Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga praised President Mahama for starting the Kwahu Business Forum. He said it helps people see the business spirit of locals and brings entrepreneurs together from all parts of Ghana. The forum took place at the Mpraeso Social Centre in the Eastern Region.
The NDC won the 2024 election because people liked its 24-hour economy plan. This plan supports businesses that create jobs for young people. Parliament will help ensure ministers keep their promises about growing businesses. They passed a budget with money to help make these promises happen. They want to watch how the government uses this money.
President Mahama told officials to send most of the common fund straight to local areas. This money pays local...
Alexander Afenyo-Markin wants Ghana to focus on skills rather than political parties when creating chances for young people. The Minority Leader talked about this at the Kwahu Business Forum on April 19. He worries that youth programs have become all about politics. He believes talent, creativity, and hard work should matter more than which party someone supports.
Building the country based on political favorites can stop new ideas from growing. Fair chances for everyone help the nation grow stronger. The Minority Leader said Ghana must make progress through competition based on who deserves opportunities. People should have equal chances, no matter which political group they belong to. This approach creates better results for...

The MP gave out over 30 hairdryers, sewing machines, and other tools to help local women start or grow their businesses. The MP said his visit meant a lot both for the community and the country.

Ketu North MP Eric Edem Agbana worries about fights over chieftaincy positions and land in his area. These problems stop growth and make life harder for everyone living there. He asked local chiefs to work together during a meeting where people confirmed Rev Martin Amenaki as the new Municipal Chief Executive. The MP explained that community conflicts make it hard for officials to start new projects without being accused of taking sides.
Leaders cannot build roads, schools, or bring water when communities remain divided. Agbana promised to help create more jobs and improve the economy, but needs traditional leaders to solve their disagreements first. He believes the United Chiefs can guarantee better development throughout Ketu North...
President Mahama says finding honest workers hurts businesses more than money problems. He talked about this at the Kwahu Business Forum on April 19. He once bought a bus for his family member to run a transport company. The driver changed the bus design, which caused many breakdowns. Mahama finally sold the bus because repairs cost him more than just sending money directly.
The driver lived in a family house but started building his house with bus earnings. The construction stopped when Mahama sold the broken bus. The building remains unfinished ten years later. Many business owners face similar issues when staff use their jobs as stepping stones. Some Ghanaian companies hire foreign managers because they cannot find trustworthy local...
