Kumawood Actor Kwaku Manu has questioned the brain behind the credit scoring Dr Mahamudu Bawumia intends to introduce if made President.
To him, credit scoring cannot be introduced in Ghana because the number of unemployed persons in the country outnumbers the number of employed persons in the country.
“I believe that creating jobs is better than providing people with credit cards. In the Western world, credit cards are given to people who work and earn a living. Without enough revenue, the Banks will not even give you a credit card. In Ghana, the unemployed people outnumber the people who are employed.
Even those who are employed are not paid well to be creditworthy, so what is he saying? How many people in Ghana earn more than Ghc 1,500, and how many people in Ghana earn Ghc 3,000? It doesn’t happen so most Ghanaians are not creditworthy, so this is not the time for such a policy,” he said.
Sounding extremely disdained over Ghana’s situation and the worrying economic challenges in the country, Kwaku Manu indicated that people who are seen as successful in families go through struggles and cannot even have fun because everyone in their family depends on them.
