The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has promised to renew the lost hope of workers. It said the party is committed to upholding the values of workers’ sacrifices through formidable actions and not just lip service.
A press statement signed by the party’s General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, expressed the party’s wishes to workers on International Workers’ Day.
The party assured the public that the next NDC government will find pragmatic measures to address the current economic difficulties. It also assured that it will create opportunities and improve living conditions for all workers.
“We pledge to stabilize the economy: We will implement robust policies to control inflation and enhance job security, ensuring economic stability for every Ghanaian.
“Fair Taxation: We plan to overhaul the tax system to reduce your financial burden and direct government spending towards public benefits that enhance your quality of life.
“Create Quality Jobs: By advancing our dynamic 24-hour economy policy, we aim to provide meaningful employment opportunities that can uplift every household.
“Protect Workers: We are dedicated to enforcing fair labour practices and ensuring robust rights for all workers, defending you against exploitation and injustice.
“Pension Reform: We promise comprehensive improvements to the pension system to guarantee a secure and dignified retirement for every worker,” part of the statement reads.
According to the NDC, they’re committed to dealing with the current economic crisis created by President Nana Akufo-Addo and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. It said bad economic management by the current administration has subjected Ghanaians to excruciating economic hardships such as high inflation, reduced disposable incomes and a severe tax regime that has made life unbearable for the working populace.
“Moreover, the resurgence of Dumsor-disrupting our daily routines serves as a grim reminder of the ineptitude, mismanagement, incompetence, and poor leadership that have plagued our dear nation. This has not only exacerbated our current predicament but starkly reveals the NPP’s blatant disregard for the welfare of the Ghanaian people,” the party added.
The party believes that collaborating with workers, the NDC can usher in a new epoch of fairness, economic security, inclusive growth, and prosperity.
“Stand with us, for with the NDC, a brighter future is not just a promise it is a commitment,” the NDC reiterated.
