Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the Vice President of Ghana believes that Mauritius and Rwanda present shining examples of strong economies worth emulating by Ghana.
The vice president, who has been vociferous on the need to strengthen the country’s economy and grow it to be independent of foreign aid said the two countries were on the right path in terms of economic management.
He said, “Rwanda and Mauritius are countries that Ghana can emulate from in strengthening the economy of Ghana.”
Dr Mahamudu Bawumia made the comment when he attended a summit at the Africa Leadership University (ALU) in Mauritius on Saturday [March 11, 2017].
While emphasizing the need for Africa to cut its dependence on foreign aids and handouts, he said, “Africans will only get the respect of the rest of the world if we emancipate ourselves economically. We don’t have to take begging bowls around
the world. We should look for investment, cooperation and partnerships.”
He also highlighted the need for the continent’s leaders to tap into the opportunities in education to raise transformational leaders.
Dr. Bawumia is in the Southern African country as a special guest for the country’s independence anniversary celebration on Sunday, 12th March, 2017.
He is expected to hold bilateral talks with the Presidemt, Mrs Ameenah Gurib-Fakim, Pravind Kumar Jugnauth, Prime Minister and other senior officials of the Mauritius government
He is in the company of Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, Minister for Foreign Affairs; Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, Minister for Communications; Ibrahim Awal, Minister for Business Development; Reginald Grant, Chief Executive Officer of Ghana Investment Promotion Centre; and other government officials.

the only thing this man know how to do best is to laugh like a moron ant to talk,talk and talk.we need action not kneeling down to kuffuor. you ***barred word*** too munch bawumia.be active like mahama for it's not about talking any how but work.ghanaian are not seeing anything going mr takertive.
PRIOR TO THE 2017 ELECTIONS DR. BAWUMIA PRESENTED HIMSELF AS MR. KNOW ALL BUT SUDDENLY HE SOUND AS THE SAME OLD PASS POLITICIANS.AS FOR HIM WE ARE WAITING. IF HE DOES NOT PERFORM THE ECONOMIC MAGIC HE CLAIM HE HAS WE SHALL SEE.
Bawumia is talking about the pragmatic economic policies of these two countries. YEBOPOWER, or whatever you call yourself, you don't measure good economic policies by the size of the country implementing such policies, neither do we judge the soundness of a policy by the mere absence of war and conflict. Whoever bases his assessment on these factors is NOT SERIOUS!
How can Ghana learn from Rwanda a country that is recovering from being war-torn? Seriously? Mauritius a tiny African country with virtually empty natural resources? Seriously? This Bawumia guy is not serious in any sense. He is already behaving like Mahama. Akufo Addo and his government cannot do anything for Ghana. They are yet to line up their pockets and feed their families and their cronies. Ghanaian politicians are really sorry. They are not problem solvers. They are just waiting for their turn to drain the swamp from the public purse. After 60years of existence of failed policies can any one say that there was no lesson learned from the failed policies of every government that come into place. What other lessons is Ghana supposed to learn and from whom? Rwanda? That is interesting.
Listen to ***barred word*** Bawumia
With all his too known and so called competence, he now thinks Ghana should rather learn from Rwanda and Mauritius, can you imagine this! This man was all over the place with his wife and father, akuffo addo, claiming they have all the best brains in the world, yet he is now telling us we need to go and learn from Rwanda and Mauritius. One thing Politian's don't learn is truth. Before you learn from Rwanda and Mauritius, ask of their population. Ghana under nkrumah and busia had about 6 million people and things were quite better than this time round so we need to understand the truth that our growing population coupled with global economic downturn are factors that impede our progress. Yes, we can learn from any country, but one thought with all your so called know it all mentality you wouldn't learn from Rwandans to make Ghana progress. Where is your economic expertise? Hypocrite.
So Bawumia's Ghana will learn from Rwanda and Mauritius? wonders shall never end. Is Bawumia no longer the best economist in the world who has magic wand to turn Ghana into semi heaven on earth? I lough enter NPP plagiarism head quarters.
Good one Mr. Vice president.... I'm happy you have benchmarked us with the likes of Rwanda and Mauritius. These countries walked the talk.... It's good you guys are in power now but not the ***barred word*** brigadiers.....i believe u will walk the talk.
WHY DON'T YOU TELL THAT TO TOUR BOSS THE EEDIOT, AND THEN START DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THAT..... M.UM.U.... YOU WERE NOT BROUGHT INTO OFFICE TO GIVE US LECTURES.... BUT TO DO THE THINGS YOU AND THE EEDIOT TOLD THE PEOPLE IS AMISS. IF TALK TALK SOLVES PROBLEMS,,,, THEN HITLER COULD HAVE WON THE WAR FOR GERMANY....
