Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has presented an ambitious strategy to revolutionize Ghana, with the objective of enhancing the quality of life for its citizens.
While campaigning in the Volta Region, Bawumia articulated a vision for a Ghana in which essential services and resources are readily available, akin to those found in developed nations.
I’m aiming to make life easier for Ghanaians if elected as President.
The Credit Score System: A Revolutionary Initiative
Dr. Bawumia emphasized the Credit Score System as a groundbreaking policy aimed at aligning Ghanaians with their counterparts in developed nations.
For the last two years, we have been working on putting together the credit score system for Ghana. My thinking was that next year we will finish. But by the grace of God, I am happy to say we have completed the work for the credit system to start.
Harnessing Solar Energy
Dr. Bawumia seeks to lower electricity expenses by utilizing solar energy to enhance Ghana’s power generation capacity.
We will set up a factory in Ghana to produce solar panels, creating jobs and building industrial capacity.
The Women Trade Empowerment
Dr. Bawumia aims to offer soft loans to women traders, thereby enabling them to grow their businesses.
The only requirement to obtain a loan will be a Ghana Card.
Agricultural Advancement
Dr. Bawumia intends to implement a model similar to the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP) within the agricultural sector, by positioning farming machinery in each district to support local farmers.
Furthermore, the Volta River will undergo mechanization and redirection to provide irrigation for agricultural lands, thereby improving crop yields.
Enhancing Traditional Leadership
Dr. Bawumia aims to empower traditional leaders to resolve local matters, thereby decreasing reliance on judicial courts. He announced that Queen Mothers, Divisional Chiefs, and Paramount Chiefs will be provided with living allowances to improve their quality of life.
Call to Action
Dr. Bawumia appealed to the Chiefs and residents of the Ho Central Constituency to support him in implementing his policies and initiatives, with the goal of advancing Ghana towards becoming a developed nation.
