Yaw Mordey

Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was elected as Ghana’s president on a promise to root out rampant corruption in government that has seen thousands of dollars of public money stolen over decades.

But since his landmark election win in 2016, he has yet to secure a high-profile conviction for graft while the main opposition accuses him of mounting a political witch-hunt.

Now, a growing scandal involving a civil servant has engulfed the presidency, giving Nana Addo’s detractors fresh ammunition and raising questions about his commitment to fighting corruption.

The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has predictably seized on the affair, claiming it showed the government’s fight against corruption to be “mere propaganda”.

For Economist and Data Scientist, David Yaw Mordey, “the questions are how much control and understanding does Vice President Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia have over the Banking sector crisis”.

He has in a statement put 555 questions to Dr. Bawumia, demanding to know the thinking that went into the closure of Banks and microfinance institutions.

Read below the full statement by Yaw Moedey…..

Economist bulldozes Bawumia with 555 Questions on the Banking Sector Crisis

Mr. Vice President, I write to remind you of your deliberate diabolism in handling the self-imposed banking sector crisis. I promised you some questions on the crisis in my previous letter entitled “Your 7% Average GDP Growth very useless: Economist chases Bawumia with 301 Questions in a Letter.” In that letter, I proved to Ghanaians why your three-month average GDP growth of 7% is very useless. Today, Ghana is expected to grow at 0.90%, while countries like Benin, Togo, Burkina Faso, etc., are growing at 6.9%, 5.3%, and 5.7%, respectively. My concern in this current episode of the Mordey-Bawumia series has to do with the 958,000 job losses caused by the banking sector crisis and its ramifications on the economy of Ghana.

The flow of money in the economy is analogous to that of human blood circulation. The blood transmit digested food to the various cells in the body, oxygen from the respiratory surface to the buccal cavity of the human tissues, and carbon dioxide from the tissue to the respiratory surface, among others. These transmissions are carried out by the arteries in the human body just as the banks work in the economy. The banks are in the business of transmitting funds from surplus units to deficit units in the economy by collecting deposits and lending them to entities and individuals for various economic activities. Therefore, the banking sub-sector of the service sector serves as the accelerator of economic growth. Dr. Bawumia, I gave you this hypothetical lecture for you to appreciate the role of the banks in ensuring sustainable development. Your government chose to destroy the very foundation, which has been celebrated all over the world as the anchor for mobilizing savings and investment for growth. The 2017-2020 banking sector crisis has resulted in a reduction in the service sector’s contribution to total output from 56.8% in 2016 to 44.1% in 2019 and is expected to dip further to about 39.5% by the end of 2020. Mr. Vice President, you ought to explain to Ghanaians the reason behind such a development. You are in a better position to provide the appropriate response to the issues at hand and the 555 questions in the subsequent paragraphs of this letter.

Before I proceed, please permit me to review the findings in the 2015 banking sector report of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), which according to you, provided the justification for the closure of 9 local universal banks, 53 fund management firms, and 347 microfinance and microcredit companies in the country. Mr. Vice President, you failed to peruse the report thoroughly as expected of every economist but jumped in the gun to destroy local banks and many other financial institutions in the country. The report suggests that despite the reduction in banks’ total revenue, net profit after tax, asset quality, liquidity and share of income from fees and commission as well as rising operational inefficiencies in 2015, there seems to be some appreciable increase in interest income from loans and investment income share. The BoG concluded that the banking sector was sound and solvent enough to service essential obligations in the industry. Interestingly, the central bank also expected the banks to improve their performance following the fixing of the then energy sector crisis (solved by the NDC government) and enhanced fiscal consolidation (executed by the NPP government) coupled with the emerging stability in the exchange rate movement (as a result of instabilities in the US economy and the coronavirus pandemic).

Yet, there were fundamental issues with the banking sector, which needed to be fixed. The problems at hand demanded pragmatism and not political witch-hunting and aggrandizement. Mr. Vice President, instead of triggering Section 62 and 70 of the Bank of Ghana Act of 2002 (Act 612), which mandate the BoG to provide training programs for the licensed banks on asset management, you chose to ineptly provide them with liquidity support and later collapsed them after you sensed wastages. For instance, instead of applying the law as expected, you chose to grant seven banks (United Trust (UT) Bank, Capital Bank, Beige Bank, Sovereign Bank, Construction Bank, The Royal Bank, and UniBank) GHC4.7 billion and another GHC10 billion to take care of depositors’ demands. Having committed our scarce resources to such needless decision, you went on to collapse those banks and expended an additional GHC6.3 billion to no avail. In all, you wasted our GHC21 billion to collapse our indigenous banks and many other financial institutions that needed just GHC6 billion to survive through training programs and a few investments (Section 2A of Bank of Ghana (Amendment) Act of 2016, Act 918)  in the provision of liquidity. Dr. Bawumia, I won’t let you go scot-free; you deserve my 555. I need answers to the following questions on the banking sector:

Fundamental Issues

  1. Have you personally read the 2015 banking sector report of the BoG?
  2. If yes, what informed your decision to allow the BoG to collapse the financial institutions?
  3. Do you understand the role of banks in accelerating growth and development?
  4. Do you understand why the closure of just one bank can trigger the collapse of firms in unrelated industries?
  5. Does it make economic sense to increase the minimum capital requirement by 233.3% just to collapse the local banks while keeping the colonial banks and other foreign banks in operation?
  6. Are you happy about the 958,000 job losses caused by the banking sector crisis? The crisis activated the closure of companies from other industries leading to a massive layoff of labour across the country.
  7. Do you know that after your so-called banking sector reform, the banks’ return on equity has fallen from 21.4% in 2015 to 19.9% in 2019?
  8. Do you also know that after your so-called banking sector reform, the banks’ return on assets has fallen from 4.5% in 2015 to 4.1% in 2019?
  9. Again, do you know that after your so-called banking sector reform, the banks’ return on earning assets has reduced from 6.1% in 2015 to 5.6% in 2019?
  10. Do you know that after your so-called banking sector reform, the banks’ return on earning assets has fallen from 13.8% in 2015 to 10.9% in 2019?
  11. Do you understand why the issue of unemployment remains relevant in this year’s election?
  12. Why has the service sector’s contribution to total output reduced from 56.8% in 2016 to 44.1% in 2019?
  13. Why is Ghana expected to grow at 0.90% in 2020?
  14. What have you done with the coronavirus cash of over US$2.5 billion in less than two years?
  15. What is your take on the loss of about GHC9.6 billion to corruption annually?
  16. Your boss, the President of the Republic of Ghana, was caught on camera collecting a bribe of US$40,000 to consider the stay-in-office of the Urban Roads Director, explain.
  17. Can you take a bold step to resign as vice president to support the fight against corruption?

Mr. Vice President, Ghanaians demand answers to the afore-stated issues ahead of the December 7 general elections. These issues are critical to the future of our country, considering the magnitude of job losses caused by the banking sector crisis and the GHC38.4 billion lost to corruption in the past four years. I will personally plead with you for a debate on the economy after the general election for a thorough assessment of your four years in office.

Thank you,

SGD
