If there is anyone who doesn't understand the 24 hour economy,it's Dr Mahamudu Bawumia whose leadership has based on lies ,comic jokes and peddled falsehood.
All indicators under Bawumia as Head of the Economic Management Team exposes how shambolic his leadership and government has being
Abismal performance of the cedi to the dollar (12 cedis to $1) excessive borrowing but nothing to account for ,our public debt now is hovering around 800b cedis inflation in this country now is unprecedentedly over 40%.
The ordinary Ghanain faces the effects of this bad performance on daily basis.
Bawumia has proven to Ghanaians that he has been incompetent as a vice and cannot hold the office of a president, he lacks credibility and cannot be trusted.
Ghanaians cannot do a try and error this time around. Ghanaians need an expert, an experienced candidate and that is the visionary John Dramani Mahama. Ghanaians have now come to differentiate greatly between Bawumia and the visionary nation builder JDM.
WHAT IS JDM's 24 HOUR ECONOMY ABOUT
Practical examples of how the 24-hour economy will be operationalized to enhance productivity and job creation include:
i) 24-hour operation of manufacturing companies and other factories with participating companies benefiting from security patrols and tax breaks.
ii) Major construction projects to operate a 24-hour multiple shift system with participating companies benefiting from security patrols and tax incentives.
iii) Retail Trading Centers including supermarkets, pharmacies, restaurants, fuel stations and convenience stores who join the program will benefit from security patrols and tax incentives.
IV) Public institutions with huge work load and customer traffic will operate night shifts to enhance productivity and enable citizens have better services.
V) 24-hour Port Services This will ensure round the clock clearance of goods. The clearance and transportation of goods from the port in the night to various destinations will lessen traffic at the port, on the motorway, and on our highways. This will also enhance efficiency and productivity and create more employment opportunities.
VI) 24-hour operation of the Accra Digital Centre and IT industry:
Under President John Mahama, the Accra Digital Centre was set up to employ 10,000 Ghanaians in digital (ICT) and related jobs.
The Accra Digital Center has uniquely positioned Ghana to act as the BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) and KPO (Knowledge Process Outsourcing) capital of West Africa.
Under the 24-hour economy, the center will service different geographical time zones and employ over 10,000 youth.
Additionally, the already announced US$3 billion private sector led investment in ICT by John Mahama would leverage 5G technology and open new and innovative job openings in data analytics, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, e-governance, and data protection.
