Seasoned journalist Kweku Baako has come to the defence of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for responding to the claims by former President John Dramani Mahama over the National Digital Property Addressing System (NDPAS) that he (Dr. Bawumia) has embarrassed President Akufo-Addo by introducing the project.
Ex-President Mahama, addressing party faithful at their Unity walk in the Central Region, rubbished the government’s project to digitize the economy – GhanaPost GPS – describing it as a “419 scam”.
“How can you launch a Google GPS system that is freely available on our mobile phone and say it is a national addressing system. It is such a pity. Why will you embarrass the president so much? You go and take a whole president to bring him to come and launch a system that is 419.
“When we talk about accountability, this is where the president should show that he is serious about corruption…The toughness of the fight against corruption is that you are able to take action against your own people and that is what we did when we were in office. Here the NPP seems unable to take, the president seems unable to take self-action in anything,” Mr. Mahama said.
Following the former President’s comments on the project, Vice President Dr. Bawumia released a statement demystifying issues to Mr. Mahama.
