Parliament Speaker Alban Bagbin criticized how Ghana turns every issue into a political fight. He spoke to government officials who brought him documents about the new 24-Hour Economy Policy. Bagbin said citizens must stop dividing issues along party lines. He wants people to focus on programs that help the country grow. The Speaker believes Ghana needs unity rather than constant political arguments.
Bagbin asked Parliament to debate the economic policy before its July launch. He said public discussion would build trust and help future governments continue the program. The Speaker pointed to past policies that succeeded because lawmakers reviewed them first. He mentioned Vision 2020 and Free Senior High School as examples. Parliamentary involvement makes policies stronger and more accepted.
Presidential advisor Augustus Tanoh explained the policy details to Parliament leaders. He described three main areas that form the program's foundation. Production changes, supply improvements and worker training make up the core strategy. Eight smaller programs support these main goals. Tanoh said the plan aims to create jobs and boost private business.
Agriculture serves as the centerpiece of the economic transformation plan. Officials want to increase food production and reduce imports. Manufacturing expansion will create more local products for export markets. Cultural programs will promote tourism and connect with Ghanaians living abroad. The policy also targets government efficiency and worker attitudes.
President Mahama will announce the complete program on July 2. The 24-Hour Economy Policy represents a major campaign promise from the recent election. Bagbin emphasized that successful policies require national support beyond political parties.
