Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Vice-Presidential Candidate of NPP Flagbearer Nana Akufo-Addo, has noted that Ghanaians can have better lives devoid of the many hardships we face today with the right leadership as Ghana’s problem is not the lack of resources but corruption and mismanagement.
Dr. Bawumia added that for Ghanaians to see real change in their lives, there was the need to vote out the current John Mahama government which has been characterised by the twin evils of incompetence and mismanagement and unbridled corruption in every facet of the government’s operations.
Dr. Bawumia made these comments on the first day of his Central Regional Tour in Nyanyano Kakraba in the Gomoa East Constituency on Monday.
“There is a lot of hardships in the country today. In Nyanyano Kakraba, water is a problem, paying for electricity is a problem, paying school fees has become a problem, there are no jobs and this is why there is the need for change. Ghana’s economy has now been totally run to the ground and that is what is causing these hardships.
“But the problem is not a lack of resources, this is a land of resources but the real problem is that those who have been entrusted with the responsibility of managing our resources, mismanage and steal them, and this situation cannot continue any longer”, he said.
Touching on some of the policies of the NPP, Dr.Bawumia mentioned that to ensure that development reaches all parts of the country and to ensure that the basic issues affecting persons, especially in the rural areas are tackled, the NPP will allocate 20% of the Capital Expenditure budget to the 275 constituencies every year, purposely for development at the local level.
“The one constituency, one million dollars every year policy will ensure that, unlike the current situation, our capital expenditure budget reaches all parts of Ghana especially our towns and villages and that the constituencies are directly given significant resources to tackle their developmental problems.
So from 2017, Gomoa East Constituency will have an equivalent of $1million and this will come every year so that no one will sit in Accra and send these monies to Burkina Faso or Dubai and deprive you of the benefits that can be gained from such an amount.”
Referring to a promise that had been made early on by the Parliamentary Candidate for the area, KojoAsemanyi to tackle the water challenges facing the constituency, Dr.Bawumia noted that the promise can be easily fulfilled because with $1million dollars every year, the constituency can solve such basic challenges and give the people of the area a more comfortable life.
NPP Manifesto will be all about Jobs
Dr.Bawumia hinted while speaking atNyanyanoKakraba that the soon-to-be launched NPP Manifesto will primarily be about the NPP’s vision and programme for job creation, especially for the millions of youth, who are jobless today as a result of the inability of the government to create the environment for business and economic growth.
He outlined a number of policy initiatives including redirecting focus from taxation to production to create jobs and wealth for the larger Ghanaian populace.
“Our soon-to-be launched Manifesto will be about jobs. Today our youth cannot find jobs, this will change under the NPP. We will introduce policies that will make it easy for businesses to operate, make profit, grow and employ. We will deal with the high import taxes to make it easy for companies to bring in raw materials and equipment for production and we will reduce the high tax burden on companies and traders”, he indicated.

DR WISDOM. Dr, Bawumia will say mismanagement everyday because the country is being mismanaged on a daily basis
Two containers of money got lost when Dr M Bawumia was in charge of the currency re-domination some years back. Your government has been in power for over seven years but you've allowed him to walk freely in this country. Are u and your government serious?. I am not surprise this country is in such a mess under your government.
IF BAWUMIA IS SAYING HE AND HIS NPP ARE NOT NOT CORRUPT,HE SHOULD TELL GHANAIANS WHERE THE TWO CONTAINERS OF MONEY THAT GOT LOST DURING THE RE-DENOMINATION OF OUR CURRENCY IS. HE WAS INCHARGE OF THE EXERCISE AT BANK OF GHANA AND HE SHOULD EXPLAIN.
What's killing your NPP? You and Nana Addo could not manage your small party funds and bring together your executives and you think you are a good manager? Charity begins......
Bawumia is brilliant. the only people criticizing are these ndc retards. god save your pathetic souls.
You and your p1g Koku Anihodu are sick in the head. Tell your EC boss to first authenticate the 76,000 names first, then Bawumia will give you more. If the EC refused to to investigate the first list provided, why on earth will an intelligent man like Bawumia waste his precious time to give more names? This constant talk of producing the 90 percent shows how dumb all Ndc's think. Very low level thinkers with next to no brain. Commit for there.
FOR GHANAIANS TO BELIEVE YOU PRODUCE THE 90% OF FOREIGNERS ON OUR REGISTER.DOCTORS DO NOT LIE PLEASE
Ndc Yaa mutu. Ndc will lose this election basaaaa. Big gap. We are suffering too much. Nobody is happy in Ghana today except for people at flagstaff house.
Dr Bean, Where's the Togolese / ECOWAS REGISTER? How much did it cost Ghanaians the RE-DENOMINATION under your hand?
