Vice President of Ghana Mahamudu Bawumia has said that he entered politics primarily to assist in finding solutions to issues that the populace faces.
He asserts that a big part of politics and government is inheriting issues and resolving them.
Dr. Bawumia hinted that finding solutions to problems has mostly been the responsibility on his hands throughout the years. He h as served as an economic consultant for an international organization and as the Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana.
Dr. Bawumia stated that his current emphasis is to see to the reversal of Ghana’s economic issues through the support he is giving to President Nana Akufo-Addo in an interview with Kenyan television channel – KTN News.
“I enjoy what I do and I do find time to rest. The problems are so many and I am trying as much as possible to help my boss deal with a lot of these problems, because you inherit them and you would have to find solutions and for me that is why am in politics. Just to make sure you can help people solve problems and that is it,” he said.
The Vice President also pointed out that leaders’ failure to correctly diagnose issues is a key weakness in African leadership and government. According to his claim, people have a propensity to apply the wrong remedies to problems, which do not lead to their resolution.
“As in many issues to deal with the economy, the solutions are not really rocket science in the sense that it is about diagnosing the problems in the first place. If you misdiagnose, you would mistreat it and not medicate properly and may worsen the problem. Understanding the problem properly through people who are experts in the field and you see the sense in the advice as a policy make and choose the way to go,” Dr Bawumia added.
