Stability by itself is meaningless unless it is linked to the total liberation of the pockets of Ghanaians – Dr Bawumia

Former Vice President and NPP Presidential Candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, emphasized during the NPP's National Thanksgiving Service in Sunyani that economic stability holds no value if it fails to directly benefit ordinary Ghanaians. He pointed out that the NDC government's touted stability is unimportant to the suffering populace.

Bawumia highlighted the existence of two distinct economies in Ghana: a paper economy where authorities claim inflation and exchange rates are decreasing, and a pocket economy marked by a high cost of living and the suffering of the people. He stressed that an economy's stability is meaningless if it does not lead to the liberation of the suffering of the Ghanaian people.

Dr. Bawumia argued that the reduction of inflation and the dollar's value should result in a more affordable and easier life for citizens, not exacerbate their hardships. He criticized the government for not delivering on its promises, such as cocoa farmers receiving GH¢6,000 per bag, cashew farmers expanding their farms, and key workers feeling the positive impacts of economic stability, citing increased electricity, water, petrol prices, and transport fares as evidence of the government's failure.
