Mr Gedel who doubles as a former and NDC Representative on Inter-Party Advisory
Committee (IPAC) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)-Ghana argued that Ghana's high debt-to-GDP ratio threatens economic stability, exacerbated by almost eight years of economic hardships, that hindered growth.
He noted that the banking system's instability and galamsey's devastating environmental impact further compound the nation's challenges.
Environmental degradation, largely fueled by illegal mining, imperils ecosystems, and water sources.
He was of the view that judiciary's manipulation undermines trust in Ghana's justice system, stressing that the selective justice and political interference erode confidence, while unfulfilled promises and inadequate infrastructure development worsen economic hardships.
He added that unpaid teacher and nursing training allowances exemplify broken manifesto pledges.
He argued that Dr. Bawumia, as Vice President and Economic Management Team head, bears responsibility for Ghana's economic challenges. His administration's decisions, such as prioritizing political interests over national development, warrant scrutiny.
According tonhim, Ghanaians deserve honest answers, not deflection tactics. Dr. Bawumia must directly address the five questions posed by John Mahama, providing clarity on his economic accomplishments and challenges.
He said Ghanaians eagerly await straightforward answers, not diversionary tactics, adding that the nation demands transparency on economic mismanagement, crippling debt, inflation and social welfare shortcomings.
He indicated NDC's readiness to tackle Ghana's socio-economic crisis is evident, as highlighted by John Mahama in his February 2024 policy dialogue Dr. Bawumia's clear responses will demonstrate accountability and commitment to Ghana's progress.
