Bawumia’s digitalisation agenda proven right, yielded tangible results – Franklin Cudjoe

Franklin Cudjoe, President of IMANI Africa, has acknowledged the success of former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s digitalisation agenda, stating that recent developments confirm the effectiveness of his vision.

According to Mr. Cudjoe, the government’s investment in digital infrastructure has significantly improved efficiency across various sectors, dispelling initial scepticism. He cited data from the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS), which linked the country’s higher economic growth in 2024 to digitalisation.

This, he noted, aligns with comments made by former Finance Minister Dr. Mohammed Amin at a press conference earlier this month. Based on the GSS data, Mr. Cudjoe agreed that Dr. Amin was right in attributing Ghana’s improved economic performance to Bawumia’s digitalisation initiatives.

Highlighting the impact of these reforms, he pointed to improvements in service delivery, financial inclusion, and governance. “Bawumia’s digitalisation drive has yielded tangible results, making processes easier for businesses and citizens alike,” he stated.

He acknowledged that while there were initial doubts about the feasibility of large-scale digital reforms, Ghana’s progress in digital transformation proves the country is on the right path.

However, Mr. Cudjoe also identified key areas that still need attention, including cybersecurity and better internet accessibility in rural areas. He urged the government to address these challenges to maximise the benefits of digitalisation and ensure inclusive technological advancement for all Ghanaians.
