Flagbearer for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has pledged to resolve unfulfilled financial commitments made by the government to investors in his next administration.
Mahama, while acknowledging the adverse impact of unfulfilled commitments on investor confidence, reaffirmed his commitment to protect the sanctity of contracts.
Speaking at the Foreign Direct Investment series in Accra, John Mahama underscored the need to champion policies aimed at transforming Ghana’s economy.
“A new NDC government shall respect the sanctity of contracts, and I am sure many of you are waiting to hear this, properly executed [contracts] that deliver value to the people of Ghana and to the investor.
“Several investors have complained about the lack of commitment on the part of the government to honour outstanding financial commitments in respect of goods and services that have been provided.
“I have taken notice of this important issue and I want to assure all those in that situation currently that we will take an inventory of all that and our government shall urgently work to resolve all these payment issues through a system that will be transparent and timely, just as happened when I was president.”
