Standard bearer of the opposition Democratic National Congress, John Dramani Mahama has vowed to fix the ailing economy under the Akufo-Addo government if he gets the go-ahead on December 7.
Highlighting the policies and initiatives that the NDC will implement when it wins the 2020 general election, former President Mahama said that his second term will provide equal opportunity for all citizens regardless of age, gender, political or religious affiliations.
“Ghana’s economy doesn’t work for the people, it works for a few. We will fix the economy and make it work for all Ghanaians, ”he said.
Mahama also mocked President Nana Akufo-Addo and the ruling New Patriotic Party for vengefully shutting down local businesses.
This, he promised to restore and sustain by investing $ 10 billion in the framework of the ‘Big Push Agenda’, since local businesses are the cornerstone of national development.
He insisted that the NDC has the experience to reverse the current “dire economic situation” to bring relief to the suffering masses in Ghana.
Emphasizing previous NDC records, the former president said: “We have done all of this before. We ensure the most stable and prosperous period of economic management. We ensure the highest GDP growth rate in history. We ensure the longest sustained period of single digit inflation in economic management in Ghana’s history. “
Then he added that during his second term, prudent macroeconomic measures will be implemented, anchored in good management to save the nation.
“We will control the public debt. We will stabilize and strengthen the long-standing cedi, reduce inflation, ensure a low fiscal regime and restore inclusive growth, ”he promised.
