In a bold move ahead of the December 7 general elections, John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has pledged to discontinue several government initiatives he considers unproductive, including the ‘One Village, One Dam’ project. Mahamaargues that redirecting funds from such projects is crucial for financing more economically beneficial ventures.
Amidst current economic difficulties, the former president has called for strategic financial planning and strict fiscal discipline. He has criticized the incumbent government’s focus on increasing revenue without adequately addressing excessive expenditures.
Mahama promises that, if elected, his administration will prioritize cutting down on wasteful spending and reallocating resources to more profitable sectors such as the ‘Planting for Food and Jobs’ initiative, with the goal of revitalizing economic growth.
