John Mahama vows to restore investor confidence by settling government debts
John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has promised to address the government’s outstanding financial obligations to investors if elected in the upcoming elections.
Speaking at the Foreign Direct Investment series in Accra, John Mahama highlighted the negative impact of these unfulfilled commitments on investor confidence and emphasized his dedication to upholding the sanctity of contracts.
“A new NDC government shall respect the sanctity of contracts, and I am sure many of you are waiting to hear this, properly executed [contracts] that deliver value to the people of Ghana and to the investor.
He assured that a new NDC government would prioritize resolving these payment issues in a transparent and timely manner, similar to the approach taken during his previous tenure as President.
Mahama also reiterated the need for policies that would drive economic transformation in Ghana, committing to protect both the interests of the nation and its investors.
“Several investors have complained about the lack of commitment on the part of the government to honour outstanding financial commitments in respect of goods and services that have been provided.
“I have taken notice of this important issue and I want to assure all those in that situation currently that we will take an inventory of all that and our government shall urgently work to resolve all these payment issues through a system that will be transparent and timely, just as happened when I was president.”
