Former Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has reiterated that he didn’t enter into politics to serve his personal.
He says his desire has been to serve the interest of the masses to improve their lives.
The 2028 New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, speaking to delegates at his campaign tour of the Amenfi West constituency in the Western Region, highlighted his track record of efficiency and transparency, citing the Mobile Money Interoperability project as an example.
He recounted how he intervened in the execution of the initiative by saving the nation some cost.
“I entered politics to serve the people, not to enrich myself,” he said. “When we initiated the Mobile Money Interoperability project, the NDC had proposed a contract worth 1.2 billion dollars.
“We cancelled that deal and instead completed the entire project for just 4.5 million dollars — not even up to 5 million. This initiative has greatly benefited Ghanaians and created thousands of jobs.”
The former Vice President said he delights in seeing the average Ghanaian benefit from government policies.
“My greatest joy comes from seeing how these projects are transforming lives, not from personal gain. I am not in politics for money — I am here to make a difference in the lives of ordinary Ghanaians,” he added.
