The flagbearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has declared that if elected as President in the upcoming December elections, Ghanaians can trust him to combat corruption.

He emphasized that he has never been implicated in any corruption scandal throughout his life and asserted that his personal integrity qualifies him to address and, if possible, eliminate corruption.

During a public address on Wednesday, February 7, at the University of Professional Studies, Accra, Dr. Bawumia committed to the digitalization of all state agencies as part of his strategy to curb corruption. He urged the public to consider him as the choice for someone with personal integrity, trustworthiness, and a dedication to fighting corruption.

Dr. Bawumia further reiterated his commitment to safeguarding the nation's natural resources for the collective welfare of all citizens. He emphasized his dedication to ensuring that Ghana's natural resources are utilized for the benefit of its people.

The current administration has faced criticism for perceived defense of officials accused of corruption, and the Office of the Special Prosecutor, established by the government, has been criticized for not meeting anticipated standards in its anti-corruption efforts.
