In an interview with KSM, which aired on Pan African TV on Friday, September 23, Annan defended his decision to question Bawumia citing how the Veep had previously tackled John Mahama while he was in opposition.

You know how to play the game,” he stressed.
He continued that if Bawumia sat back and refused take charge and allowed others to run down the economy, mentioning specifically the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, the only fitting adjective was to say, “they have failed.”
