Nkrumah secured political freedom; Mahama will deliver economic freedom – Gyakye Quayson

Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister James Gyakye Quayson believes that President John Dramani Mahama holds the key to delivering economic freedom for the people of Ghana, following the nation's attainment of political independence. Quayson asserts that Mahama's administration is committed to ensuring that the country's resources, both natural and economic, are distributed equitably among its citizens rather than being hoarded by the privileged few.

The Assin North MP calls for the creation of opportunities for young people to secure steady incomes and enhance their living standards, emphasizing that Ghana's resources should serve the needs of all its people. Quayson positions political leadership as accountable to the welfare of the majority, stating that those who neglect the interests of the people should face consequences.

During an interview on Channel One TV's Akwasi Addo, Quayson encouraged Ghanaian citizens to back President Mahama in fulfilling his mandate, highlighting the shared sentiment that despite the country's ample resources, many young people continue to face challenges in earning a regular income. Quayson challenges the fairness of such a system, questioning why 50% of the audience cannot rely on a monthly income or resources.

Furthermore, Quayson urges citizens to demand accountability from those entrusted with political power, emphasizing that if a leader fails to prioritize the welfare of the majority, they should be removed. Regardless of who assumes leadership, Quayson insists that neglecting the welfare of the majority should result in repercussions.

He expresses confidence in Mahama's administration, asserting that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government recognizes its responsibility and is determined not to disappoint the electorate.

Quayson remains optimistic about Mahama's legacy, encouraging Ghanaians to support the President's efforts to deliver on his commitments.
