While listing the physical infrastructure, the vice-president pointed out that soft infrastructure in the form of digitisation is essential in many instances more than physical infrastructure.

Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has been called ‘Mr. Digital’ for his self-confessed interest in promoting a digital-based economy.

He said the government has embarked on projects by spending less in ensuring value for money hence a high expenditure on infrastructure will result in many infrastructure projects.

According to him, no government has achieved this in their first term as compared to the current Akufo-Addo administration.
