Bernard Allotey Jacobs has expressed utter satisfaction with Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's vision for Ghana if elected into power.

The Vice President and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, on Wednesday, February 7, at an event at UPSA outlined his policies saying he will abolish the Electronic Levy (E-Levy) and other taxes, improve the mining sector by giving certain incentives to encourage legal mining and boost the sector, make National Service optional, streamline the passport office to make passports easily accessible, introduce digital initiatives to revamp the tourism sector among others.

Analyzing the Veep's vision policy during "Kokrokoo" panel discussion programme on Peace FM, Allotey Jacobs held a strong view that these policies will resolve the unemployment situation in Ghana.

Dwelling on Dr. Bawumia's mining policy, Allotey Jacobs said the Vice President's promise to ensure "business without any VAT payment and regarding the equipment, processing of the minerals, creating larger jobs, reclamation of used mining lands, involvement of communities as well as setting up various mineral communities within the districts" is "a game changer and it can employ thousands of thousands of thousands of Ghanaians from the high-class in society or the academia right down even to uneducated person in that industry".

To the former NDC Central Regional Chairman, this vision "is the key to our economic prosperity".

"We should christen Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's vision that he presented at UPSA as Bawumialogy...Ghana, the progress, the success as a country lies within the 70-point vision of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia", he added.
