Agric minister Bryan Acheampong has admitted that the 24-hour economy policy proposal by former president John Dramani Mahama is a good idea.
Acheampong, speaking at an event in the Central Region over the weekend said even though the proposal was laudable, it was clear that the former president was not the right person to propose it.
He cited the electricity challenges that Mahama faced as president to buttress his point.
“The 24-hour economy is good news, but even in the 8-hour economy, he (Mahama) was unable to keep the lights on… the 8-hour economy he failed at and bequeathed to us, is it 24 hours that he can manage?” Acheampong asked.
