President Mahama has dared the vice presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to come clear on the cost of the redenomination exercise undertaken by the Kufuor administration before tagging him as incompetent.
Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has been critical of the Mahama-led regime criticizing his government of mismanaging the economy. President Mahama who has been touring the Greater Accra region has been responding to his opponents in the NPP.
“Do we remember the cedi redenomination under President Kufuor? During that time, someone was the Deputy Bank of Ghana and up till now, even me as a President do not know the cost of the redenomination exercise,” President Mahama said at a rally in the Ablekuma North constituency in Accra.
“Up till today, no Ghanaian knows the cost of the redenomination exercise and the same people come and say someone is incompetent. When you redenominated the cedi how much did it cost us? Simple things like these you cannot tell us and you have the nerve to come and talk about corruption. Look in the mirror and look at yourselves.
“Take the log out of your eye before you point at the mote in somebody’s eye. Only God doesn’t make mistakes. I am human, I am not God.
I am not saying I have done so much but I have done what I can and if others say they have not noticed what I have done, God who is in heaven is my witness and he sees the good works NDC has done,” President Mahama said.
