“Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential candidate, has pledged to reduce government expenditure by at least GH¢30 billion if elected president.
During an interaction with religious leaders in the Northern Region, Dr. Bawumia stated his intention to downsize government spending to alleviate the increasing cost of governance.
He aims to achieve this by reducing the size of government by three percent of GDP, equivalent to GH¢30 billion over four years, and limiting the number of ministers to 50.
Dr. Bawumia also committed to protecting the public purse and ensuring efficient allocation of funds for impactful projects.
As part of his nationwide campaign tour, Dr. Bawumia is engaging with various stakeholders, including traditional leaders, clergy, youth groups, and businesses, focusing on issue-based electioneering and practical solutions for the country’s challenges.”
