  "account": "Mr. Richard Adjorlolo, a Ghanaian entrepreneur and former banker, has urged government officials to prioritize job creation, infrastructure development, and local industrialization in the upcoming 2027 Budget Statement. He spoke to the Ghana News Agency in Takoradi, where he emphasized that with the economy showing signs of stabilization, the next phase of policy should focus on translating the gains into employment opportunities, affordable prices, and improved livelihoods.\n\nAdjorlolo appealed to the government to maintain low inflation, stabilize the cedi, and refrain from introducing major new taxes that could discourage investment and hinder business expansion. He also advocated for the implementation of the 24-hour economy agenda through infrastructure projects, suggesting that construction activities should be scheduled at night where feasible to minimize disruptions to daytime economic activities.\n\nFinally, Adjorlolo stressed that the 2027 Budget must clearly demonstrate a commitment to transitioning from economic stabilization to sustained growth, productive investment, and decent employment opportunities.",
