The 2024 presidential candidate of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mahamudu Bawumia has said Ghana will soon get a regular update of its population due to the foundations being laid in terms of digitalisation.
Bawumia believes it will soon be unnecessary to conduct census every ten years by sending enumerators out on the field across the country.
Addressing the Clergy in Accra on Tuesday (4 June) as part of his campaign tour of the Greater Accra Region, Bawumia said the government’s quest to digitalise the economy is gradually paying off.
“Very soon and I mean, maybe within the next few years, our census will be almost digital because we will know how many people have died from birth and death, we know how many people are born.”
“It will not be necessary to physically go and count anybody, because the data will be available, on a daily basis about the population at any point in time… ” Bawumia said.
