Dr Mahamadu Bawumia is a problem-solver and visionary - Kwabena Frimpong

The Deputy Protocol Director of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Kwabena Frimpong, has stated that Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia is the problem solver and visionary leader Ghana needs as President because he possesses unique leadership qualities.

Dr. Bawumia is a generational thinker with innovative ideas that have addressed many of the country's challenges both digitally and physically.

Mr. Frimpong said, "Dr. Bawumia has demonstrated his problem-solving capabilities through impactful policies. For instance, he identified that many districts and constituencies lacked ambulances for transporting sick or emergency patients to hospitals.

He ensured that every constituency now has ambulance services, which has increased the number of emergency nurses trained and working with the Ambulance Services. Additionally, the Drone Essentials Medical Delivery is another top-notch policy that, together with the Ambulance Services, has saved many lives across the country. The 'Gold for Oil' policy also significantly reduced fuel prices in Ghana."

"Furthermore, due to Dr. Bawumia's visionary leadership, the introduction of Mobile Money Interoperability has made Western Union obsolete, allowing seamless mobile money transfers across different networks and from banks to mobile money accounts."

Mr. Frimpong outlined several policies and projects championed by Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia that have successfully addressed various challenges, including the Digital National Identity System, National Property Address System, digitalization of public services (such as Tema Port, ECG, Passport Office, DVLA, among others), and the distribution of over 300 ambulances to all constituencies.

"Although Dr. Bawumia has never served as President before, his signature projects demonstrate his leadership in solving generational problems for sustainable development."

Comparing Dr. Bawumia to John Mahama, Mr. Frimpong claimed that Bawumia is more suitable for the presidency due to his track record, competence, and vision.

"Unlike John Mahama, who told Ghanaian youth that he is not a magician to create jobs for them, and couldn't solve 'Dumsor' because Ghanaians own many phones, if striking doctors don't return to work, he's going to Cuba to bring in replacements, and he developed a 'dead goat syndrome' so Ghanaians can complain, Dr. Bawumia has found solutions to problems, which sets him apart."

Mr. Frimpong noted that former President Mahama couldn't find solutions to the problems that plagued his administration, including youth unemployment, corruption, arrogance, abuse of power, and the four-year 'Dumsor' (power outages).

He concluded that economically, the data shows that during this 4th Republic, Mahama's tenure was the weakest in Ghana's history.
