In a bold challenge issued to Dr. Bawumia, the Vice President of Ghana, Isaac Adongo, Member of Parliament for the Bolgatanga Central Constituency, has demanded concrete evidence of track records in building digitalization infrastructure. Adongo’s remarks come amidst claims by the government that the economy has accelerated to the point where citizens are forced to resort to Yahoo and other online platforms for survival.
Adongo’s challenge raises crucial questions regarding the government’s commitment to digitalization and its ability to provide the necessary infrastructure to support such initiatives. As the Vice President, Dr. Bawumia has been at the forefront of promoting digitalization in Ghana, emphasizing its potential to drive economic growth and empower citizens. However, Adongo contends that these assertions are mere rhetoric without substantive evidence of infrastructure development.
Adongo argues that the government’s claims of economic progress resulting in citizens resorting to unconventional means of survival point to a failure in providing adequate opportunities and resources for digitalization. He questions the availability and accessibility of reliable internet connectivity, affordable devices, and necessary training to facilitate the transition to digital platforms.
Isaac Adongo concludes by urging Dr. Bawumia to present tangible evidence of the government’s track records in building digitalization infrastructure. As a Member of Parliament representing the Bolgatanga Central Constituency, he reiterates his commitment to holding the government accountable and ensuring that promises of digital transformation are met with concrete actions and results.
