According to him, an NDC government will work to ease the burden of taxes imposed by the NPP administration on Ghanaian businesses and investors, which has robbed Ghana of its envious position as one of Africa's leading destinations for investment.
Dr. Bawumia, reacting to Mahama's promise called on Ghanaians to ignore the proposal.
He said Mahama does not know what a 24-hour economy is therefore, Ghanaians should not vote for him in the 2024 general elections.
Bawumia stated that policy is already being implemented in the country, as hospitals and fuel companies, among others, operate a 24-hour system.
But Professor Kobby, in an X post, said someone should tell Bawumia to stop complaining about someone’s 24-hour economy and tell us what he has got.
