Victoria Hamah provides detailed explanations of NDC’s 24-hour economy

Former Deputy Minister of Information, Victoria Hamah

Victoria Hamah, former Deputy Minister of Communications, has explained the 24-hour economy proposed by the opposition.

John Dramani Mahama, the NDC presidential candidate, introduced the 24-hour economy as one of the party’s flagship policies for the upcoming 2024 elections.

However, the policy has divided opinions among Ghanaians, with the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) expressing skepticism over its feasibility.

Ms Hamah contributed to the discussion by posting a detailed explanation of the NDC’s controversial 24-hour economy on Facebook.

“The 24-hour economy is primarily a demand-driven policy proposal, based on capital infrastructure, agribusiness and constitutional reform. It aims to achieve sustainable industrialization of the Ghanaian economy by providing it with much-needed sustainable jobs and private capital,” Ms Hama wrote.

“Therefore, the 24-hour economy will provide Ghanaians with more jobs and more businesses. To ensure the sustainable development of the Ghanaian economy, we must move from short-term supply-driven policy interventions to long-term demand-driven policies.

“Demand-driven policies create structural transformation, which is crucial to free Ghana from dependence on aid, subsidies and loans,” she wrote.

Her post followed Paul Odom Otchere’s ‘Good Evening Ghana’ program on Tuesday, which criticized some members of the NDC leadership for their inability to explain their policies to Ghanaians.

The ‘Good Evening Ghana’ host condemned the verbal attacks by NDC communicator Dr. Grace Ayensu Danquah on NPP communicator Akosua Manu after the two women disagreed on policy, describing Dr. Danquah as “dirty, filthy and vile”.
