In just three months, President Mahama has set Ghana on a bold path of renewal and progress, delivering on promises that resonate deeply with the people. His administration’s swift and decisive actions have sparked a wave of optimism, signaling a return to prudence, accountability, and common sense in governance.
Gone are the burdensome taxes that once weighed heavily on Ghanaians. The betting tax, e-levy, and emission tax have all been abolished, offering much-needed relief to citizens and businesses alike. The cost of a Ghanaian passport has been slashed from GHS 500 to GHS 350, and the passport office now operates 24/7, ensuring efficiency and accessibility for all.
Education has taken center stage, with Level 100 students now exempt from fees—a move that underscores the administration’s commitment to empowering the youth. Meanwhile, $13.44 million has been allocated to bolster power infrastructure in Tamale, and streetlights have returned to Accra, illuminating the city and restoring a sense of safety.
President Mahama’s leadership has also brought dignity and respect back to traditional authorities, with chiefs now receiving the recognition they deserve. Assemblymen, too, are benefiting from allowances, reflecting a government that values grassroots leadership.
Women entrepreneurs have a reason to celebrate with the establishment of the National Women Development Bank, dedicated to supporting women-led businesses. Businesses across the board are experiencing a resurgence, as investor confidence returns to Ghana’s shores.
Accountability has become a cornerstone of this administration. The ORAL report, a groundbreaking initiative, promises to save billions and aid in prosecuting corrupt officials. High-profile figures like Ken Ofori-Atta and Gifty Oware, implicated in scandals, are now facing the scrutiny of the Office of the Special Prosecutor, signaling a zero-tolerance approach to corruption.
Freedom of speech has been restored, and the reduction in Hajj fares demonstrates a government attuned to the needs of its people. The Keta Sea Defense Wall stands as a testament to the administration’s commitment to safeguarding communities and addressing pressing environmental challenges.
In just 100 days, President Mahama has reignited hope and set Ghana on a trajectory of growth and renewal. The message is clear: a new era of governance has begun, one that prioritizes the well-being of its citizens and the future of the nation. The journey to #ResettingGhana is well underway, and the results speak for themselves.
