The Vice President, Dr Bawumia on Tuesday morning granted an interview on Accra-based radio station Peace FM.

Dr Bawumia answered questions on the 2020 manifesto of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) which was launched over the weekend in Cape Coast.

The NPP has, among others, promised to build a harbour and ultra-modern airport in Cape Coast, set up large recording studios in Accra, Kumasi, Tamale and Takoradi.

The manifesto has since been criticised by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), describing it as deceptive, disappointing and disrespectful.

Some experts have also been scrutinising some of the items documented in the manifesto, particularly the proposed Cape Coast airport.

For instance, Dr Yakubu Akparibo, an aviation expert, has said the planned construction of an airport in the Central Region is not viable due to a plethora of reasons.

Watch Dr. Bawumia as he offered some explanations to the public:
