Earlier today, my response to SONA was to simply say: Give to Bawumia What Belongs to Bawumia. I’ve had a few enquiries to explain. What we heard today at the President’s State of the Nation Address was a celebration without acknowledgment. The President stood tall, applauding his own performance, yet failed to admit that the script he was reading was written before he arrived on 7 January 2025. The fiscal space he now enjoys was created through the painful sacrifices of bondholders and the difficult reforms undertaken by the previous NPP administration. Gratitude costs nothing, Mr President, but it has been withheld. On the economy and the strength of the Cedi, the facts are even clearer. The stabilisation measures did not fall from the sky. The Gold for Oil programme, Gold for Forex, and Gold for Reserves, the strategic decision to increase gold reserves at the Bank of Ghana were the brainchildren of former Vice President @MBawumia. The gold buffers that provided confidence, the framework that steadied the currency, and the foundation that made today’s stability possible were already in place before 2025. In 2024, GDP had crossed one trillion cedis for the first time and growth stood at 5.7%. Over 30 tonnes of gold had been accumulated. The groundwork was done; the plane had already taken off, Mr President. This government simply walked into a prepared room and is now taking a bow. There is nothing wrong with continuing a good policy. But let us be honest enough to give credit where it is due. So I repeat: Give to Bawumia what belongs to Bawumia.
