The Member of Parliament for Ofoase Ayirebi, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has challenged members of the Mahama administration to explain their 24-hour economy policy, which they claim will be a game changer.
Speaking on the floor of Parliament on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, during the debate on the recent State of the Nation Address (SONA) presented by President Mahama, he pointed out that the government continuously describe the 24-hour initiative as a solution to boost Ghana’s economy, yet they have failed to provide a clear definition of the policy.
Oppong Nkrumah emphasized that, to this day, there is no single, unified definition for the 24-hour economy program, noting that everyone he speaks to offers a different interpretation of the same policy.
“Till date we don’t have a single definition for the 24-hour economy program, everybody you talk to has a different definition, ‘Program baako, definition bebree’, he said.
He called on the Majority caucus to move beyond propaganda and present concrete governance programs so that Parliament can support and help develop them.
“Spend time doing less propaganda and more time bringing in your governance programs so that Parliament can assist you to work on it,” he added.
