YouTuber Kwadwo Sheldon was at the meeting with the media event organised by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) president candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, as part of his campaign towards the 2024 December polls.
Sheldon questions Bawumia about digitalisation agenda
As a staunch NPP supporter and YouTuber, Kwadwo Sheldon asked Dr Bawumia questions pertaining to his field, which is the rising cost of data.
“I’m only the vice president, not the president”: Bawumia defends NPP’s unfulfilled promises
Grabbing the microphone at the event, the YouTuber asked the vice president about plans to curb the rising cost of data since he was championing a digitalised era during his tenure.
Sheldon raised a similar question that comedian SDK Dele raised at National Democratic Congress flagbearer John Dramani Mahama’s meeting with the media event on August 13, 2024, at the Bukom Boxing Arena. The YouTuber snubbed Bawumia’s contender.
Responding to Sheldon’s concerns about the high data cost, Dr Bawumia said that he had made the need for data price reduction clear in his manifesto.
The vice president mentioned Starlink’s beginning operations in the country, and he was hopeful that it would generate competitiveness in the telco industry, thereby reducing data prices.
Many Ghanaians in the comment section of the video were not impressed with Dr Bawumia’s response to Sheldon’s question about the rising cost of internet in the country.
Below are the opinions of Ghanaians to the video:
