Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, Sam George, has alleged that President Akufo-Addo strategically appointed Vice President Dr. Bawumia to cater to the business community's interests in Ghana.George asserts that Bawumia, once hailed as the 'economic wizkid,' fell short of expectations in handling economic challenges, leading to a change in narrative towards digitization.

George emphasised that Bawumia's initial role was presented as crucial in addressing economic issues, particularly the depreciation of the cedi.The MP highlighted the high expectations set by Akufo-Addo and the perceived expertise of Bawumia in the international business world, which garnered support from the middle class and floating voters during elections.

Expressing disappointment in Bawumia's performance, George questioned the reasons behind the Vice President's shift from leading economic matters to spearheading the digitization agenda.He remarked, "We were once told that Bawumia is the head of the economic committee, now we are being told he is head of digitization because of his failure in handling the economy."
