The National Democratic Congress (NDC) announced an ambitious plan to transform Ghana’s economy. The NDC’s Deputy Director of Special Duties, Brogya Genfi, revealed the party’s vision for a 24-hour economy aimed at creating job opportunities for the country’s youth. Apexnewsgh reports
The plan involved implementing a three-shift system in factories to allow more people to work and prosper. In addition to this, the NDC intended to recruit 25,000 young individuals into various security services such as the police, military, immigration, and fire services.
This initiative was designed to offer employment opportunities for those who sought to serve in the security sector. In a groundbreaking move, John Mahama, the flagbearer of the NDC, selected a woman as his running mate, setting the stage for Ghana’s first female Vice President.
To further support women’s empowerment, Mahama proposed the establishment of a Women-Based Development Bank. Furthermore, Mahama pledged to abolish the controversial E-Levy within four months of assuming office in 2025.
This levy, which taxed mobile money transactions, had drawn criticism for its impact on Ghanaians who relied on these services. Addressing the issue of unemployment, Mahama aimed to eliminate the betting levy and replace it with a more productive tax system to discourage young people from engaging in unproductive activities.
The NDC’s ultimate vision was to create a prosperous Ghana where everyone had access to opportunities. With seasoned leaders like Mahama, who had previously served as an assembly member and contributed to the 1992 Constitution, the party was poised to make a positive impact on Ghana’s future.
Meanwhile, the Katiu community campaign was spearheaded by the National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, along with other national party leadership.
