Who launches an electronic gate in a big airport? I'm so shy – Franklin Cudjoe mocks Bawumia

Founder of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe has teased the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia over the commissioning of the electronic gate at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA).

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia on Tuesday, December 3, launched a cutting-edge Digital Border Control System and e-gates at KIA, Accra.

The system integrates artificial intelligence, biometrics, and real-time data processing, streamlining airport procedures.

Reacting to the launch, Franklin Cudjoe in a post on Facebook mocked Dr. Bawumia, arguing that he has abandoned the economy and is now taking solace in apps that teenagers are developing around the world without fanfare.

“Now the man has abandoned all those true moments of contributing to the intellectual discourse and now happily finding solace in apps teenagers are developing everyday around the world without funfare. He's buried his head in the sand. Who launches an electronic gate in a big airport? I'm so shy,” Franklin Cudjoe wrote in his post.

Looking back at how Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia was touted as the genius to save Ghana’s economy, the IMANI Africa founder said the Vice President has rather contributed to the country’s economic downfall.

He wrote, “Right now, l am just playing back all the great soundbites Bawumia gave us during his numerous long economic lectures, and they could fill the whole Koran and the Bible. And they were true. However, after contributing heavily as the architect of economic wizadry to the carnage with our economy downgraded to junk status, over borrowed and debt crippled, there are no signs of the great lectures.”
