Former President John Dramani Mahama has made mockery of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia over the constant falling of the cedi against the American dollar.
According to Mr. Mahama, the continuous declining of the cedi against the dollar clearly indicate that the country’s economy is in shambles.
His comment comes following the Vice President’s claims in 2020 that the prudent economic decisions have held the cedi’s fall against the dollar at a time, stating that the government had “arrested” the cedi and locked it up.
Mr. Mahama at an NDC event on March 21, 2022 believes the dollar has rather arrested the Vice President, hence the reason why he has been tight-lipped about the situation of the country’s economy.
“[We currently have] daily price increases, fuel price adjustments, and nose-diving currency which has eager arrested the person who said he had arrested it.
“The dollar has rather arrested him [Bawumia], and we are looking for him. We can’t find him. I asked the IGP if he had the keys [ that were used to lock the currency], so that we could find where our Vice President was, but he said he doesn’t have it and doesn’t know his [Bawumia’s] whereabouts.”
