President John Dramani Mahama has given an upbeat assessment of his government’s performance, saying, strong foundation had been laid to anchor the growth of the economy.
He indicated that a lot had been achieved in the first four years under his watch and that the people were going to see tremendous improvement in their living conditions, if returned to power in the general coming election.
President Mahama was addressing a political rally in Asamankese as part of his six-day election campaign tour of the Eastern Region.
He gave the assurance that his second four-year term office would focus on livelihood empowerment of the population.
He also repeated his promise to revive many of the collapsed factories built by Ghana’s first President, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, to create more job openings.
Already two of such factories – Komenda Sugar and Kumasi Shoe factories had been reactivated.
President Mahama spoke of plans to expand the Tema Harbor and transform it into the biggest sea port in the West African sub-region, adding that, an agreement to that effect would soon be signed by the government.
He told the voters that the future could only be bright and rallied them to vote massively to renew the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) mandate, come December 7.

Mr. President, your Party, NDC was given GDP Growth of 8.9% in 2009. You have MISMANAGED the Economy from that time to now. The GDP Growth now is 3.3%. How can you CREATE JOBS in 2017. Even 2015 and 2015 you could NOT create jobs. How much more in 2017. Ghanaians are suffering from High Electricity Bills, High Water Bills, Rampant Increases in Fuel Prices, High Transport Fares, High School Fees, Collapse of School Feeding Programme, HNIS, Cancellation of Teachers Training Allowances, Nurses Training Allowances. As for your infrastructure, an Artisan at Abosey Okai can do the same if not more than that when Given the opportunity and the funds to Govern. Suffering Ghanaians want CHANGE. WE CANNOT CONTINUE IN 2017 ONWARDS
JDM please stop this. Small money that I stole, you have not been able to collect it. How can you say you want second term. Please come home and let's eat agbelikaaklo.
Mahama's performance is poor... You inherited a better economy from Prof. Mills who you killed..... We now have high interest rate, high inflation, high unemployment, high c0rruption, high suicide rate, bad exchange rate, help me name the rest...
