Politics of Friday, 20 February 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Minority Caucus has criticised what it describes as inconsistencies and policy symbolism within the Mahama administration’s flagship programmes, including the 24-hour economy initiative. According to the statement signed by Frank Annoh-Dompreh, the 24-Hour Economy “has departed totally from its original vision”. It pointed to what it described as contradictions between claims of 300,000 jobs and assertions of one million jobs created. “A government that cannot agree with itself on employment data cannot credibly manage national employment policy,” the statement said, adding that headlines were being prioritised over verified facts. The statement concluded that reform without implementation design amounts to “policy symbolism”, warning that legislative announcements without structural backing risk eroding public trust in governance and national transformation efforts.
