A few years ago, the Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, Philip Alston, embarked on a mission to Ghana from 9 to 18 April 2018 in accordance with the Human Rights Council resolution 35/19. The Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, Philip Alston, observes: “Ghana remains a champion of democracy in Africa, with power having regularly changed hands democratically since 1992. Based on the preceding outstanding accomplishments, some of us cannot, therefore, stand accused of harbouring risible proclivity and persistently maintaining that President Akufo-Addo indeed possesses the attributes of a visionary leader. Within that short period, the Akufo-Addo’s government efficiently raised the economic growth. The 2017 Non-oil GDP for industry recorded a growth rate of 0.4 percent, compared with 4.9 percent in 2016.
