Amin Adam describes 24-hour economy policy as 'dead on arrival'
Mohammed Amin Adam, former Finance Minister and Member of Parliament for Karaga, criticised the government's 24-hour economy policy, describing it as a slogan without a clear implementation strategy. He stated, "The 24 hour economy remains a slogan." He also observed a pattern where the government is forcing public agencies to operate 24 hours without increasing staff.
Dr Amin Adam argued that the government lacks the financial capacity to create jobs through the public sector with this policy. He noted that the wage bill is 30% of the Budget and will be 33% in 2025. He claimed the policy had stalled because the government failed to provide the incentive package promised to the private sector in the 2026 Budget.
Dr. Amin Adam alleged that the 24-Hour Economy Secretariat had not received funding from the GHS110 million allocation approved for the year. He insisted that "the policy is dead on arrival. It is a scam!"
