Ghanaian opposition figure Mahamudu Bawumia accused John Mahama’s government of failing to deliver its 24-hour economy policy, two years after its launch. At a New Patriotic Party rally in Sunyani, he also challenged claims that economic indicators had improved, saying households had yet to feel the effects.

Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate in Ghana’s presidential election, accused John Mahama’s government of failing to deliver its “24-hour economy” plan, MyJoyOnline reports. At an NPP thanksgiving ceremony in Sunyani, he questioned whether the jobs promised to Ghanaians had been created.

“We have waited two years, but we cannot…,” Bawumia said, according to MyJoyOnline. The excerpt of his remarks does not allow the quote to be completed.
