He ought to provide us with information on his experience creating digital infrastructure. only one. Tell him that the days are long gone when we were willing to give him the benefit of the doubt since we didn’t know him.

He has experience now. Wake him up from sleep whenever he is prepared. He has the option to pick the location, the moderator, and even the books he wants to use as a resource. If Bawumia wants to dispute his viewpoints and understanding of the economics and digitalization, just tell me when I’m awake and we’ll meet. Every careless and dishonest comment he makes would be met with a response from us.
