Sam George made a post about the ECG prepaid system shut down. He was very reliably informed it was an internal job to prevent an Audit from discovering theft. Do you remember how in 2014 people intentionally burnt down (according to formal investigations released in 2016) the Central Medical Stores to hide the theft of 100s of millions just after the then Minister of Health started investigations there? It is the same thing Sam George was talking about.
A few hours later some of us got to know that big people in his party NDC and those in charge of the Propaganda secretariat had called him to pull it down cos they were already planning a lie around the issue to hang it around the neck of Bawumia. He is their threat.
And they didn’t disappoint. They have started flying a stupid story of Bawumia wanting to give the contract to a certain company and that is why the system was down.
Well, this is a Party that has a PROPAGANDA wing with National Officers. They sit down to plan lies, disinformation and bogey stories.
They called one such plan “The Gizelle Yagzi Project” where they were able to convince a lot of DAMN GULLIBLE Ghanaians that Kufuor had twins with the woman. They even gave them names. Philip Kufuor and whatever.
You had high ranking journalists from top rated media houses wasting weeks and months on a story that sounded so foolish it beggared belief. The woman could not produce even a picture of the twins.
She claimed she was bringing them to Ghana and never arrived. Still, we had people giving the story currency. It took Audrey Gadzkepo one fine morning on Komla Dumor’s show to hammer it down everyone’s ears how silly a story it was and how pathetic it was that the whole nation was wasting so much time on such nonsense.
Abdul Malik Kweku Baako exposed her finally one Saturday morning or so , and everyone went on with their lives. Years later some NDC operatives confessed it was a WELL PLANNED LIE. But the GULLIBILITY of many Ghanaians especially media houses gave the NDC Propaganda secretariat faith and hope. They know many believe whatever they hear especially if it is on radio or TV
So heck. They must weave lies and fake stories around Bawumia. They know the economy will revive nicely in a year or two and they will have very little to say about Bawumia. As such the next thing is to use stories of corruption, then also give the impression that Digitalisation is not working.
*** Don’t be surprised if they intentionally Sabotage some of these digitalisation projects from now on to discomfort Ghanaians and blame it on Bawumia. They know they will get believers.***
After all they told us Kufuor had stolen all of Ghana’s gold reserves only to apologize that it was lie when they won elections. And oh, you had educated people believing that folly then too.
Sorry NDC, but this particular attempt to lie about Bawumia has been shot down by your own MP who wrote what he knew out of patriotism.
