    The NDC’s leader, John Dramini Mahama, has reacted to Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s assertions that the 24-hour economy is already in place.

    John Mahama claims that some businesses that are open around-the-clock do not revoke a policy that offers incentives to those who choose to enroll.

    According to Mr. Mahama, this policy will deal with the urgent problem of young Ghanaians traveling dangerously across the Mediterranean and Sahara in search of better opportunities in Europe.

    However, detractors such as Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia argue that the policy is unclear and that Mr. Mahama is misleading Ghanaians about it.

    In response, the former president addressed the matter in an interaction with St. Joseph’s College of Education students in Bechem as the ‘Building Ghana Tour’ got underway in the Ahafo Region.

    He stated that interested institutions can voluntarily join the initiative.

    “It is not by force. When we come, we’ll open it. The initiative is available, any company that wants to work a shift system and work more than the eight hours that they normally work from eight o’clock to five o’clock, they will sign on. We will give them tax incentives because if you work the extra shift, you will be given tax breaks. Aside from that, you’ll be provided with security and everything that you need to be able to employ more people,” he said.

    The former president assures that a group of specialists is working to complete the policy document in the interim.

    Relatedly, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has taken a swipe at Mahama for claiming he has solutions to the current economic crisis in the country.

    Speaking to a throng of people in Tamale on Monday as part of his northern tour, Dr. Bawumia reminded the people how Mahama turned deaf ears to Ghanaians when they complained about the hardships in the country during his tenure as president.

    According to him, John Mahama fired back at his critics and jabbed them that he’s a dead goat who has no feelings.
