Vice President of policy think tank IMANI Africa, Kofi Bentil, has cast doubt on the feasibility of President John Mahama's proposed 24-hour economy policy, warning that Ghana may achieve less than 30% of its targets if past governance trends persist.
Speaking on JoyFM's Newsfile on Saturday, Mr Bentil likened the plan to previous "fanciful ideas" that yielded minimal results despite heavy spending.
Mr Bentil accused successive governments of recycling grandiose pledges without addressing core challenges.
He cited the 1D1F initiative, where over $541 million was invested in 169 enterprises, most of which now struggle. "We create excuses for underdevelopment, then excuses for failed projects, and finally excuses for wasted funds," he said.
