Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has launched a scathing attack on the economic records of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The New Patriotic Party running mate said the economy has tumbled since the NDC assumed power in 2008.
Bawumia made the criticism during the campaign launch of the Member of Parliament for Anyaa Sowutuom in the Greater Accra region, Shirley Botchway.
He said: “NDC took over the reins of power at the time when the country’s GDP growth was at 9.1%. Now the 9.1% growth has reduced to 3.6%. Where is the transformation they spoke about?”
The Editor of the New Crusading Guide, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako has said the collapse of Heritage Bank, GN Bank, and uniBank by the <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/news/local/agongo-must-sue-bank-of-ghana-for-collapsing-heritage-bank-prof-gatsi/d93y4pr">Bank of Ghana</a> was painful.

“When they took over the cocoa output was almost a million tonnes in 2010 from about 700,000 in 2008. Now it is less than 600,000 tonnes, Where is the transformation they are talking about?” he quizzed.
