The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, reiterated his commitment to training approximately one million young Ghanaians in coding and software applications if he wins the 2024 elections.
Speaking at a gathering in Kwahu Mpraeso on Saturday, March 30, 2024, after a special Easter health walk, Bawumia highlighted the crucial role of technology in shaping the future and stressed the need to leverage its advantages.
He emphasised, “The future is technology, and the youth of this country are essential to drive what we want to do in technological advancement. That is why I have said we will train about 1 million young Ghanaians in coding and software applications under my presidency.”
Additionally, Bawumia promised to implement bold decisions if elected, including a new tax system.
He said, “A vote for me is a vote for bold solutions. And a vote for my opponent is a vote for old solutions. I am coming with new ideas and bold solutions to move our country forward. As I have said, I am coming with a new tax system which will bring a flat tax rate and also grant tax amnesty to businesses and individuals.”
