Augustus Goosie Tanoh, Presidential Advisor on the 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Programmes, has expressed unrelenting faith in President John Dramani Mahama’s unwavering dedication to revitalizing credibility and legitimacy in governance.
During an illuminating discussion on Channel One TV’s The Point of View, Tanoh underscored President Mahama’s remarkable achievements within his inaugural 120 days in office, characterizing them as a prove to his unflinching purpose and commitment to spearheading national transformation.
“I think that the social contract, the 120-day contract, and the fact that he has achieved all those milestones show a new, renewed determination and purpose. And that sets the landscape for what is to come, and so, in that sense, yes, I think he has demonstrated clearly that he means business, he also means to promote, protect and expand business,” Tanoh articulated with conviction.
Tanoh further elucidated that the 24-Hour Economy initiative embodies a paradigm shift in the state’s interaction with citizens, businesses, and institutions, transcending the notion of extended working hours.
“One of the interesting things is that the reset [agenda] is also about the state and the way the state relates to the citizenry, relates to businesses and other institutions. Because without an efficient and friendly state, investors will run away, and it will also become a barrier and a bar to progress and development,” he astutely observed.
Tanoh commended the President’s resolute stance against corruption, highlighting the introduction of a Code of Conduct for public officials as a beacon of the administration’s unwavering commitment to transparency and accountability.
“Some of the anti-corruption things he has done, such as the Code of Conduct, are to lead the way that this our dispensation we mean business and we will do it,” he emphasized.
Tanoh’s laudatory remarks coincide with the launch of the government’s flagship 24-Hour Economy policy, a visionary initiative aimed at catalyzing job creation, boosting productivity, and fostering inclusive economic growth by promoting round-the-clock operations in pivotal sectors such as healthcare, transportation, retail, and manufacturing.
