  "account": "Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has criticized the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for not delivering on key campaign promises leading up to the 2024 general election. On JoyNews’ The Probe, the Effutu MP stated that the government has not showcased tangible achievements regarding their commitments to the Ghanaian people. Afenyo-Markin emphasized that the government's performance should be measured against the promises made during the election campaign. He specifically addressed the much-discussed 24-Hour Economy policy and the Nkoko Nkitinkiti initiative, which he alleged the NDC had failed to materialize as promised during campaigning. Regarding the 24-Hour Economy, he argued that the policy promised a three-shift system to create jobs but claimed the government had not created the required conditions for private sector growth to generate jobs as envisioned. Afenyo-Markin compared the NDC's record unfavorably to the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy under the previous administration. He noted that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) promised and began implementing Free SHS within its first year of governance, contrasting it with the NDC's delayed action on their pledges.",
