name of Dr. Bawumia, Madam Samira Bawumia or any individual citizen. The decision whether to prosecute rests with the State, acting through constitutionally mandated institutions, not with the personal preferences of opposition party leaders.
Dear Sir, you therefore cannot portray yourself as magnanimously “forgiving” offences that are not legally yours to forgive.
Your Excellency, if you genuinely believe those who allegedly publish falsehoods and threaten harm should never face prosecution, then consistency demands more than a press release.
First you MUST openly apologize to Bobbie Ansah for prosecuting him for saying you and your wife used state funds to purchase properties at the AU Villa.
You must proceed from that to reject the entire architecture of state protection that accompanies your high public status.
Decline state security.
Refuse intelligence protection.
Renounce taxpayer-funded protective measures.
Insist on being treated exactly like every other citizen.
SPARE US YOUR HYPOCRITICAL GRANDSTANDING.
Because one cannot demand the extraordinary protection of the State while simultaneously condemning the State whenever it performs one of its core constitutional functions: enforcing the law.
Equality before the law does not mean immunity from prosecution because a politician has changed his mind after leaving office.
Dear Sir, like everyone else, you are entitled to advocate for legal reform. You are entitled to argue that existing laws are too broad or that Parliament should amend them.
I personally think section 207 and 208 of Act 29 are unconstitutional too but until so declared the court or amended by parliament, they are law. And you, dear Sir, applied those laws to protect your wife and yourself when you had power.
Dear Sir, you can neither rewrite history nor rewrite our laws from your state-funded retirement home.
You had eight years in the highest levels of executive power to demonstrate this supposed commitment to unfettered speech. You did not only fail, you applied these laws when you felt you and your wife were falsely maligned.
As for your friend, @Manasseh_Azure, I will rather ignore his laundering and repacking of you for the Ghanaian people because in more cases than not, I find common ground with his positions. I am sure that upon reading this, he would remember that his claim of consistency in your position is FALSE.
Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurance of my utmost respect.
All of a sudden this failed presidential candidate of the useless NPP is aware of Cocobod issues and supposedly commissioning reports. Awuradi Nyankopn🤣🤣
25. Among the principal measures we undertook were the following:
• We introduced the Public Financial Management (PFM) commitment authorization to control government expenditure;
• We audited government arrears and payables to eliminate recycled IPCs and overpayments;
• We stopped the misuse of the tax refund account to finance schemes such as SML;
• We amended the PFM Act to institutionalize a 1.5% of GDP primary surplus and 45% debt-to-GDP by 2034;
• We introduced the GOLDBOD to enhance FX stability and reserve accumulation;
• We operationalized the Sinking Fund with dedicated Cedi and US Dollar buffers to manage future debt maturities;
• We removed nuisance taxes such as E-Levy, Betting Tax, Emissions Levy, and VAT on motor insurance to support private sector activity;
• We established the Office of Value for Money to improve public expenditure efficiency;
• We established the Independent Fiscal Council to check compliance with the fiscal rules;
• We concluded IPP renegotiations, saving over US$250 million, and cleared over US$1 billion of legacy arrears in the energy sector;
• We reduced ministers of state from 123 (later 88) to 60; and
• We reduced government ministries from 30 to 23; and
26. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to report that these measures have produced clear and measurable results.
• Real GDP growth reached 6.0% in 2025, marking the highest expansion in the post-pandemic period;
• Most importantly, non-oil GDP reached 7.6%, the highest in 14 years;
• For the first time, Ghana’s economy crossed the US$100 billion threshold in 2025, making it a fully-fledged emerging market economy;
• Ghana’s economy is now ranked the 8th largest in Africa;
• Ghana’s per capita income increased to US$3,385 for the first time;
• The primary balance recorded a surplus of 2.5% of GDP in 2025;
• Public debt-to-GDP ratio reduced substantially from 61.8% in 2024 to 44.7% at the end of 2025;
• Ghana achieved the debt-to-GDP target of 45% well ahead of the IMF programme and the PFM debt rule target of 2034;
• Debt service-to-domestic revenue ratio declined from 55.7% in 2022 to 28.8% in 2025, even with the resumption of full Eurobond obligations in 2025;
• Ghana achieved a moderate risk of debt distress from a high risk of debt distress under the DSA;
• Inflation declined from 23.8% in December 2024 to 3.4% in April 2026.
• 91-Day Treasury Bill has declined by over 2300 basis points from 28.4% in January 2025 to 4.8% in April 2026;
• The 2-year, 3-year, and 5-year bonds are now trading in the range of 11.0%–12.6%, compared to 20% in the previous year;
• The monetary policy rate has declined by 1,300 basis points from 27% in January 2025 to 14.0% in April 2026;
• The current account balance recorded a surplus of 8.3% of GDP in 2025; and
• The cedi appreciated by 40.7% against the US Dollar in 2025.
27. Mr. Speaker, these results affirm a simple but enduring truth: fiscal prudence and discipline always deliver results.
28. Macroeconomic stability is not an abstract policy objective; it is the foundation for jobs, incomes, investor confidence, and national prosperity.
29. It is also the lesson we must carry forward if we are to ensure that Ghana never again relives the hardships of 2022.
30. Prudence does not mean we are failing to spend. We can only spend what we have. Prudence is the difficult road to wealth creation.
31. Mr. Speaker, at the 77th Annual New Year School on 6th January 2026, President Mahama stated that:
"It is my hope that this will be the very last time we will ever go for a bailout from the IMF…It must be the 17th and the last time that Ghana goes for a bailout from the IMF."
32. The President further noted:
"We'll continue our collaboration with the IMF under Article 4 and other instruments... But it will definitely be the last time we go on our knees to beg for a bailout."
Contractors working on the remaining foundations and seal works at different sections on Suame interchange day and night to ensure project will be completed on schedule .
@_KwabenaNPP @KAgbodza This was under your useless NPP. Rehabilitation of a 22.0km road in Adenta costs GH₵1,327,776,353.46. That's GH₵60,353,470.61. 60 million cedis per kilometre.
@JustNanaAma A vice president who was given the power to arrest the dollar had no power? A vice president who claims that he introduced 33 national initiatives and policies had no power? 🤣🤣 Is that the new format to rebrand Bawumia? Tweakai.
