What is ‘new economy’? Kwesi Pratt questions status of 24-hour economy promise
Veteran journalist Kwesi Pratt Jnr. has criticised the Mahama government’s “New Economy” slogan, demanding to know what it means and whether it signals the quiet abandonment of the 24-Hour Economy promise that brought the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to power. Speaking on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana on November 11, 2026, a day before Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson presents the 2027 Budget, Pratt questioned the sudden rebranding of the government’s economic agenda.
