The Deputy National Communications Directions of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Ernest Owusu Bempah is arguing that the 24-hour economy policy of John Mahama is baseless.

According to him, he has travelled across many countries and has never seen any big restaurant in America operating  24 hours.

Ernest Owusu Bempah cited bigger restaurants and eateries like Mcdonalds', and Burger King as an example; stating that these restaurants do not operate 24 hours although they employ a large number of people.

Ernest Wusu Bempah described the policy as dead on arrival. "There's nothing like a policy called 24-hour economy.
