Journalist and Host of Badwam on Adom TV, Omanhene Kwabena Asante, has described the lecture of the Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central at the Economic Lecture Series organised by the opposition NDC as a lecture full of ‘Concert Party’ which is performed at the National Theatre.
According to him, the first three speakers on the day said nothing substantial. He said apart from John Jinapor who raised some pertinent issues, the whole Economic Lecture Series was meaningless.
“My expectation from their almighty Adongo was not this crèche lecture. What did Adongo tell Ghanaians….he was speaking to himself”, ‘angry’ Omanhene said on Ekosii Sen on Asempa FM.
“A lead speaker……when the lead speaker of the government's Economic Management Team had to table a lot of things to prove that they are working……you came to give out innuendos…..is that what we need?” he quizzed.
Omanhene believes John Jinapor tried exposing some flaws that Dr Bawumia and his team gave out during the Town Hall meeting organised by the government's Economic Management team but Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, Cassiel Ato Forson and Isaac Adongo never said anything meaningful.
To him, it is time politician’s move beyond pettiness and partisanship to discuss real issues affecting the citizens of this country.
Omanhene said that instead of the NDC's Finance and Economic Team subjecting what the government’s Economic Management Team said to real critique, they were rather attacking the personality of Dr Bawumia describing him as ‘Walewale Adams Smith’.
“You don’t need an Economist to tell you that what Adongo was doing was just to serve the party’s interest…most of the speakers were serving the presence of John Dramani Mahama; maybe he will give them appointments if he wins the 2020 elections,” Omanhene said.
The NDC's Economic Lecture Series was organised to deal with what they said were some misleading facts and patent misstatements laced with populist rhetoric by Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the head of the government's Economic Management Team (EMT).
The town hall meeting was organised by the EMT in Accra on Wednesday to respond mainly to criticisms on the depreciation of the Cedi.
In a statement issued after the government's event, the General Secretary of the NDC stated that the Finance and Economic Team of the NDC through its leader, Isaac Adongo, will take advantage to address the numerous distortions and lay bare the true facts of the state of the Ghanaian economy.
The NDC's Economic Lecture Series was held at Mensvic Hotel on April 4, 2019.

You eaten too much food for your stomach to be like mount Everest so you can sit in the studio to insult people. Very soon you may join Kaba. What sense did barwumia make when he made his presentation, you couldn't insult him, but have the audacity to insult adongo just because he campared man city and stoke city with respect to the npp/ndc economic management. Uglyy faced journalist.
Omanhene dont talk as if u r suffering from premature ejaculation. People like u r the reason this country is suffering.
U this guy i thought there is some sense in your head. U seem to have lost your head over small money from NPP. U have no integrity at all
Omanhene see how u r exposing yourself. After taking money from your paymasters u talk as if there is kerosene in your head.
ADONGO IS BOLGA IBU
Listening to the NDC Economic team yesterday made me remember the days of Dr. Kwasi Botchwey,the late P.V.Obeng,the Ahwoi family and the others.Those days when they spoke,even if you don't belong to their party you will love to listen to them.Before God and man,if the party wants to be taken serious by the literates,then they really need to sit up and up their game if they want to win back power from the ruling party.To tell they truth, apart from John Jinapor, there was nothing said in yesterday's lecture that countered what the NPP did.I think if the name Walewale Adam Smith was used just once,it would have added a little seriousness to the shows.The whole thing looked like a comic show and over shadowed the purpose of the show.The party members should stop attacking people who are not singing their praises and think serious about the views being expressed.
Govt spokesperson person on media affairs
And how do you describe what Bawumia did? What has the fall of the cedi got to do with boot for chalewote? Shouldn't Agya koo be saying this instead of a vice president?
Oh NDC why do you lack intellectuals in your party? It seems all knowledgeable people in Ghana do not want to associate themselves with NDC. What we saw yesterday was a group of semi literates and clowns exposing their lack of knowledge in economics and finance mixed with concert party. NDC as a party is cursed and it founder is even ashamed to associate himself with the party.
See this ignoramus and tabula rasa...what do you know about economics? doing your paymasters bidding as usual talk to the ordinary man on the street and you will know how tough the economy is...spare us your sycophantic intuitions
