The Traffitec-GH System Was Introduced by Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia – Kate Kyeremaa

According to an Official Facebook Post by Kojo Aname Sonkondo on 6 November 2026, a member of the NPP Communications Team, Kate Kyeremaa, has disclosed that the Traffitec-GH system, which has been implemented to monitor speeding and improve road safety in Ghana, was introduced under the leadership of former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

According to Kate Kyeremaa, the introduction of the Traffitec-GH system is one of the outcomes of Dr. Bawumia’s digitalisation agenda, which she says played a significant role in transforming Ghana’s technological and administrative systems.

She explained that the CCTV cameras installed across various parts of the country were also among the achievements of the previous NPP administration. These cameras, she indicated, form part of the technological infrastructure designed to support surveillance, monitoring and law enforcement.

Kate Kyeremaa further highlighted the connection between the Ghana Card and the Traffitec-GH system. She explained that the integration allows authorities to identify motorists who commit traffic offences, making it possible to link violations to the identities of offenders.

She also attributed the introduction of the Ghana Card to Dr. Bawumia’s leadership, emphasising the role of digital identification in strengthening public administration and service delivery.

On the electronic payment system used for settling traffic fines, Kate Kyeremaa maintained that it was another product of the digitalisation initiatives introduced during Dr. Bawumia’s tenure as Vice President.

Her comments have brought renewed attention to the role of digitalisation in Ghana’s road traffic management system and the broader technological initiatives implemented under successive governments.

The Traffitec-GH system represents an intersection of digital identification, traffic surveillance and electronic payment, with the broader objective of improving compliance with road traffic regulations.

However, her attribution of these initiatives to the former Vice President also raises an important public policy question about the development and implementation of major digital infrastructure projects in Ghana: how should the contributions of different administrations, institutions and technical partners be recognised?
