The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has strongly denied claims that he promised to stabilize the struggling local currency within 100 days of assuming office.
In response to reports suggesting Mr. Mahama made this pledge at the 8th Ghana CEO Summit, a statement issued on Wednesday, May 29, and signed by Joyce Bawah Mogtari, his Special Aide and Spokesperson, clarified Mr. Mahama’s actual intentions.
According to her, Mr. Mahama intends to launch an urgent economic recovery and fiscal consolidation plan, which will commence following a national economic dialogue scheduled within the first hundred days of his tenure.
“Mr Mahama, with a deep understanding of the economic challenges confronting the country today, did not promise to stabilise the Ghana Cedi within 100 days. Instead, he laid out a comprehensive plan in his remarks at the 8th Ghana CEO Summit to address the challenges, demonstrating his grasp of the situation.
In his own words, Mahama stated, “Our number one priority will be stabilising the economy and restoring a stable currency. We will launch an urgent economic recovery and fiscal consolidation plan following a national economic dialogue to be held within one hundred days of assumption of office.”
The Mahama 2024 Campaign emphasised its steadfast commitment to transparent and responsible communication with Ghanaians.
