Ghana's President-elect, John Dramani Mahama, has affirmed that his administration will not abandon the International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme currently in place.

Speaking in an interview with VOA's Paul Ndiho on Saturday, December 14, Mahama emphasised the importance of continuing the programme while seeking potential adjustments to better align with Ghana's needs. "We've requested some discussion with the IMF because we were part of the negotiation of this programme and so we need to look at how we can all be on the same wavelength in terms of implementing the programme. "We are not going to jettison the programme.

I want to make that clear.

We are not jettisoning the programme but within the programme, I am sure that there can be some leverage for tweaking it.
