The Inquirer Intel
The electoral victory secured by President John Dramani Mahama is enough to enable him enact relevant, radical and revolutionary policies that spur national development and redemption of the wobbly Ghanaian economy.
That is a fact admitted by both civil society and leading members of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Evidently, politicians, civil society, opinion leaders, academia and accomplished citizens across the spectrum in Ghana have come to admit that there needs to be radical structural transformation in managing the national economy.
This was the message gleaned by The Inquirer during careful monitoring of current affair broadcast programmes aired by sleek JoyNews File, Peace FM’s ‘Kokrokooo’ and Asempa FM’s ‘Eko Se S3n’ under distinguished anchors.
Significantly, The Inquirer’s source indicate that that goodwill has extended into another horizon, following the President’s gesture in submitting himself further to the goodwill of Ghanaians through a flying of a National Economic Conference intended to move Ghana away from the superstructure of a typical West African economy that cannot tick.
National goodwill demands national engagement
Admittedly, these experts argue, the NDC administration naturally came into power clutching party Manifesto that the NDC, as a political party and John Mahama as President, thinks can deliver the aspirations of Ghanaians in critical areas.
Such sectors evidently include health and education as well as job creation and redeeming of the cocoa sector.
In addition, Mahama and the NDC national engagement trump card includes galamsey fight, corruption in public and political life as well as restructuring of the public sector to truly and responsibly help develop and implement policy for national good.
This, a wide array of accomplished and dignified Ghanaians believe is a deft act as typified in his flying of the National Economic Conference as a call for a national and bipartisan engagement that, once and for all, introduces a collective and inclusive paradigm that must be rolled out in healing and re-igniting Ghana’s economy to trigger industrialisation and job creation.
That, again, the experts say, is critical and relevant in strengthening the economy to support funding of the critical infrastructures needed to accelerate redevelopment of critical sectors of the economy such as health and education, particularly, the Free SHS Programme.
But that, too, The Inquirer, established, includes a definite healing and redemption of the economy riddled with crime and inefficiency in the gold and cocoa sectors.
The President is similarly expected to fly the National Free SHS Confab and then another on fighting galamsey for the national benefit.
Of equal importance, The Inquirer learnt, is another one on tax compliance in nation that culturally abhors taxation since Kwame Nkrumah down to the Second, Third and Fourth Republics.
Will we?
Admitting that the deft strike of the President is timely, two very independent-minded Ghanaians, namely Tony Aidoo and Arthur Kennedy, have queried: Will we? And Can we?
