Director of Communications for Dr. Bawumia’s campaign, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, clarified the New Patriotic Party flagbearer’s promise to create a credit facility for citizens to purchase smartphones and pay in monthly installments of GH¢1 and GH¢2.
Dr. Bawumia’s pledge has stirred significant debate and controversy, particularly among the youth.
In his clarification on Atinka FM, Dennis Aboagye explained that the credit facility for smartphones is a common practice in more developed nations.
He pointed out that some telecommunications companies in Ghana already implement this policy to promote smartphone usage, which benefits the telecom providers.
“It’s a way the smartphone companies encourage their customers to patronize their products. It’s nothing new, and it’s highly possible. Don’t be deceived by the NDC’s propaganda. Dr. Bawumia is determined to implement this policy,” he opined.
