We have kept our promises – Mahama on 120-day social contract

President John Mahama has commended his administration for fulfilling the promises made in the first 120 days of his second term.

In an address on Wednesday, May 7, to mark 120 days in office, the president touted several achievements within the period.

He cited the abolishment of the controversial E-levy and betting tax, the launch of a Code of Conduct for political appointees, and the formation of a lean government.

“Indeed, I have so far appointed only 56 ministers and deputies. So far, the smallest number of ministers and deputies appointed by any president in the Fourth Republic.

“We made promises and we have kept them, our first 120 days have been defined by decisive action, commitment to transparency and relentless focus on laying the foundation for building the Ghana we want, a just, prosperous and united Ghana,” he said.

Meanwhile, he said plans are far advanced in implementing his administration’s 24-hour economy policy.

“We promised to commence drafting the needed legal amendments and prepare for implementation within the first 120 days – and we have delivered on that promise.”
