Ningo-Prampram's Member of Parliament (MP), Sam George, has expressed his steadfast stance against what he perceives as unfulfilled promises by Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, emphasizing a lack of tolerance for deceit.
In an interview with GhanaWeb, Sam George cautioned Ghanaians against being misled by Bawumia's statements, utilizing the Nigerian slang 'no gree for anybody' to convey the importance of not succumbing to manipulation or deception.
Citing instances where he believes Bawumia has fallen short, Sam George pointed to the disputed claim of digitizing corruption at the passport office, challenging the authenticity of Bawumia's digitization assertions.
He also criticized the repeated promises made by Bawumia regarding Ghana Card numbers for children from birth, highlighting the inconsistency in the announcements.
Sam George went on to question Bawumia's credibility, citing unfulfilled promises such as the construction of 350 schools and the delay in providing laptops to teachers who had paid for them.
“When Dr. Bawumia talks, digitization has taken over corruption at the passport office, did you not see Minister for Foreign Affairs storm the place very angry to sack ‘goro boys’? So where was the digitization? Even that claim of digitization has been disputed by the Daily Graphic report of September 2016 when that project was launched. Even the fact-check Ghana has called Dr. Bawumia a liar for putting out such fake information. A man’s words are what you will judge him on. This is the same person who made promises that they will build 350 schools, promising tertiary student loan for laptops, meanwhile, he has taken money from teachers and they have not gotten their laptops yet.
“He promises that children will now get unique Ghana Card numbers from birth. This is a story that was first announced by Bawumia in November 2021. He again announced in April 2022, in June 2022, February 2023, and April 2023, so this is the 6th time Bawumia is making such a promise. The macro indicators Bawumia gave are false and misleading and you sit and ask who are his advisors."
The Ningo-Prampram MP further stated that, “You say you are the one responsible for all digitization stuff yet you say, as for the E-Levy, I am not part of it. I mean this is a man we have come to know, to understand and recognize him for who he is, that he is a confident trickster, and he is someone who is going to trick the words and use fluency and eloquence bamboozle through Ghanaians. Right now, our eyes are open and this year, 2024, the motto is ‘no gree for anybody’ not even Bawumia and his lies."
He criticized Bawumia's role in the controversial E-Levy, emphasizing the contradictory statement that he is not part of it despite being responsible for digitization efforts.
The Ningo-Prampram MP characterized Bawumia as a "confident trickster" and urged Ghanaians to be wary of his eloquence and fluency in delivering promises. With the motto for 2024 being 'no gree for anybody,' Sam George conveyed a clear message of skepticism towards Bawumia and his alleged lies.
Meanwhile, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party's Flagbearer, recently announced plans to abolish the E-Levy, Bet Tax, and Emissions Tax if elected as the President of Ghana.
This announcement follows the introduction of the controversial E-Levy in 2022, which had initially faced opposition from Bawumia.
