The 24 Hour Economy Proposed by Mahama; NPP's Headache

The much talk-about proposed policy initiative, the 24 hour economy is the order of the day, and it looks as if is a headache for the rulling New Patriotic party and governemnt. The rank and file of the party wakes up every blessed day to propagate about the policy. The Presidential Candidate and Flagbearer who happens to be the Second Gentleman, H.E Dr. Mahamoud Bawumia of this country has been in oppostion to this initiative. Ministers of State, Members of Parliament for the rulling NPP, Ambassadors, High Commissioners had also spoken in negation to the 24 hour Ecomomy. Scores of party executives and members of the rulling party and government had portrayed same with the fear of losing to the opposition National Democratic Congress, the NDC. With few of thier Members, particularly, Honourable Ekow Asafua admitting that if the NDC is able to communicate the policy well to Ghanaians they will purchase or buy into that idea. The 24 Hour Economy, if implemented, when the the NDC assumes power and takes the reigns of government will be the super social intervention ever implemented by any government in the history of Ghana, especially the 4th Republic Democratic dispensation. The NDC had introduced policy interventions projects like the GETFUND, establishment of Tertiary institutions, i e. universities ( UHAS Mines, Sustainable Development) Day Community Senior High Schools, numerous road networks and railways, Potable drinking water and hospitals, and topmost was the Progressively Free senior High School Education which served as the pilot project for the Free Senior High School. The 24 Hour Economy is a social intervention program that would allow institutions, public and private institutions, industries, commercial, transport, manufacturing, extraction industries and financial services and other sectors to operate within 24 hours. It incorporates 8 hour shifts 3 times a day. Presuming to be 24/7. It is going to incorporate sectors that provide sevices 24/7 such as the health sector and filling stations. However, It is going to be grounded on subscriptions, so companies that intends to operate within the 24 hour economy needs to suscribe to it in order to enjoy its benefits of tax exemptions , security, reduced tariffs, and safety measures that accompany it. Without much, the policy has become the talk of the day, and dear to the heart of the Flagbearer of the NDC, John Dramani Mahama who is the brain behind that proposed Social intervetion and safety net. The policy is intended to provide and secure job for the 30 million plus Ghanains to be gainfully employed, the young or youth and aged, male and female. Thanks to the Presidential Candidate and former President, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama and the entire leadership and membership for lauching the 24 hour economy, a job hub for the entire populace, and bringing to bear thier rich experience and expertice to reduce if not eliminate unemployment situations or conditions that bedevil the country and to improve the standard of living of Ghanaians.

AN OPEN LETTER TO KOKU ANYIDOHO

Good-day! Anyidoho, Koku I communicate to you to halt your open and bitter resentment towards the gentle and affable persona and former first gentleman of the land, John Dramani Mahama. You claim to be an ardent and proponent of social democracy and associate of tge left-wing reactionary socialist ideology. We admonished your selfless service to the office of the former President, the late H.E John Evans Atta Mills as the Director of Communications, and your subsequent election as the Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress. This could have prefrerably shaped you and made you the General Secretary of the NDC. You fought well in the contest between you and the National Chairman of the party. The previous elections would have forsaw your leadership as General Secretary. You remember when the NPP, through their surrogates arrested you and put in the CID cells. He was the one who came and granted you bail and walked with you as triumph victory over them; your pur...

Fights Over UGSRC Appointment By Political God-Fathers Unnecessary

The current fights in the UGSRC appointment are unwarranted and of no merit as p,olitical God-Fathers in TESCON tzurn to backbite one another and lobby for the positions for their young boys. It has been made known that an immediate past TESCON President and once SRC President are at loggerheads as to who gets what. The Vice president of the UGSRC is seen more often than the UGSRC President on Campus. Students argued that the Vice President deferred his course twice to become the SRC president and had been a resident student of Vandal and Viking. It is rather unfortunate that the SRC could not plead with management to tamper justice with mercy or rescind their decision on CommonWealth and Mensah Sarbah brouhaha with management. The President is a Medical student and does not have ample time to steer affairs and his college they believe is far distant from the center of administration. The major concern raised by students is how appointing students to serve on various committees has bee...

DISGRUNTLED UGSRC EC CHAIR APOLOGIZES FOR WRONGDOING

Source:Univers The embattled and stepped aside Chairperson of the UGSRC Electoral Commission has registered his unqualified apology to the office of the Dean of Students' Affairs and the other mambers of the University Community for his untenable behaviour towards the Dean and the entire populace of the university,following his leaked tape. His miscalculated and unguided correspondence to the Dean escalated tensions, amidsts his recent communication with UGSRC Presidential Aspirants on a possible pair between aspirants. The Whistle Blower had cited a letter of apology dated August 6th, 2024 to the office of the Dean of Students' Affairs, rending an unreserved apology to her and the general university community. The letter comes as refreshing moment to critics of the EC who had grilled him for his actions and inactions relating to the 2024 UGSRC Elections. The letter portrays that Mr.Ibn Ibrahim Mudasdir had shown remorse for walking over on the dean, and his admission ...

Enough Of The Funfairs

It has become noticeable that the Tsikata-Zanyoh-led  UGSRC is more of a funfair without recourse to their policies tabled during the run-up to the SRC Campaign the previous year.  We have, and continue to witness only seminars and entertainment programs setting aside cutting-edge programs and projects that would contribute to the development needs of students. Most importantly, breaking away from their policy focus and direction. The most bizarre and absurd is the secular and photages of the SRC President and his team popped up on various social media handles purported to have met with KNUST SRC Secretary and other executives to strengthen ties and consolidate support for mutual benefit, assuming a role that is coterminous with that of NUGS President. Unless the motive behind is that he intends to contest for NUGS Portfolio. This stunning gesture has caused euphoria, with some students anticipatingthe SRC President continuing his tour to UCC, Winneba, and UDS among others. Th...
