Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP's flagbearer, has reaffirmed his dedication to combating corruption, which he claims is a significant obstacle to the country's progress.
During his campaign tour of the Central Region, Dr. Bawumia met with the clergy in Cape Coast on Monday. He vowed to continue his commitment to fighting corruption, highlighting that his work as Vice President in the fight against corruption through digitalization is evidence of his commitment.
"Public sector corruption poses a serious threat to our progress, and we must never give up the fight against it. Dr. Bawumia stated, "I have been and will continue to be a devoted fighter against corruption."
Dr. Bawumia further mentioned that rather than just paying lip service to the issue, corruption may be combated by implementing effective preventative measures.
"Corruption can be fought effectively through systems and I have been behind building digital systems which are aimed at averting corruption."
"That's the way to go, building systems to tackle corruption and I am very committed to it."
"The ghost names that have been wiped off the public payroll is an example of how putting in place systems fight corruption."
In addition, Dr. Bawumia gave the clergy the assurance that, as President, he would be held more responsible for them since, as President, he would have to answer to the Ghanaian people for his stewardship and run for next election.
"As President, by the grace of God, I will also be more accountable to you because I will have the opportunity of seeking another term and I will come back to you and the Ghanaian people to account for my stewardship," he said.
"If I don't perform, you won't give me another opportunity so I will work hard and deliver on my pledges so that I can come back and account to you."
"As for somebody, there will be no accountability because he will go on a honeymoon and you won't see him again," Dr. Bawumia added, amidst laughter by the members of the clergy.
