The Atiwa East Parliamentary Candidate, Lawyer Kenneth Agyare on Saturday, February 16, led scores of National Democratic Congress (NDC) executives and supporters on a walk to sensitize Atiwa East Constituency members, Anyinam blog on the NDC’s proposed 24-hour economy policy.
The walk procession started through the principal streets of Anyinam, Moseaso where the PC made a stop at the Kwabeng Junction to address participants and traders.
Lawyer Agyare took a swipe at the New Patriotic Party government for its inability to create jobs and other key infrastructure projects in the Atiwa East constituency.
He also blamed the Nana Addo-Bawumia-led government for failing to stabilize the economy as promised.
Lawyer Agyare also took time to explain the proposed 24-hour Economy policy and emphasized it will help to address Ghana’s unemployment challenges.
“24-hour economy is being implemented in other countries, it is not something new at all. Pharmacies, pump stations, and sawmills were all operating when we were all kids. How come some companies now close at 5 pm, 8 pm. Can’t the Anyinam and other Markets operate a 24-hour economy for people to buy stuff? President Mahama’s administration will provide security and transport for people to work at night. Other measures will be put in place to ensure that the 24-hour economy works”.
Economic Hardship
He said Ghana continues to struggle with the high cost of living.
Lawyer Agyare confidently assured Atiwa East NDC will capture the seat from NPP in the upcoming 2024 general elections.

He said every votes will be countered, and with the support from the constituents the seat will be captured from the NPP. “We will win Atiwa East for the NDC, with significant number of votes” he said.
