A GROUP by name, Diaspora For Bawumia has indicated their readiness to vote for the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia on Saturday in the NPP flag-bearer election.

“We are solidly behind Dr Bawumia because we believe he has the competence,  character,  experience and temperament to lead us to win the upcoming 2024 elections”, Mr Ahenkorah stated.

Details:

Enumerating some of the works undertaken by the Vice-President, the Group’s Chairman said Dr Bawumia has ensured that services the state should render to the people were digitised.

He noted that outfits such as the National Health Insurance Scheme, the Electricity Company of Ghana, the Ghana Ports and Harbours, the Ghana Revenue Authority and the Ghana Passport Offices are now fully digitised.

These innovations, Mr Ahenkorah stressed had drastically reduced time  spent in seeking for these services, adding that corruption that was rampant at these outfits had also been eliminated.

“We believe aside the digitalisation agenda the Vice President has so far led, he has also introduced the QR code system which gets every person to pay for services and purchases using same seamlessly and for us all these have made Ghana to perform like the developed countries where some of us are coming from”, the Chairman stated.
