Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia,
Once upon a time in the Republic of Uncommon Sense, a learned economist discovered a new branch of economics — Partisan Wealth Theory. The theory is simple: when the nation sinks, a few must float… preferably those close enough to the life jackets of power.
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the digital apostle and former Vice President, recently confessed on live television that under his watch, “a lot of people in the party who were not rich became very rich.” Aha! The prophet has spoken. At last, the mystery of Ghana’s disappearing prosperity is solved. The cedi didn’t just vanish; it was transferred.
The Miracle of the Multiplying Millions
In the Holy Book of Governance, Chapter IMF, Verse Default, it is written: “Blessed are the connected, for they shall inherit the contracts.” While ordinary citizens were calculating the price of tomatoes with scientific calculators, some were calculating profit margins on asphalt they never poured.
The average Ghanaian was fighting inflation; others were fighting over who got the next V8 allocation.
Dr. Bawumia didn’t just make people rich — he performed an economic resurrection. Men who once borrowed transport fare to party meetings suddenly became landowners, entrepreneurs, and philanthropists overnight. Party offices turned into mini stock exchanges, where loyalty traded higher than hard work.
The Cat, the Bag, and the Ghanaian Voter
When Dr. Bawumia let the cat out of the bag, he forgot that Ghanaians have long suspected the meowing. We saw it in the imported mansions, the sudden foreign scholarships, and the mysterious fuel coupons that multiplied like fish and bread.
But his boldness deserves applause — or perhaps an audit. To say, without flinching, that one’s tenure turned paupers into plutocrats is not an act of humility. It’s a slip of the velvet glove revealing the iron fist of crony capitalism. The cat may be out, but it has scratched our conscience on the way.
Gratitude or Gravy Train?
The former Vice President didn’t stop at confession; he demanded gratitude. He wants his newly rich disciples to “bring out the money” for the 2028 campaign. Oh yes — in the Republic of Uncommon Sense, corruption has gone subscription-based. You pay to play, and when the music stops, everyone claims they were just dancing to the economy’s tune.
But here’s the punchline: he didn’t mean wealth for market women or farmers. No, no — he wasn’t talking about the mason who mixes cement with tears or the nurse who survives on borrowed airtime. He meant the chosen few — apostles of the ruling faith, baptised in state contracts and confirmed by sole-sourcing.
An Economy of the Connected
Dr. Bawumia’s words are not mere gaffes; they are historical footnotes to an era when governance became a get-rich-quick scheme. The people were told to digitise their lives; meanwhile, others were digitising their bank accounts.
He told us to believe in the Ghana Card. Maybe we should have — it seems to have been the real ATM.
The People’s Verdict
Ghanaians deserve answers, not sermons. We need to know how this wealth was created. Was it through innovation, entrepreneurship, or simply proximity to power? If the former, Dr. Bawumia deserves a Nobel Prize in Economic Alchemy. If the latter, he owes us a national apology — and perhaps a refund.
Until then, every time he says “We made people rich,” the Republic will reply, “Yes, but which people?”
Final Benediction
In this Republic, where logic took an IMF loan and never returned, we’ve learned one thing: whenever a politician brags about making others rich, the rest of us should check our wallets.
Because here, wealth doesn’t trickle down — it leaks sideways.
Signed,
Jimmy Aglah
The Republic of Uncommon Sense
(Where we count our blessings — and someone else’s bank balance — one confession at a time.)
Before you quietly close this tab to go and check your MoMo balance — pause.
If you laughed, sighed, or shouted “Ei, Bawumia!” while reading, then you, my friend, are a certified citizen of the Republic of Uncommon Sense.
Now do your national duty:
- Drop your thoughts in the comments like you’re filing a corruption report.
- Share this post before someone rich from politics buys the internet.
Remember — in this Republic, silence is expensive, but laughter is free.
