Former Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan has charged the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to clarify and explain in detail how they are going to ensure their 24-hour economy policy is feasible.
The former Sunderland markman says some quarters are already running similar policies, tasking the newly-elected President John Mahama to rather improve it.
“It already exists. Police stations, hospitals, and filling stations already operate on a 24-hour basis,” Gyan munched in an Instagram live session on Thursday, January 2.
“If the government says ‘24-hour economy,’ they should focus on improving it. It’s not a new policy.”
Prior to the 2024 elections, the NDC explained in detail its 24-hour policy intervention, which will be implemented when given the mandate to run the affairs of the country.
Describing the 24-hour economy as a deliberate policy intervention by the next NDC/Mahama government, the party said the intervention would 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
The policy, the party said, was mainly anchored on Mahama's overarching vision to create sustainable jobs for Ghanaians.
Gyan before shunning politics was selected to be part of NPP's failed Presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign team ahead of last year's elections.
