"Corruption stalls our development, and I am very committed to fighting it. I have demonstrated my commitment to fighting corruption over the years," Dr. Bawumia said. "To fight corruption effectively, I believe we have to put in place systems that fight corruption. It is the way to go."

Dr. Bawumia highlighted examples of how implemented systems have helped expose identity fraud and public payroll fraud, resulting in significant savings for government agencies. He also announced plans to utilize blockchain technology across government transactions to prevent corrupt practices.

" Above all these, there should also be the political will to prosecute those who engage in acts of corruption, regardless of which party they belong to," he added.

Dr. Bawumia's commitment to combating corruption through robust systems and political will resonates with the TUC's mission to promote good governance and transparency.
