During his campaign tour of the Central Region, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the Flagbearer of the NPP, reaffirmed his dedication to combating corruption, a key impediment to national progress.
Addressing the clergy in Cape Coast on Monday, June 3, Dr. Bawumia vowed to persist in his anti-corruption efforts, highlighting his achievements in leveraging digitalization to tackle corruption.
“Corruption in the public space is a significant barrier to our development, and the battle against it must persist. I have been, and continue to be, a dedicated combatant against corruption,” Dr. Bawumia stated.
He stressed the importance of robust systems in curbing corruption, advocating for proactive measures over superficial gestures.
“Effective systems are the key to fighting corruption, and I have been instrumental in developing digital systems designed to prevent corruption,” he explained.
Dr. Bawumia cited the successful removal of ghost names from the public payroll as evidence of the efficacy of well-designed systems in fighting corruption.
Assuring the clergy of increased accountability if elected President, Dr. Bawumia pledged to report back to the Ghanaian people on his governance and seek re-election.
