ECONOMIC COMMITTEE OF CABINET VRS ECONOMIC MANAGEMENT TEAM

 


Those of us trying to make a case for Hon. Alan kyeremanten and making it look as if Dr. Bawumia was in charge of the government and Chief Alan was just an observer should kindly get this clear.


Chief Alan was the chairman of the Economic Committee of the cabinet. A position he held for 6 years before his resignation. The distinction between the Economic committee of the cabinet and the Economic Management Team is very clear and concise.

 

Cabinet and its committees ie. The Economic Committee of the cabinet is a creation of the constitution (article 76) meaning no government can do without that it will be in breach of the constitution.


The EMT is not a creation of the constitution but a cabinet, in, fact future governments can decide to dissolve the EMT. To put it, EMT is a subset of Cabinet.


Economic Committees of Cabinet are restricted to only Members of the cabinet. And membership of the Cabinet is restricted to not more than 19 Ministers of State.


EMT has no constitutional limitations in terms of membership, ie. anyone Cabinet sees to be competent can be recommended to EMT. Appointments to EMTs are done by the cabinet.


The roles and duties of the Economic Committee of the cabinet are spelled out by law whiles the roles and duties of the EMT are spelled out by the cabinet.


It is important to note that  EMT has no constitutional basis but has been adopted by precedents, not by law which means its recommendations are not legally binding to the cabinet. The cabinet can decide whether to implement the recommendations of EMT or not depending on the interest of the cabinet.


On whether EMT is bigger than the Economic committee of the cabinet or not the answer is spelled out in article 76 of the constitution the roles and definition of the cabinet.

EMT in itself is an establishment of a cabinet. 


So those who are saying EMT is bigger than the economic management Committee so go and read article 76 of the constitution and come again.


In conclusion, chief Alan as the chairman of the Economic Management Committee had a bigger responsibility than the Chairman of EMT so he can not insulate himself from the current economic struggle. His committee should take responsibility for the situation we find ourselves in now.  


If today chief Alan is telling Ghanaians he is finding it difficult to craft a message for election 2024 because the economy isn't doing well then I think he should blame himself. 


Dear delegates, please I will once again entreat you to kindly treat any candidate who comes to you to blame the government of President Akufo Addo for the global economic hitches with the contempt they deserve. 


Those candidates can not survive any election if they claim the government has failed.


Thank you.


Best regards

DR BAWUMIA'S DIGITIZATION JOURNEY, SO FAR SO GOOD

Image
  The Vice President of Ghana Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia a renounced economist and Digitization advocate has over the years trumpeted the need for African countries to embrace Digitization as a key  to leapfrogging the advanced countries.  The Vice President position on digitization has been mocked by the opposition NDC as they say the Vice President is running from the economy to hide behind digitization. The opposition has downplayed the connection between Digitization and the economy. According to the Vice President there is no way we can get a strong economy without digitization, How could the government increase revenue at the port without digitization (Paperless Port) , how could could ghost names be expunged from the government payroll without digitization, how could the economy grow without a proper addressing system, how could healthcare reach our remote areas without digitization (Drone delivery system), how could we get a strong banking sector without digitization , how could Ghan

HIGHLIGHTS OF PUBLIC ENDORSEMENTS OF DR. BAWUMIA'S PRESIDENTIAL BID

  As the NPP prepares to choose a successor to President Akufo-Addo as the flagbearer of the party to break the 8 years NPP/ NDC political baton, It is believes that the contest will be between Hon. Alan kyeremanteng, the former Trade Minister and Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, the vice President with a Hon. Kennedy Agyapong as a third force. This article focuses on public endorsement made by important public figures both from within the party and outside the party. I would like to start with the Asantehene, Nana Otumfuo Osei Tutu.  " *How sad that she will not be around to see what the future holds for her Son" "but indeed the matriarch can depart in response to call of her creator in the knowledge that she has impacted upon her nation as few ever would in their lives and above all, that the nation will continue to enjoy the fruit of her endeavor long many generations to come* Nana said this when he gave a tribute at the Vice President's Mother's funeral.

HON. ALAN KYEREMANTENG SHOULD MUSTER THE COURAGE TO CALL THE LIKES OF HON. AYEH PAYE TO ORDER

  All too soon the New Patriotic Party will be going to congress to elect a flagbearer to replace the President, Nana Akufo Addo in an interesting contest between the first class Vice President, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia and Hon. Alan Kwadwo Kyeremanteng, the former Trade Minister and a former resignee of the NPP. Even though national council is yet to come out with timelines for the elections there have been a lot of public pronouncements by sympathizers of both candidates . This write up  seeks to draw  the attention of delegates to some shameful and unfortunate pronouncements been made by campaign team members of the former Trade Minister who also doubles as a former resignee of the party. From a trend analysis of public pronouncements and utterances by key members  Hon. Alan kyeremanteng campaign team it is very clear the  message of Hon. Alan kyeremanteng going into the contest.  The fulcrum of Hon. Alan kyeremanteng's campaign is sadly positioned on a religion. ie Playing the reli
