A political sparring match erupted over Ghana's proposed 24-hour economy policy. Richard Ahiagbah from the opposition New Patriotic Party blasted the government's economic strategy as nothing more than a vote-grabbing scheme. He urged leaders to abandon the costly plan and instead continue the party's One District One Factory initiative.
Presidential Advisor Goosie Tanoh revealed the policy would require approximately $4 billion with initial seed funding between $300 million and $400 million to attract private sector investment. Ahiagbah criticized media outlets for failing to thoroughly examine the policy's feasibility when initially proposed.
The NPP representative questioned the massive expenditure and challenged the government's approach. He argued the 24-hour economy represents an impractical promise dumped onto Tanoh to salvage its credibility. The policy launches officially on July 1 amid mounting criticism from political opponents.
