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.

The Concert party which was performed by the NDC was really funny, I could not help but laugh throughout. Are there no credibly economists powers in the opposition Ndc ??. IoL
The truth they say rally hurt. Omenhene has said it all..... and those insulting him can go and crash their heads on Donald Tramp "America Wall".
Omanhene couldn't hide his emotion anymore because he feels they punch so much holes in Bawumia's lecture. He is angry cos NPP liars couldn't stand. A serious journalist must be at least truthful.
You have finally told the whole world that you are an npp member and we don't need any further clarification, I thought journalist are supposed to be neutral when it come to politics but is rather the opposite, yoooo don't complain when any other party comes to power and they side line you. so shameful
This is the sort of ***barred word*** that comes out when we allow stupiidity, lack of common sense and tribalism to take the lead. Who does not know that cost of living is unbearable in the country. Go talk to ordinary makola market woman and one would get a perfect answer. Ghanaians have a right to demand solutions to the problems and not excuses. When we allow iidiotism instead of common sense to correct our wrong doing then ghana would not achieve shiit. Not sure if this guy knows that dumso is back with ***barred word*** excuses
Say it as it is and not otherwise. Assembled clown on stage cracking funny jokes. If you describe somebody as 'Walewale Adam Smith', then can you be described as 'Bolga Buuluu"?
omanhene is not suppose to be journalist, he better declare himself npp spokesman, he didnt see anything wrong with bawumial abysmal economic performance, but see ndc lecture as ***barred word***, god save Ghana journalist. is time ndc communicators avoid going to his program, because is not neutral
is this so call Omanhene serious at all. no wonder he is doing his paymasters job. bawumialiar was more than comedian. he himself omanhene is a joker.
