Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential candidate, has criticized John Dramani Mahama, flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), for underestimating the impact of digitalization on Ghana’s economy.
Speaking to the youth on Sunday, November 3, Bawumia emphasized digitalization’s crucial role in Ghana’s economic progress and highlighted its benefits for citizens.
Digitalization vs. Infrastructure
Bawumia argued that Mahama’s presidency was marred by economic challenges due to his lack of understanding of digital advancements.
He also downplayed Mahama’s emphasis on infrastructure development, suggesting it pales in comparison to the current administration’s digital-focused approach.
24-Hour Economy Policy Under Fire
Bawumia expressed skepticism about Mahama’s proposed “24-Hour Economy Policy,” questioning its feasibility. Mahama’s policy aims to revitalize Ghana’s economy through targeted interventions in sectors such as:
– 24-hour Agro-processing
– 24-hour Pharmaceutical industry
– 24-hour Manufacturing industry
– 24-hour Construction
– 24-hour Extractive industry (mining and quarrying)
– 24-hour Sanitation and waste management
– 24-hour Leisure and hospitality industry ¹
Call to Action
Bawumia urged voters to reject Mahama in the 2024 elections, citing his perceived lack of understanding of digital advancements. The NPP presidential candidate is confident that his party’s digitalization efforts will drive Ghana’s economic growth.
