Flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Dramani Mahama says his party’s ‘24 hour economy policy is one that is well thought out and data policy.
Mr Mahama and the NDC have been criticised for not explaining the policy well enough.
Speaking to the press in Accra on Sunday, July 7, Mahama stated that a 24- hour economy will increase the production and distribution of goods and services and accelerate the economic exchanges between people and companies.
With that policy,Mahama added that Ghana will start growing at an unprecedented pace while providing decent jobs for the youth.
“I have said that leadership is about vision, and I stand by it. But leadership is also about caring, about giving people genuine, solid hope. This is what a 24-hour economy really is about,”
“Let me explain. The 24-hour economy is a solid way to replace imports with homegrown production of goods and thus create a solid base for a vibrant Ghanaian industry. In many instances, we don’t import goods because they’re better than ours; we import them because nobody produces them here, in Ghana, in the first place or because the local production is insufficient”, he explained.
