  "account": "Dr Kwesi Djokoto, Deputy Director in charge of operations for the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), has emphasized that President John Mahama's Reset Agenda aims to ensure Africa's natural resources truly benefit its people. He argued that true independence requires countries to own, process, and profit from their resources. \"Our wealth must work for our people,\" he stated. Djokoto supported his argument with a quote from Ghana's first President, Dr Kwame Nkrumah, on Africa's resource wealth and the issue of neo-colonialism. The president-elect described the Reset Agenda as a program to rebuild Ghana's economy, strengthen national institutions, and restore public confidence by focusing on fairness, inclusion, and accountability. This initiative includes job creation, improved public services, and economic transformation. Key projects under this agenda are the 24-Hour Economy, National Apprenticeship Programme, Free Primary Healthcare, digital governance, and export-led industrialization. The government is also committed to industrial transformation through local value addition, generating more economic benefits from domestic production and processing.",
