The 2024 Presidential Candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, said that his government will boost Ghana’s local economic growth with the “Buy Ghana First” policy.
To him, the policy will help improve domestic demand, uplift production, and generate employment opportunities for Ghanaians.
During his constituency tour to Abirem North Constituency in the Eastern Region, Dr. Bawumia disclosed that his leadership will implement the policy to support local economic growth.
He explained further that he will foster job creation, digital innovation, and the growth of high-tech businesses in Ghana.
Dr. Bawumia assured the constituents that the strategy will help public sector procurements with well-sourced products from local producers in the country.
Abiremhene and Gyaesehene of Akyem Kotoku Traditional Area, Obrempog Kwasi Amoh Kyeretwie, appealed to the government for school buses for the three secondary schools in the area.
‘‘We don’t have school buses in the area. We need school buses for students at Amoana Praso Senior High School, Akoase St. Michael’s Senior High School, and New Abirem-Afosu Senior High School,’’ Obrempog Kwasi Amoh said.
He urged Dr. Bawumia and his government to establish agricultural universities in Ghana to help enroll more students.
