Dr. Bawumia, speaking at a campaign event in the Savannah Region, pledged to work with phone manufacturers to provide smartphones on a credit basis, allowing citizens to pay as little as one or two cedis per month.
The promise received mixed reactions, including a sharp response from Bridget Otoo.
In a tweet on July 23, 2024, she highlighted the impracticality of the proposal, stating that it would take an excessively long time to pay off the phones at such rates.

“4500 cedis means it would take 37 years to finish paying. Does it make sense to him?” Otoo tweeted.
She further criticized the plan as disrespectful to voters, suggesting that it underestimates their intelligence.
“This is not even desperation but just disrespectful to think your voters are stupid,” she added.
