Isaac Adongo , Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central, has called out Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to a debate on Ghana’s economy and its digitalization agenda.
According to Hon. Adongo who is the Ranking Member on Parliament’s Finance Committee, Dr Bawumia, despite being worshipped as ‘The Economic Messiah’ of the New Patriotic Party(NPP), has made a little-to-nothing contribution to the economy, for his almost-seven years at the presidency.

Addressing the media in Parliament on Wednesday, June 21, Mr Isaac Adongo declared that he is prepared to challenge the Vice President on issues relating to the economy. He called on Dr. Bawumia to choose his own venue and moderator for an intellectual, factual debate.
“Now the economy has whipped you for you to move to Yahoo and you are saying you’re doing digitalization. He should tell us his track record in building infrastructure for digitalization. Just one. You people should tell him that the days we didn’t know him and gave him the benefit of the doubt is long gone.”
“He now has a track record. Anytime he is ready, wake up from sleep. He can choose his own venue, he can choose his own moderator and in fact, he can come with his books for reference. Just wake me up and say ‘Bawumia says he wants to debate his vision and knowledge about the economy and digitalization’ and I will meet. We would respond to him for every unguarded and lying statement he makes.”

Meanwhile, the second-term lawmaker said he does not have any cause to worry over, should the New Patriotic Party (NPP) choose him to lead them into the 2024 elections.
He added, however, that Mr. Bawumia must be factual in his remarks in the buildup to the 2024 polls.
“If NPP decide to choose him as their flagbearer, that is their problem but he must be factual. He must not take the people of Ghana for granted,” he added.
