Mr Mahama made the remarks at the inauguration of the NDC Aldershot branch of the UK and Ireland Chapter. He said Ghana has retrogressed in every sector thus needing a critical reset to reposition it for growth.
“This year’s election is different. We must win this victory, not for the NDC but for Ghana” Mahama stated.
John Mahama said even state-owned enterprises that were making money every year have now become loss-making machines instead. He attributed it to what he says is a ‘share and eat’ government.
“Our country has deteriorated in every sector, including healthcare and education. State-owned enterprises that were making profits are all making losses, and that is because it is a ‘yenkyendi’ government in place.
“I will give you two examples. In the 2016/2017 crop year, the Produce Buying Company purchased 30% of the total cocoa exported from Ghana.
“GIHOC Distilleries was one of the best-performing state-owned enterprises under my administration. The company raised capital from its operations and invested independently in new production lines. Today, GIHOC is a shadow of itself. It is struggling to pay staff salaries. I could go on and on.
