ACCRA (CONVERSEER) – President John Mahama-led Ghanaian government has released a report outlining its achievements during its first 120 days in office, asserting that it has fulfilled all 25 campaign promises under the slogan #PromisesDelivered.
The document covers reforms in governance, economy, education, security, and the environment. Notable governance initiatives include the formation of a lean cabinet within 90 days, introduction of a civil servant code of conduct, a ban on political appointees acquiring public assets, and a bill to streamline scholarship administration and combat nepotism.
On the economic front, the administration has called for the removal of unpopular taxes such as the E-tax, COVID tax, and betting tax, while adjusting import duties to boost local industries.
The education sector has seen the introduction of free tuition for first-year students and the launch of a medical care fund for persons with disabilities, alongside the distribution of free sanitary pads in schools.
