Statement:

Diaspora4DMB, a network of Ghanaians in the diaspora committed to supporting Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, wishes to extend our heartfelt congratulations to the Vice President for the successful launch of the CitizenApp. This innovative platform is a significant leap forward in the digitization of public services and the enhancement of citizen engagement in Ghana.

As an advocacy group for Dr. Bawumia’s policies, we are particularly proud of this achievement, which aligns with his broader vision of modernizing Ghana’s governance through technology. The CitizenApp simplifies the way Ghanaians interact with government institutions by providing a user-friendly, digital platform where citizens can access government services, submit reports, and track issues of concern from their mobile devices. This app serves as a bridge between the government and the people, fostering greater transparency and accountability.

In recent years, Dr. Bawumia has been at the forefront of Ghana’s digital transformation efforts, leading initiatives such as the digital address system, mobile money interoperability, and the e-passport system. The CitizenApp adds to this impressive portfolio, showing a continued commitment to making government more accessible, efficient, and responsive to the needs of its citizens.

Empowering Citizens through Technology

At Diaspora4DMB, we recognize the transformative power of technology in governance and are confident that the CitizenApp will have a profound impact on public service delivery. By allowing citizens to easily access government services, track requests, and report issues such as infrastructure problems, corruption, and other concerns, the app empowers individuals to actively participate in the governance process.

This level of access and engagement is essential in building trust between the government and the people, especially in today’s fast-paced, digitally-driven world. We commend Dr. Bawumia for his visionary leadership in this regard, and we believe the CitizenApp will promote a more open and responsive government.

Call for Wide Adoption and Public Education

While the CitizenApp holds great potential, Diaspora4DMB also acknowledges that its success will depend on widespread adoption and effective use by all Ghanaians. We call on government agencies, private sector partners, and civil society organizations to support the public education efforts around the app, particularly in rural communities where access to technology may be limited.

To ensure inclusivity, we encourage the government to provide the necessary resources and training to bridge the digital divide, ensuring that no Ghanaian is left behind. Diaspora4DMB pledges its support in promoting awareness and adoption of the app within the diaspora community and beyond.

A Forward-Thinking Vision for Ghana’s Future

Diaspora4DMB fully supports Dr. Bawumia’s ongoing efforts to digitize Ghana’s economy and governance systems. The launch of the CitizenApp is yet another testament to his dedication to creating a modern, efficient, and accountable government that serves the people.

We urge all Ghanaians, both at home and abroad, to embrace this tool as a means of improving government services and strengthening democratic participation. This initiative underscores Dr. Bawumia’s role as a champion of innovation, and we believe it sets a strong foundation for Ghana’s future.

Signed

Peter Obiri Yeboah.
