General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, has launched a scathing attack on former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, labeling him the “epitome of deception” and accusing him of evading responsibility for Ghana’s economic downturn.
In an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Face to Face on Channel One TV, Kwetey questioned Dr. Bawumia’s credibility and performance during his tenure as head of the Economic Management Team under the previous New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration.
“Bawumia is the epitome of deception. That’s the truth. At every step, he was more interested in spinning narratives than telling the truth,” Kwetey stated. “He lacked the courage to admit that they mismanaged the economy. As head of the Economic Management Team, it wasn’t just a title—he was in charge.”
Kwetey further accused Dr. Bawumia of shirking responsibility when the economy began to falter, arguing that his failure to take accountability disqualifies him from leading the nation.
“When the moment came for the difficulties to be acknowledged, he ran away, pretended and said he was not in charge, it wasn’t him. That in itself tells you, you are not in leadership, you are a coward,” he said.
Kwetey concluded his remarks by casting doubt on Dr. Bawumia’s fitness for higher office.
“You don’t have a sense of responsibility, you cannot take accountability, and if you don’t have these attributes, you dare not think of the leadership of any country. Because you are morally weak,” he added.
