Development Policy Analyst Abdul Razak Chacha has urged Ghanaians to give the John Mahama-led administration its full four-year mandate, insisting that the impact of its policies and programmes will become evident by the end of its term.
Speaking during a panel discussion on Angel FM’s ‘Anopa Bofo’ on Wednesday, November 11, he said the NDC government did not promise to transform the country within 18 months, stressing that Ghanaians would witness the full benefits of its governance agenda over the four-year period.
“We, the NDC, didn’t promise 18 months but in four years you’ll see the fullness of this government,” he said.
Mr Chacha pointed to the ongoing Big Push road infrastructure project as evidence of the government’s commitment to development.
He maintained that the roads being constructed under the project were not funded with money from the Electronic Transaction Levy (E-Levy), insisting that no Ghanaian’s E-Levy contributions had been used for the road projects.
“We are constructing roads without e-levy money. We haven’t taken any citizen’s e-levy to construct roads in the country,” he stated.
Mr Chacha also criticised the previous administration led by former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, accusing him of failing to address the country’s road challenges.
“The former President Nana Addo was sleeping on the job. He couldn’t fix the roads,” he added
He described the government’s approach as an example of good governance, asking Ghanaians to have patience and watch out for them.
