“Bawumia is coming with problem-solving solutions”

The Campaign Manager of the governing New Patriotic Party’s flagbearer, Mr. Fredrick Opare-Ansah, has emphasised that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is bringing strong and innovative problem-solving solutions to secure Ghana’s economic future.

In an interview on Kumasi-based Hello FM, he said the Vice- President’s vision includes providing possible solutions to various sectors of the local economy. He, therefore, stressed the need to consult stakeholders across the country to discuss progress and future plans under the government’s development agenda.

Allegations

Responding to allegations of corruption against the NPP by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) , Mr. Opare-Ansah explained that the digital transformation agenda is a tool to curb corruption and enhance business operations in the country.

He noted that digitalization provides an audit trail for record purposes and aids in the verification and tracking of various types of transactions, including accounting transactions and trades in brokerage accounts.

According to him, the NPP has taken the fight against corruption one step at a time. “We created the Office of the Special Prosecutor to deal with the canker, and now we have digitalization to also complement it.
“The NPP is very much interested in the significant growth of Ghana, and our government since 2017 has been consistent in the fight against corruption.

The latest to combat corruption is digitalization, as every transaction is recorded, even on your mobile phone. Both the sender and the receiver have records to show for any transaction, making tracking easier and checking corruption,” he stressed.

Scrutinise

The Campaign Manager encouraged the media to carefully scrutinize issues of national interest before bringing them to the public.

He was particular about baseless corruption allegations against the NPP in the media, which paint a bad picture of the country globally.

Mr. Fredrick Opare-Ansah noted that “researchers only rank a country or institution as high or low in corruption based on the perception in the media. I advise that we get our facts right before speaking on such issues for the good of Ghana.”
