Louisa Kwakye, a member of the Communications team of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has commended former President John Dramani Mahama’s approach to economic recovery, highlighting his commitment to local production and fiscal responsibility.
Speaking on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana, as monitored by MyNewsGH, she noted that Mahama is leading by example.
“One key thing that His Excellency is doing now is walking the talk. At a majority of state programs he attends, he wears made-in-Ghana outfits,” she pointed out.
She also praised the former President’s focus on boosting local industries and ensuring that economic recovery is driven by Ghanaian manufacturing.
“If you notice the direction of his fiscal policy, spending, and efforts to recoup what we have lost over the years, he seeks to do that through local production, manufacturing, and adding value to the things we create and produce in this country,” she added.
On governance and gender balance, she applauded Mahama’s efforts toward achieving gender equality.
“You saw two men and two women standing on that stage—gender equality and gender equity balance at play.
“One thing we should also note, since we are in International Women’s Week, is that the former President is committed to ensuring that 30% of his appointees are women, and he will work to achieve even more,” she stated.
