“The harshest critics of President Mahama can attest to the fact that electricity issues in the country have amazingly improved with the Government adding over 800mw to the power stock,” He said.
He again added that government is building redundancy to take care of emergency situations. “We are diversifying sources of power which include use of solar and biomass,” he noted.
Touching on economic issues, Dr. Omane Boamah said that President Mahama is sincere enough to admit our economy is facing challenges, therefore, diagnosing the challenges and prescribing solutions some of which are structural transformation which needs diversification and value addition.
Dr. Omane Boamah hinted that Cocobod was distributing 110million high yielding and early maturing cocoa seedlings to farmers for free and also taking care of aging cocoa trees.
