Omanhene Kwabena Asante, journalist and host of Badwam on Adom TV, described the Bolgatanga Central MP's conference at the NDC Economic Lecture Series, a conference filled with "Concert Party" at the National Theater .

According to him, the first three speakers of the day did not say anything substantive. He added that, aside from John Jinapor, who had raised relevant questions, the entire series of lectures on the economy did not make sense.

"My expectations from their powerful Adongo were not this kindergarten conference. What Adongo told the Ghanaians … He told himself, "said Omanhene" angry "at Ekosii Sen on Asempa FM.

"A keynote speaker …… when the main speaker of the government's economic management team had to come up with many things to prove that he was working … you came to give insinuations … is this what we do we need? "he asked.

Omanhene thinks John Jinapor has tried to reveal some flaws that Dr. Bawumia and his team revealed during the public session organized by the government's economic management team, but Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, Cbadiel Ato, Isaac Adongo, and Forson have never said anything significant.

For him, it is time for politicians, beyond pettiness and partisanship, to discuss real issues affecting the citizens of this country.

Omanhene said that instead of the NDC's finance and economics team critiquing the government's economic management team, it was attacking Dr. Bawumia's personality. describing as "Walewale Adams Smith".

"You do not need an economist to tell you that what Adongo was doing was just to serve the interests of the party … most of the speakers served the presence of John Dramani Mahama; maybe he'll give them appointments when he wins the 2020 election, "Omanhene said.

The NDC Economic Lecture Series was organized to address what they described as misleading facts and obvious false statements stamped with populist rhetoric by Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, head of the Economic Management Team (EMT). ) of the government.

The town hall meeting was organized by the EMT in Accra on Wednesday to mainly address criticisms of the Cedi's depreciation.

In a statement issued after the government's protest, the secretary general of the NDC said that the NDC's finance and economy team, through the intermediary of its leader, Isaac Adongo, take the opportunity to address the many distortions and expose the real facts of the current situation. the Ghanaian economy.

The NDC Economic Lecture Series is held at the Mensvic Hotel on April 4, 2019.
