What a is 24-hour economy? Just abusing the minds of ignorant people for votes when you have no real significant policies for progress but a pursuit of power for your greedy selfish gains. Only fools will support this and curse themselves. I am surprised people like Professor Jane Naana Agyemang, Professor Alabi Joshua, Dr. Spio Garbrah, Dr. Ofosu Ampofo and others etc. are of high knowledge and cannot reasonable tell John Mahama that this 24 hour plots will mess the economy with a lot of imports that will scoop money from the economy of Ghana since we do not product that much to sell abroad for more foreign revenue but mostly buying from abroad to sell in Ghana. It is like some intellectuals have lost their conscience and the value of their knowledge in supporting a corrupt dead goat for power to abuse innocent poor Ghanaians in a plot to keep enriching their pockets by greed and selfishness. Birds of the same feathers flock together.

Honestly, I don't know what at all this John Mahama wants. If you could not solve problems in all these years in politics with your intelligence, allow fresh minds of great intelligence to also get the chance and prove themselves too. You cannot be that much greedy, selfish and reckless to risk the lives of innocent Ghanaians. I am surprised that no one in the NDC was bold enough to tell him. If Ghanaians choose him, then they deserve their curses by their own ignorance as in Hosea 4:6 of the Bible, unless the God of America and this world does not truly exist.

I get really pissed off to continue seeing these types of "Konongo Kayas" in Ghana's politics while they continue to risk the lives of innocents Ghanaians with poverty and struggles for many years or decades and at the same time the society cannot reason but still support these nonsenses. Political Appointments must end for Ghana to develop by competition in leadership with National PRIDE (Patriotism, Readiness, Intelligence, Discipline and Efficiency) and not selfishness with corruption, thefts, bribery, looting, incompetence, atrocities, poverty and struggles. The answer is simply this "End all political appointments and ensure every top official is elected by votes". Elected officials can choose their deputies, assistants, running mates or next in command as the president does. That's all what is needed! Well, God helps only those who help themselves.

Because of political appointments and inflated contracts for their a percentage cut to leaders most people of Ghana and Africa enter into politics for gains to enrich themselves and not to solve problems. Ending political appointments is the best ways to avoid societal abuses and expedite progress toward quick development. Most leaders of Ghana and African nations often destroy their society for some selfish small gains into their pockets just like John Mahama used his own brother in the Airbus scandal to buy poor quality dangerous aircrafts at an inflated price for their own selfish gains that cost poor Ghanaians. He is set free to go and he still wants more power to steal more. He will do the worse due to no accountability that J. J. Rawlings advocated for and created the NDC with that mindset which has now allowed the most corrupt one in NDC think he can continue abuse Ghanaians and call them people of low thinking.

So in Ghana, apart from the prositutes working late by some street corners, and christians doing all night prayers, the entire country shuts down after 12 midnight. The rest of us are usually at home after 12 midnight enjoying our small bedtime entertainment with our wives so what do you mean by 24 hour economy???

Mahama is a nightmare to you and your family. Looks like you have an obsession leading to mental health issues. Check it man, before it's too late.

The problem with the NDC is that they learn of a catchphrase and go to town without understanding what it means.

No wonder they are unable to articulate what it means in real terms

Ghanaians are interested in suffering otherwise why should they still be supporting this corrupt and incompetent government. Former Prez Mahama is not an angel but he is 100% better than this current government. At least he accepted responsibility during his period and eventually fixed it before handing over power to this current government. What did they say in opposition and what did they give to Ghanaians besides suffering?

What did Mahama fix before leaving office? Reason why Mahama wants to come back, because of people like you.

Some of you have no idea what covid-19 did to the entire world economy. Mahama did not experience anything like covid but what was his record in all sectors of the economy? He went to IMF with the stupid excuse that "ebola" had caused irreparable damage to our economy and the same fool tells Ghanaians that covid had no impact on Ghana.

All the huge debts Mahama left behind such as teachers backlog pay, were settled by the current government, Under Mahama, NHIS was deep in hole up to 1.2billion cedis meaning NHIS wasn't operational till NPP came to the rescue so, what did Mahama fix?

The NPP just keeps scapegoating Covid as a reason for NPP's incompetence and failed policies, but Ghanaians know better than to buy into this NPP big fat lie. While scapegoating Covid, the NPP continues to impose a Covid tax on struggling Ghanaians, though Mr. Corona and his wife Covid-419 ended their Ghana vacation a long time ago.

They have explained and articulated it. How can you understand it when your own party people interpret "Review" as "cancel". You can't understand it yourself.

You say it's impossible and then turn around to say it's already being practiced.
Dr Ayensu rightly said it that the 24 Hour Economy is not for weak minds.

Well written!!!!
What many citizens do not understand is that, what he is proposing is not a new concept. Without the necessary logistics, the 24 hr system will fail. With poor electricity,transportation and lack of vision in leadership, this system does not stand a chance!. Why is he proposing an idea which he knows the country is not able to embark on? He is just feeding on the ignorance of the masses!

There are times when Africans or citizens of third world countries insult each other over a unperformed, act like lark of electricity, water or homes.
In the case of Ghana we tried to overcome all those at independence.
The CPP government laid down plans and it put into action measures to prevent things like lark of electricity and water.
It build the Akosombo Hydroelectric Dam, was about to build the Bui Dam when it was overthrown.
There was also an arrangement at the time of the coup for us to start enhancing the power of the atom.
I mean generation electricity through nuclear fusion.
As a result Kwame Nkrumah appealed to the Soviet Union to give us a nuclear reactor, whiles we were building the Akosombo dam, with the human resource, material and machinery for the same Soviet Union to build the Bui Dam for us free of charge in place.
Kwame Nkrumah was also into solar and biofuel energy.
Kwaku Badu will tell me that no nation does something free for another nation.
The free things that other countries did for us are the food silos build by the Yugoslavia, Accra Technical Training Centre by Canada and Tema Technical Training Centre by the Soviet Union.
U.S. and her allies which overthrew the CPP government led by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah forced us to abandon the Kwabenya nuclear power and Bui power projects.
In the nutshell U.S. and her allies know before hand what they were depriving us as a result of the overthrow of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, and how they will knock our heads together over
what they wicked actions of the overthrow of Kwame Nkrumah caused us.
They are people without a soul, because people with souls hate to burden others.

Great article. I am glad some intelligent people see through this 24-hour economy nonsense.

The free market economy of demand and supply determines the 24-hour economy. Other basic economic necessities will also help sustain it. These necessities include 24-hour electricity, water supply, security, banking and credit systems, road network, communication network, etc. Security alone will destroy any 24-hour economic initiative.

You are correct in your assessment. Furthermore, the majority of manufacturing sectors, including the mines and steel industries in Tema, are already operating on a 24-hour basis. Unless he is able to rely on the 1D1F factories, which are yet to commence the second phase of their operations. It is probable that these industries will cease to exist, as they were established during a different era and therefore cannot survive in the NDC economic climate.

NPP nation-looters are allergic to real work, for they prefer to be preoccupied with 24-hour looting of Ghana government assets. NPP looters are scared the NDC's 24-hour economy proposal will force the NPP looters to give up their NPP 24-hour looting enterprise, hence the NPP's reluctance to embrace the NDC 24-hour economy proposal.
