“NPP Built Ghana’s Economy to Collapse When Another Government Takes Over – International Business Analyst Hits Back at Former Vice President Dr. Bawumia”
In a sharp rebuke to comments made by Ghana’s former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, renowned international business analyst, Scott, has accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of laying economic foundations destined for collapse under any succeeding government.
His statement comes days after Dr. Bawumia criticized the current administration for Ghana’s economic downturn, claiming the NPP had left a robust and resilient foundation in place.
In a post on his X account he made these claims:
“When you analyze Ghana’s economy critically from 2021 to 2024, it was designed by the NPP government to collapse if another government came to power.
They adopted short-term strategies like rescheduling debt; power generation infrastructure was not serviced, and debt was left behind. That’s why they predicted doom but now they want credit.”
Dr. Bawumia, in a recent speech claimed the NPP had put the economy on a trajectory of growth and that the economic foundation was laid by his government,
But Scott countered that these justifications ignore the deeper issues rooted in political expediency and superficial macroeconomic stability.
The remarks have sparked fierce debate within Ghana’s political and economic circles, with supporters of both parties defending their respective legacies. Some local economists echoed Scott’s sentiments, calling for a national audit of all major economic programs launched in the last decade.
