Doubt over Ghana’s Digital Future as Bawumia’s Phantom e-Gate Project rakes in $19.2M Double Payment!
The World Bank’s potential role in this fiscal fiasco has thrown a shadow of doubt over Ghana’s digital future.
Startling revelations have emerged, exposing Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia’s grand promises of an e-Gate project at Kotoka International Airport as a sham.
IMANI Africa’s Bryan Simons dropped a bombshell, revealing that the World Bank has forked out a staggering $19.2 million for a project that simply does not exist.
Despite World Bank records indicating a completed e-Gate project transferred from terminal 2 to terminal 3 at Kotoka International Airport, this futuristic setup remains a mere figment of Bawumia’s imagination.
The audacity of potentially squandering World Bank funds on this mirage has provoked outrage from Mr. Simons. Dr. Bawumia, known for his digitalization rhetoric, boldly pledged the implementation of e-Gates by year-end, only to have his claims dismantled by Mr. Simons’ scathing expose.
With Twitter ablaze, Simons labeled any attempt to utilize Ghanaian funds for this illusory project as a blatant misuse of international resources.
Unveiling a tangled web of unfulfilled promises and misappropriated funds, Simons’ accusations raise serious doubts about the legitimacy of Bawumia’s e-Gate vision.
