The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has pledged to rationalize the fees charged at the country’s ports.
He also announced plans to implement measures aimed at stabilizing the cedi against the dollar.
Mr. Mahama made these commitments during the launch of the NDC manifesto on Saturday, August 24, in Winneba.
“We will rationalize port fees and charges, and put in place measures to stabilize the cedi and macroeconomic environment,” he stressed.
Mr. Mahama further stated that, his government “will restore the licenses of institutions that were wrongfully collapsed by the NPP government.”
He also vowed to launch a thorough investigation into the NPP government’s controversial Gold for Oil (G4O) program.
The G4O initiative, introduced as a strategic measure to stabilize fuel prices and reduce the country’s dependency on foreign oil markets, has been mired in allegations of mismanagement and corruption.
Although some critics have alleged that the program lacks transparency due to how contracts were awarded, the governing NPP insists due process was followed.
