According to him, most of the top businesses in the country are controlled by foreigners and foreign companies with Ghanaians having very little stake in the economy.
“Our economy does not work for Ghanaians, but it should work for everyone. You hear that the economy has grown by this or that percent but how beneficial has it been to Ghanaians,” he asked.

Mr. Mahama has therefore promised to work towards growing Ghanaian indigenous businesses so that the people of Ghana can benefit more from the economy, a promise captured in the NDC’s People’s Manifesto.
He pledged that unlike the NPP, his government will not hound any Ghanaian out of business merely because they are not members of the NDC.
“We are all Ghanaians and when Ghanaians are employed, it helps me as President” he disclosed.
The NDC Presidential Candidate called on Ghanaians to vote for John Mahama and the NDC because of the superior policy proposals, many of which emanated from the people of Ghana themselves.
He also promised to implement all the promises made for the benefit of all Ghanaians when given the mandate to govern.
