Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party(NPP) has stated that his presidential campaign will focus on three thematic areas.
Dr Mahamudu Bawumia believes that his drive for digitization will help him achieve success in these three areas.
The Vice President spoke to New African Magazine when he made this known.
“There are different areas. Digitalisation and leveraging technology for inclusive economic growth would be one area. We want to make Ghana the digital hub of Africa. The world right now is looking at systems data, artificial intelligence and all of that. We can use that to improve agricultural productivity, to improve healthcare and to improve education. These are for me the three big areas,” he said.
He continued “For all the concerns about artificial intelligence and data it is very important that we get the best out of that for Africa. We need to go into predictive agriculture. Today in Ghana we have drones delivering medicines and vaccines. We are networking all the hospitals so that your records are centralised. We have launched Africa’s first national scale e-pharmacy so that when you have a prescription you can go online and find the nearest pharmacy to you. If you have artificial intelligence getting all this data, you can have solutions to diseases which, given our own DNA in Africa, may be quite different from other places. We need to get healthcare outcomes which are suitable for us, so we need to develop our own research.
Food security is another area I want to focus on. I want to introduce what I call a golden age of the maximisation of the benefits of our natural resources: gold, lithium, and domestic beneficiation. I introduced a new policy recently – gold for oil – in which we are leveraging the gold to pay for oil and not looking for scarce dollars that we don’t have. And there’s the energy transition, with a focus on renewables. And to unleash the private sector, including in infrastructure. The government can’t be doing everything. These are some of the areas I want to really touch on.

This is laughable. These NDC people are gullible. See how muerably they failed to appreciate the linkage between economy and digitalisation. Digitised economy is free from corruption. Payments outlets are human free and there is no pressure to pay or receive bribe. If Ghana can save billions of dollars in the midst of digitalisation we won't go cup in hand borrowing left and right.
Dr of economics now turn Dr of digitazation. Why is Bawumia no longer talks about economy? Dr Bamumia please start answering all the questions you wrote to the late Amissah Arthur. Just come to South Africa and tell us how can you make Ghana hub of digitisation in Africa, you are a joke. Common Ghana Card has expiry date, National Identity Card is not like passport to have expiry date for renewal please, re-visit your fundamentals

Bawumia is winning. Bawumia is getting his practical policies out there while as Mahama is just promising to review the current government policies. Interesting times ahead.
Ghana ba my question to you is " what is an economy" it shock me when i these ndc people says Dr Bawumia has left the economy and now pursuing digitalization, that in itself tells you how low they think
This cl0wn no longer talks about the economy and exchange and taxes again. He's now a software app developer. Odwan
