There is widespread optimism amongst Ghanaians after the return of John Mahama to the Presidency.

He pledged, in his inaugural address, to tackle the macroeconomic environment to help private businesses, anchored around agriculture and agribusiness, improve governance and accountability and tackle public health/environmental sustainability to make us ready for the next pandemic.

He is off to a great start.

He has already established ORAL and issued a directive to the IGP to investigate the election-related deaths of Ghanaians in 2020 and 2024 and another to halt the corrupt sale of public lands.
