John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Democratic Congress (NDC), has revealed his desire to destroy various government projects deemed inefficient, including the extensively promoted ‘One Village, One Dam’ plan.
Mahama underlined that reallocating monies from these projects will allow for major investments in businesses that may boost the country’s economic growth and create substantial revenue.
Given the continued economic challenges, the former president emphasized the critical importance of intelligent financial decisions and fiscal discipline.
He chastised the present administration for failing to cut government spending and focused solely on income production without addressing the underlying causes of financial inefficiencies.
He promised that if he wins the upcoming general elections on December 7, all costly ventures and efforts will be scrapped and cash would be redirected to more profitable projects.
“This government made numerous blunders, and we are once again facing a crisis in which we must slash spending. This government is not eager to reduce spending. During a crisis, you reduce spending and boost revenue.
“All they are doing is increasing revenues but without reducing expenditure. We are going to eliminate all those wasteful projects; One Village, One Dam and all those things that they spent billions on so that we can use that money in the more productive sectors to make the economy grow again. Like Planting for Food and Jobs.”
