FOUNDER and leader of Diaspora Progressive Movement based in USA, Dr. Lawrence Appiah has noted keenly that the 24-hour economy policy former President John Dramani Mahama proposed is creating lots of confusion in the minds of the ruling NPP.
According to Dr. Appiah, the NPP are doing everything possible to get Ghanaians to think that the NDC’s proposed 24-hour economy policy would also turn out to be a slogan just like all their flagship policies.
Leader Diaspora Progressive Movement ( DPM) cited saying the Free SHS, the 1D1F. 1 village 1 dam, 1 constituency, $ 1 million a year have all become slogans, none of them is working as the ruling NPP proposed, but end up creating more problems for Ghanaians.
In a write up sent to the Nationaltymes.com, Dr. Lawrence Appiah said the NPP are questioning the 24-hour economy policy, and it is all because of what President (Nana) Akufo-Addo has done to the country. When Nana Addo was falsely preaching Free SHS, Ghanaians didn’t question him because John Mahama (JM) had made Ghanaians to believe in politicians.
Former President John Dramani Mahama (JDM) was delivering on his promises and Ghanaians in 2016, thought Nana Addo would also deliver on what he was promising on the campaign trail. In other words, the actions of Nana Addo from 2017 to 2023, has put Ghanaians off. They don’t trust campaign messages anymore.
As part of the confusion, Vice President Dr. Mahamoudu Bawumia, said Ghana is already operating the 24-hour economy policy. Then on the same platform, he said John Mahama (JM) cannot implement a 24-hour policy. I mean, if Ghana is already implementing a policy, why say someone can’t do it?
Seriously, this 24-hour economy policy is causing a lot confusion in the minds of NPP. Dr. Bawumia told us he was against taxing E-Levy. Today, Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah, is telling us Dr. Bawumia was very instrumental in the passage of the E-Levy.
Hon. Minister of Communication, Madam Ursula Owusu Ekuful supported the E-Levy and told us the passage of the E-Levy could prevent Ghana from going to International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Last week the Women Organizer for the NPP, Madam Kate Gyamfua was on Peace FM, and told Ghanaians that the only people who were against the passage of the E-Levy, and IMF were Vice President Dr. Bawumia and Ursula Owusu. She said the main person behind the passage of the E-Levy and IMF was the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta.
In Kate’s attempt to rebrand Dr. Bawumia, now NPP flagbearer, she rather exposed him (Dr. Bawumia) as a weak leader. Kate confirmed what Ken Agyapong told us that the Finance Minister bullies the Vice President at every important economic meetings. “Dr. Bawumia is a weak leader and a liar you can’t trust”, Dr. Lawrence Appiah posited.
The write up indicated also that, the Upper East Regional Minister says that the 24-hour policy will make other men take over their wives whilst they are in their farms; Maurice Ampaw, an NPP lawyer, also said the 24-hour policy will prevent witches from flying in the night.
He called on the NPP to deal with the framework out there for now. “As the weeks go by, we will give the details bit-by-bit until the NPP cannot rename and rebrand the 24-HOUR ECONOMY POLICY. The 24-hour economy is DOABLE. It will not be a slogan. It is Ghana’s GAME CHANGER”, Dr. Appiah stressed.
Resolve today to vote for it for the 2424-hour Proposed Economy Policy by JM, because Aba no, Mahama afa, Dr. Lawrence Appiah added.
