Secondly, we shall catalog other key criticisms where the facts available offer no other conclusions other than those reached by Dr. Bawumia (let’s call these ‘category B’). Claim: NPP increased minimum wage by 240% over its 8 year period. So Dr. Bawumia is not dead-on accurate, but his general point is valid.

Comment: Dr. Bawumia appears to be using the budget estimate of GHS 11 billion as the benchmark.
