100 Days of Akufo-Addo is far better than 1,642 Days of Mahama

100 Days of President Akufo-Addo is far better than 1,642 Days of John Mahama-CVM

So far so good, the 100 Days of President Akufo-Addo's Government has been rated by CVM as 99.9% Excellent.

The Ghanaian Voter is also confidently saying that the Administration of President Akufo-Addo is far better than the One Thousand Six Hundred and Forty-two (1,642) Days of John Mahama Administration.

The reasons cited for the excellent performance of President Akufo-Addo in 100 Days are as follows:

1. Formation of his Government within a twinkle of an eye
2. Making a Strong Case for Political Economy with the Asempa Budget
3. Abolishment of nuisance Taxes
4. Dumsor has been solved
5. The Cedi has appreciated significantly against the major trading currencies, that is $1=GHC 3.87
6. Reduction of the Policy Rate of Bank of Ghana from 25.5% to 23.5%
7. Reduction of the Inflation Rate from 15.4% to 13.2%
8. Restoration of Nursing Trainees Allowance
9. Restoration of Teacher Trainees Allowance
10. Approval of the payment for National Service Personnel at GHC 559

17. Commencement of the Development of Zongo and Inner Cities
18. Reduction of the Prices for Fertilizers by 50% to Farmers
19. Energy Sector Levies Amendment Bill is passed
20. Rule of Law is working especially with the Case of the Delta Force

21. Separation of Government from the Party

President Akufo-Addo's Government has disbursed GHC 256 million for the revamping of 100 Private Commercially Viable Companies throughout the Country.
23. Moderate lifestyle and Discipline at the Presidency
