" \"Tell us how to truly move from taxation to production\" - IMANI boss urges Bawumia on February 7 national address \r\n\r\nFranklin Cudjoe, the founding President of IMANI Ghana, has articulated his expectations for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's national address on his vision for Ghana, scheduled for February 7, 2024, at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA).\r\n\r\nThis is in view of the Vice President's bid to run for president this year - 2024.\r\n\r\nMr Cudjoe emphasized the need for Dr. Bawumia's promises to reflect bold solutions for the future, urging a departure from the practices of President Akufo-Addo's administration.\r\n\r\nHe highlighted several concerns, including excessive spending on procurement-driven projects, questionable tax exemptions, bloated government machinery, and a perceived lack of respect for the rule of law.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, Mr Cudjoe called for concrete plans on how Dr. Bawumia intends to transition Ghana from a taxation-based economy to one focused on production, as well as strategies to avoid another debt restructuring in 2025.\r\n\r\n\"And please no laughter, no Mahama jabs and jokes. We are at war, economic and governance war to defeat the ills in the last 4 years. Boldness and truth are required. You can and it is possible. Now speak. May it be worth our while,\" he added.\r\n\r\nMr Cudjoe's remarks underscore the expectations of many Ghanaians for transparent, accountable, and forward-thinking governance, emphasizing the need for practical solutions to address economic challenges and uphold the rule of law.\r\n\r\n Read details of Mr Cudjoe's post below: \r\n\r\n February 7, 2024. 4:00PM @UPSA. I look forward to listening to what <a class=\"x1i10hfl xjbqb8w x1ejq31n xd10rxx x1sy0etr x17r0tee x972fbf xcfux6l x1qhh985 xm0m39n x9f619 x1ypdohk xt0psk2 xe8uvvx xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x16tdsg8 x1hl2dhg xggy1nq x1a2a7pz xt0b8zv x1fey0fg xo1l8bm\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/MBawumia?__cft__[0]=AZUN-nfp0j-v_JnZfhEggpoghP-_da5iDuXNHJ8dPDTBjzKFfh-U40SX4vvo6vUPP1TW-JnSUYSwWDHQHSlfU8N4ud6xCTunw98x_CtUlMxhHhh4Vre2li5OWivzy9yYq3twPqkLZG55zui_aJRTq0bqzxYP7B11X0aw3CT_Faqz_GkXPm1M3wPhs5onVGJAxYI&__tn__=-]K-R\"> Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia promises to be \"selfless leadership and bold solutions for the future\". It better be different from what his boss served us in terms of cost,[ needless multi-million dollar procurement-driven projects, questionable crony-capitalist tax exemptions- 12.5bn cedis alone in 2024 when we expect to generate 11bn cedis, bloated Office of Government Machinery drawing 100% more funds in 2024, a year of apparent austerity]. No respect for the rule of law [Justice for SALL, no chasing and punching down anti-corruption tsars like Auditor-General, OSP, independent activists and finding the killers of Ahmed Suale and 7 killed in election 2020], passive aggressive behaviour in fighting monumental graft and theft, [ setting up ineffective investigations]. Above all, please tell us how to truly move the country from taxation to production and how to avoid another debt restructuring in 2025. And please no laughter, no Mahama jabs and jokes. We are at war, economic and governance war to defeat the ills in the last 4 years. Boldness and truth are required. You can and it is possible. Now speak. May it be worth our while. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n "
