Look at this con man
He speaks nonsense all the time because of npp
Policy or end result? Who cares? The value is the same!
No the value is not the same, ofui. We might never get a '24hr economy' if there is no demand. '24hr economy' is NOT a policy. Gyimii saa!
Prof, please address the economic crisis that your clueless and super-corrupt NPP govt has Ghana into. Address the insane corruption and galamsey being perpetrated by your evil govt.
You people have convinced yourselves th ...

I don't debate with fools or lunatics. It's an exercise in futility and a no-brainer!
There is demand for almost everything now but no 24hr economy aboa ba come again
Dumb, uninformed and outdated old man. You better go and get some sleep after babysitting your great grandchildren. The government must implement some deliberate measures before the 24hr economic can become a reality and it i ...

You'll always get the pigs to come and wallow in the mud!!! If you throw your pearls to swines they'll trample on it and turn around and bite you!!!
This is one of the people causing us problems in this country. An old man who through greed wants to be speaker of parliament in a wheel chair? The youth should stop defending such wicked greedy bustard.
His statement is anti youth! I schooled in the UK, and 24hour economy enabled my to juggle education and work! This guy should have died long ago! What a hell is he still alive for?
A senile gyraethic scheming man, corrupt to the core! Please God take himalayas!

look at his stupid face like that of an idiot or an idol. how come this useless RAT became speaker ?
This is the comprehensive analysis so far. This man knows what he’s saying.
Really? It's a policy initiative because some laws has to be made to back it and resources needs to be committed towards it. Opening confectionery store for 24 yes doesn't require permission or authorization, but needs resour ...

Malik, during the time of Nkrumah, some section of the economy was working around the clock, and it wasn't Nkrumah who made that as a policy rather, it was "Demand and Supply".
Why is it that in the advance economies when ...

Is it Not the Policy that brings the end result? Go and sleep Kid.
@Pelicles:
Demand and supply are still governed by laws. You need some changes in the law to allow businesses to open 24hrs. and the resources to help them open. Why I think this is a good policy is that it will allow busi ...

Which company will work for 24 hours if there is no demand for what it produces. Is the government going to buy all the surplus products to keep the companies in business? Business operates on supply and demand.
That is why your darling government has collapsed the ocoa sector.
Because you only know Slogans but no practical solutions.
JDM, is coming to remove your killer taxes and useless wicked E-levy and COVID-19 taxes.

You need to change some labour laws to have a 24 hour economy! For example, can workers work more than their contracted hours? And if they do what will be their compensation? You can just say demand and supply induces it, thr ...

I agree, the NDC should take a clue from it. As much as politics is the bone of all these contentions, let's learn from each other. One party may have an idea but lacks the requisite knowledge or know-now to accomplish it and ...

He's not only an academic or a politician but also a successful businessman.I sometimes critique him but I admire him.
He's wrong! It's a policy initiative!
What kind of business is he into apart from inflating contracts and having g his cut? Or possible been a galampsey kingpin!npps have zero credibility!
The free manufacturing zones in China did not drop from the sky. The Free Manufacturing Zones were policies adopted and implemented by the Chinese Communist Party.
Free manu. zones are not synonymous with 24-hour economies.
The Chinese govt ensures that there is mkt for their produce b4 going into production.Has Mahama/NDC done that?
Galamsey is an end result of your greed, corruption and protection of party big wigs involved in the mining and destruction of the country and not a policy. Yet look at how galamsey is thriving so in the same way a 24 hour ec ...

Fellow Ghanaians, please ignore that senile old fool.
Am not sure what he's still doing around! Should have died long ago!
Stupid old crooked prof. Some of this criminals are disgrace to mother. Infact education is wasted on on this coconut head professor. I wonder how he got his professorships
Very old but cannot shed off his party colours and speak as a statesman.
It looks like there is less demand for cocoa, the reason why Ghana is producing less cocoa than the few years ago.
Overtime in our Labour Laws is a policy and not a demand. The policy made it that people who work in certain ...

Your head like don't touch me soap! stop the fooling.
Is free shs an end result or policy?
John Mahama is a day dreamer. He does not understand what a 24-hour economy means.
NPP scammers are the bane of our lives today. They are very dangerous people and must be avoided at all times. I hear people talking about demand and supply as the catalyst for the 24hour economy. But I disagree with them bec ...

so we cant have a policy to achieve an end result? Too many partisan fools in Ghana
Shut up old fool.
This Dying old man simply can't stop Party Politics,
To the extent that he is even trying to speak against his own ruling as a speaker
Mike Quaye. Energy of progress
This man has done enough damage to our history already. He should spare us with his ignorance
Since when did Mike Oquaye become a practicing industrialist to offer advice. Why can’t Ghana have a government that believes in growth through industrialization and manufacturing?
N ur party policy is “ it is posible”

You haven't said anything sensible Mr. Ex speaker.
Policies should produce results.
No wonder you can't advise Bawumia on a proper campaign message.
How credible this old man, professor, lawyer, speaker, Reverend is? Only God knows!!!!!

Is it 24 our economy.
Look at this old fooled, even your own people couldn't trust you that's why they sack you from the sit idiots.
The NDC should name a policy implemented since 1992 that has significantly benefited Ghanaians and continues to provide lasting benefits to the country today.
Anyone who votes for the NDC is an illitrate and stooge.
Ghana is a country that does not have enough employment capacity in an 8hr economy but some believe that by some mere words , they can have a 24 hour around the clock economy.
Anyway , won’t it great for the youth to have ...
