Under My Gov’t, You Can Buy Smartphones On Credit And Pay ₵1 Every Month – Bawumia Pledges

Presidential candidate and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has announced a visionary plan to make smartphones more accessible to Ghanaians if elected president. Speaking at a campaign event, Dr. Bawumia revealed his strategy to collaborate with phone manufacturers to provide smartphones on a credit basis, allowing citizens to pay as little as one or two cedis per month.

“We will make mobile phones accessible. My government will partner with phone manufacturers so that Ghanaians can afford them on credit and pay 1 or 2 cedis every month,” Dr. Bawumia declared. He emphasized that this initiative is a crucial part of his administration’s agenda to enhance digital inclusion.

Dr. Bawumia outlined the significant impact this initiative would have on access to information and communication technology, aiming to bridge the digital divide and empower more Ghanaians to participate in the digital economy. He stressed that access to smartphones is essential for modern living, providing opportunities for education, business, and social connection. Currently, many Ghanaians are unable to afford smartphones due to high costs, a barrier Dr. Bawumia aims to eliminate with this innovative scheme.

“Access to smartphones is no longer a luxury but a necessity. It opens up opportunities for education, business, and staying connected with loved ones. By making smartphones affordable, we are not only enhancing connectivity but also fostering an environment where every Ghanaian can thrive in the digital age,” Dr. Bawumia added.

Dr. Bawumia is currently campaigning in the Savannah Region and plans to visit Bole, the hometown of his main contender, former President and now flagbearer of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama. The initiative is part of a broader strategy to improve the technological landscape and foster economic growth in Ghana.
