The Tema Metropolitan Chief Executive, Yohane Amarh Ashitey, has applauded the promise by Vice President that his government will install 50,000 closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV) around the country to improve security.
Bawumia is in touch with the real issues on the ground and has therefore been thinking up real practical solutions to the country's problems. "Vice President Bawumia is far ahead of former President in terms of creative ideations, and this promise is the latest proof," Yohane Amarh Ashitey wrote on Friday, August 30, 2024.
John Mahama, whose promise of a 24-hour economy has been difficult for even his own party communicators to explain." pledged to install 50,000 CCTV cameras across major towns in Ghana to enhance security and combat crime while campaigning in the Dome-Kwabenya constituency of the Greater Accra Region.
According to him, a study by security agencies has shown that 50,000 CCTV cameras are needed to cover all roads in regional and district capitals of the country.
Bawumia's promise is informed by real statistics and data that security agencies have provided," the Tema MCE wrote.
Bawumia is interested in the real bread and butter issues that Ghanaians deal with on a daily basis. "Without security, no country can truly progress; everybody knows that, and so the question is not whether there are security challenges or not; the challenge is how to think up solutions that are practicable and fit for purposes, not throwing about fanciful words like 24-hour economy, which sound beautiful but really mean nothing," he said.
He called on all Ghanaians to take time and sift through the policies of the two leading candidates in the 2024 presidential race and "decide for yourself what is practical and what is not, and then vote accordingly." He said, "Dr.
Bawumia has won the presidential election in advance because of the good works of the NPP government.
Mr.
John Mahama should come and look at the massive support of the NPP at "Kpeledzoo tsoshishi" in Tema Manhean.
The NDC should come and look at how the NPP is attractive to the good people of Tema."
