President John Dramani Mahama revealed a significant victory in the fight against illicit economic activities in Ghana.
During a media engagement, he announced that his government, in collaboration with the country’s security agencies, has confiscated and destroyed more than 300 illegal “changing machines” across the nation.
President Mahama explained that this bold operation is part of a broader crackdown on activities that threaten Ghana’s financial stability and deplete state resources. “Such illegal operations cannot be allowed to flourish at the expense of national development,” he declared, emphasizing the government’s resolve to protect the country’s economic interests.
He further noted that security agencies have been empowered to intensify enforcement measures, ensuring that perpetrators of illicit acts are brought to book and similar schemes are swiftly dismantled.
In addition to the crackdown, President Mahama highlighted other government initiatives aimed at bolstering the economy and advancing national development. He disclosed that ₵14 billion of oil revenue has been allocated to the ambitious “Big Push” infrastructure agenda, which seeks to transform Ghana’s physical landscape and create jobs. Furthermore, ₵1 billion has been set aside to retool security agencies, enabling them to deliver more effective and responsive services.
These interventions, the President affirmed, reflect his administration’s unwavering commitment to economic growth, national security, and the well-being of all Ghanaians.
