Energy Clergyman and legislator for Manhyia South Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh who has been introduced as the running mate to the flagbearer of the New Enthusiastic Party (NPP) has a few vital inquiries to respond to, Establishing Leader of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe has said.
According to Franklin Cudjoe, Dr. Opoku Prempeh, a former Minister of Education, will have to answer questions about the huge $ 2 billion energy sector deficit and how qualitatively he believes the country's free senior high school policy has increased GDP.
Mr. Cudjoe went on to discuss, "how and when he will ask his boss, Dr. Bawumia, to own up and man up to the economic decadence he has gloriously a part of," how he will deal with aggressive corruption, reduce "big daddy" expenditure plans, and so on.
Dr. Opoku Prempeh was presented by Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia at a time when a National Investigation Bureau survey indicated that he would be the running mate.
The study drew in 5,116 NPP assigns across the country, including public, local, body electorate, and surveying station chiefs.
As indicated by the review, Dr Opoku Prempeh got 76.2% of the reactions from leaders surveyed.
Franklin Cudjoe stated, "So it is true, Napo is running mate to Bawumia," in a Facebook post. Gratitude for affirming, people. I believe it was a difficult choice because of his well-known public comments and posture on important issues.
“I do know, though, that he can be serious when he wants to be. When he was the ranking member of the health committee in Parliament under the late Atta Mills, I admired his professionalism. I had been asked to testify about certain aspects of the public health bill that were harmful to civil liberties at the meeting of the health committee that he was leading. The bill was eventually approved.
After becoming the first education minister in 2017, he invited a small group of people to a meeting to discuss how he planned to implement the free SHS promise. I was in that group. When there was no policy document to guide the program's implementation, it was a difficult conversation. Despite the flaws, he pounded through the implementation. However, the difficulties have come full circle.
"Napo is his own worst enemy. When he wants to, he can be abrasive. However, with a $2 billion deficit in the energy sector, he must now be serious and be prepared to answer questions about wasted efforts. He should let us know how subjectively he thinks free SHS had added to the nation's Gross domestic product lastly the way in which he will manage forceful defilement, lessen large daddy consumption plans and how and when he will ask his chief, Bawumia to claim up and man up to the monetary debauchery he has been wonderfully a piece of. I'm thinking of Napo and his boss.
