The Minority in Parliament has raised concerns over the absence of the 24-hour economy policy in the Mahama administration’s 2025 budget.
The caucus noted that neither the President nor the Finance Minister included the initiative in the State of the Nation Address or the government’s policy document.
In his closing remarks in Parliament on Friday, March 28, Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin questioned the feasibility of the 24-hour economy programme.
“It is interesting that his Excellency assured us that his finance minister would outline the famous policy of a 24-hour economy in his budget.
“Dr Forson, also in his statement, deferred this all important policy and promises another time. Meaning, that for the 2025 financial year, the 24 hour policy is ‘Yamutu.’”
