Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The 24 hour economy idea that the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Former President John Dramani Mahama announced was suggested to him by a professor hence his inability to explain in detail how the plan would work, Deputy Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Ernest Kofi Owusu-Bempah Bonsu, has said.<\/b><\/p>\n

To Mr. Owusu-Bemoah, the NDC and Mr Mahama are unable to provide a blueprint to convince Ghanaians how this proposal would work because it is not their original idea.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is bereft of idea, he doesn\u2019t have any idea. A Professor suggested this idea to Mahama and that Professor is worried that the NDC\u2019s explanation is not the way the idea will work, they don\u2019t have a clue how to espouse the idea,\u201d he said adding that \u201cI give Mhamaa one week to come out on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Mahama proposed the \u201924hr Economy \u2018 project when he met with officials of the country\u2019s mother workers union on Tuesday, November 7, 2023 at the start of his engagement with key stakeholders in a quest to return to power.<\/p>\n

The NDC subsequently explained that the 24-hour economy proposal will focus on 13 industries.<\/p>\n

The party said the proposal is part of an ambitious drive by the next Mahama administration to take Ghana to the next level in the global economy.<\/p>\n

According to information contained in a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) sighted, \u201cThe 24-hour economy will therefore primarily, but not exclusively, focus on: \u201c 24-hour Agro-processing, 24-hour Pharmaceutical industry, 24-hour Manufacturing industry, 24-hour Construction, 24-hour Extractive industry (mining and quarrying), 24-hour Sanitation and waste management and 24-hour Leisure and hospitality industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rest are; 24-hour Digital start-ups and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), 24-hour Financial services, 24-hour Retail centers, 24-hour Transportation services, and selected public institutions with large customer traffic such as Ports and Harbors, Customs, Passport Office, DVLA, among others will be part of the 24-hour economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 24-hour Economy will be a deliberate policy intervention by the next NDC\/Mahama government to encourage and support certain businesses and companies to operate 24\/7, preferably in a three-shift system of 8 hours each, by creating an enabling environment that promotes productivity, competitiveness and well-paying jobs,\u201d the document further clarified.<\/p>\n
