President John Dramani Mahama has reiterated his commitment to establishing a lasting legacy of effective governance that will withstand future administrations. Addressing a gathering of clergy on May 23, Mahama emphasized the importance of long-term reforms that would set a new standard for governance in Ghana.
“With effective leadership, we can turn this economy around and create a better life for our people, and that is what I’m committed to,” Mahama said.
He stated that his government aims to restore the people’s confidence in democracy and turn around the economy through decisive and principled leadership.
“We want to make sure that by the time we finish these four years, we will set such a standard in government that whichever party or whichever people come into governance cannot reverse the gains that we have made in restoring our people’s confidence in our democracy,” he added.
President Mahama also responded to comments made by former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who challenged the NDC to identify a specific policy responsible for the recent appreciation of the Ghanaian cedi. Mahama attributed the cedi’s recovery to effective leadership rather than a single policy, dismissing the notion that one policy could be solely credited for the gains.
“If you are to ask the NDC to point out exactly what policy they have implemented that has resulted in the appreciation of the cedi… they cannot tell you one,” Bawumia said, attributing the cedi’s strength to legacy initiatives such as the NPP’s gold purchase programme.
He emphasized that his government’s focus is on building a better life for Ghanaians through sustainable economic policies and democratic principles.
