Ghana has “failed badly” if Dr. Bawumia is considered the greatest man of our time- CDD’s Dr. Asiedu Sarpong

Npp has been monumental failure in health employment- Dr Asiedu Sarpong
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

A recent honor bestowed upon Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has sparked heated debate, with some critics questioning the merits of the award.

Dr. Kwame Asiedu Sarpong, a fellow at CDD Ghana, took to Facebook to express his disdain, describing the award as an “insult” and implying that Ghana has “failed badly” if the Vice President is considered the greatest man of our time.

The prestigious Order of the Star of Ghana – Officer Award was bestowed upon Dr. Bawumia at the 2024 Ghana National Honours and Awards ceremony, held at the Accra International Conference Centre.

The award, presented by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, recognizes Dr. Bawumia’s exceptional service, dedication, and contributions to national development.

The Order of the Star of Ghana is the highest national honor, with the Officer rank representing exceptional service in both the public and private sectors.

“If this is the greatest man of our time then we have failed badly. Could the last man out of the country please turn off the light?”, Dr Sarpong posted on his wall.

However, Dr. Sarpong’s biting criticism has raised fundamental questions about the criteria for selecting award recipients and the significance of the honor.

In a separate Facebook post, Dr. Sarpong also inquired about the historical significance of the elephant emblem on national awards, such as the Order of Volta.

“Have the medals given to recipients of National Awards like the Order of Volta historically been embossed with the elephant ensign? “.

The CDD-fellow comments have sparked a lively discussion on social media, with some defending the Vice President’s achievements and others echoing Dr. Sarpong’s concerns.

At the heart of the controversy lies a deeper debate about the state of Ghana’s leadership and the country’s progress. As the nation grapples with pressing issues like economic growth, corruption, and infrastructure development, some are questioning whether the Vice President’s award is a genuine recognition of his achievements or a mere symbolic gesture.

As the dust settles, one thing is clear: this controversy has ignited a necessary conversation about the values and principles that should guide Ghana’s leadership.
