MP for Joseph Cudjoe Effia Constituency and NPP flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia
The Member of Parliament for Effia Constituency, Joseph Cudjoe, has outlined key reasons he believes Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia should garner support in Ghana's upcoming 2024 presidential election for the country's development to soar.
He argued that Dr. Bawumia is championing a vigorous campaign for Ghana to fully embrace digitalization across all sectors adding that this initiative is pivotal as it aims to drastically reduce opportunities for corruption.
"Those opposed to political corruption will support Bawumia, while those who benefit from corruption will oppose him," the lawmaker emphasized in a write up.
The digitalization drive, Cudjoe argues, will minimize face-to-face interactions, thereby eliminating avenues for unethical exchanges and favoritism based on social status or connections.
"Under this system, every citizen will be treated fairly and based on merit," he mentioned.
Additionally, Joseph Cudjoe assured that under a Bawumia administration, the Free Senior High School program will continue.
“This program not only aims to educate more Ghanaians but also to equip them with skills essential for the digital era.
"Education is crucial because it enables people to be adaptable and learn new technologies, which is key to national progress," the MP explained.
Joseph Cudjoe stressed the importance of investing in human capital, citing it as a fundamental strategy for development.
He noted, "Developed nations focus on developing their human resources alongside natural resources, and Ghana should do the same."
This vision, according to Cudjoe, forms the backbone of why he supports Dr. Bawumia's candidacy for president in the upcoming December elections and believes it holds the promise of a brighter future for Ghana.

Biggest NPP/Nana Addo/Bawumia Legacies for Ghana
The biggest foundations the we are laying for Ghana for its future economic development and advancement are the following:
1. Educated Population (Free Senior High School): When everybody can read and write, you have a population that is trainable in modern skills and technology. This is the first secret of developed countries. They won't tell you. They will tell you to focus on natural resources whilst they focus on Human Resources.
2. Unique Identification of People (Ghana Card - popularly called the Bawumia Card): Every developed country knows its citizens and foreigners uniquely. I wonder why this eluded us for years. I save this for another day to highlight its importance. A Digitalization Agenda.
3. Unique Property Identification by geo-location and address: Come to the blue kiosk and the koko seller at the junction for directing people is gone. Once you fully achieve an educated population, this way of giving direction is gone forever. A Digitalization Agenda.
4. Phone contact numbers pinned to persons directly with their fingerprints on record: People may have noticed how parked robberies may have gone down. Just like the developed countries, your phone calls and fingerprints linked to your phone number will betray you. A Digitalization Agenda.
5. Tax Identification Numbers for Businesses and Individuals linked to Ghana Card: People will underrate this big achievement until the FLAT TAX SYSTEM Bawumia has proposed is fully implemented. A Digitalization Agenda.
6. Bank Accounts and Financial Transactions linked to Ghana Card: People don't know what is coming when it comes to SOLVING FINANCIAL CORRUPTION by being able to TRACK all financial transaction flows just because we have linked the transactions to our Ghana Cards. A Digitalization Agenda. For me, this is the biggest of the BOLD SOLUTIONS, after Free SHS.
7. Government Performance Tracker: In the past, "ghost projects" have been used to chop our taxes. This problem is eliminated. A Digitalization Agenda.
8. To Be Continued...
People don't have an idea what Bawumia is seeking to achieve for Ghana with his Digitalization Agenda. We just say Digitalization Digitalization without understanding it deeply. With his Digitalization Agenda fully rolled out, we will all soon realize that PEOPLE WHO HATE POLITICAL CORRUPTION WILL LOVE BAWUMIA, AND PEOPLE WHO LOVE POLITICAL CORRUPTION WILL HATE BAWUMIA.
Mark this somewhere. It shall come to pass.
