Minister of Communications Dr. Edward Kofi Omane Boamah in an interview with Paul Adom Okyere on Metro TV’s Good Evening Ghana talk show has revealed that President Mahama is fulfilling the Manifesto of the NDC through his Accounting to the People’s Tour.

Speaking on the Accounting to the People’s Tour and the current state of Ghana’s economy, Dr. Omane Boamah said one will be amazed at the rate at which some problems faced by the people have been solved during President Mahama’s Accounting to the People’s Tour and gave the premix fuel challenge at Axim as an example.

“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.
