Ghana's opposition party slammed the government's new 24-hour economy plan as fake news designed to fool voters. The Mahama team rolled out their big idea on July 2 and claimed it would create tons of jobs for regular people. Opposition leaders said the timing stinks because the government just raised electricity bills and added new taxes. Alexander Afenyo-Markin told other lawmakers that ordinary citizens will see no real benefits from this scheme. He believes the whole thing is just fancy talk to cover up the country's money problems.
Government advisor Goosie Tanoh fired back at the critics and defended the new policy as smart planning based on real science. He told reporters that his team welcomes all feedback and plans to make changes as needed. Tanoh called their approach a living program that can bend and shift when circumstances change. He promised that the policy will help transform Ghana's economy over many years. The advisor stressed that only flexible programs can truly help society grow stronger.
The 24-hour economy plan targets key business areas like hospitals, factories, food processing, shipping, and stores. Officials want these sectors running day and night to maximize how much money and jobs they can produce. They believe round-the-clock operations will help Ghana bounce back from current economic struggles. The program aims to use existing buildings and equipment more efficiently. Leaders hope this strategy will make the country more competitive globally.
