BAWUMIA RESPONDS TO BEING CALLED A LIAR

Addressing the currency to the issue, Dr. Bawumia drafted a sharp comparison to allegations faced by others in public office.

“I think Ebo Quansah mentioned people calling me a liar, and I thought to myself, at least I’m not being called a murderer, as my boss was, or a drug dealer, or even ‘Government Official One,'” Dr. Bawumia stated.

He went on to reminisce on why such accusations might arise, explaining his belief in the power  of Ghana to achieve what developed nations have attained.

Foundationally, I believe that Ghana can do exactly what is happening in the developed world, in the advanced countries. I believe it is possible for us to leapfrog technology, and for us to do this, we must have this mindset of possibilities,” Dr. Bawumia remarked.

 

He discouraged a mindset of timidity that he believes has held Ghana back, arguing that the country should not be afraid to pursue initiatives that have not even been attempted in advanced nations.

 

“We are always, you know, timid in trying to do things that are not even done in the advanced countries. We think, because it has not been done in the advanced countries, we shouldn’t even try, but we can leapfrog them in many areas,” he added.

 

Dr. Bawumia’s remarks emphasize his commitment to developmental thinking and his belief in Ghana’s potential to achieve greatness on the international stage, despite the challenges and criticisms he faces.
