Please Don’t Leave; Mahama Begs Investors
Former President and 2024 flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has appealed to captains of industry and investors to exercise patience for a new dawn in the country amid the economic uncertainties.
According to him, a future NDC government would create a conducive environment for businesses to thrive.
His appeal comes as major businesses in the country including GAME, Glovo, Nivea, BIC Pen, Dark and Lovely have folded up.
Speaking at the 8th Ghana CEO Summit in Accra on May 27, he promised, “Together, we will expand your businesses to create more opportunities for our increasing youthful population. Together, we will recapture our pride of place as West Africa’s favourite destination for investment.”
He intends to do this by stabilizing the currency, abolishing some taxes, expanding tax net, leveraging on Artificial Intelligence (AI), cutting government expenditures and preventing waste and corruption.
Other policies he intends to take advantage of are digitalization, value addition to farm products and economic diversification.
