A prominent figure in the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, has criticized the National Democratic Congress (NDC) regarding their advertisement promoting the 24-Hour Economy policy, which is a key aspect of their agenda for the upcoming 2024 general election.
The advertisement suggested that banks would operate around the clock, allowing customers to cash their checks as late as 2:00 a.m.
Skeptical of the claim that banks could conduct transactions at such an hour, Gabby expressed disbelief and initially assumed the advertisement was a hoax.
He questioned the rationale behind banks being open at 2:00 a.m. during the 4th Industrial Revolution.
“I saw this ad on air of a party promising to have commercial banks opening 24hrs to allow people to go to the bank at 2am to transact business.
“I was assuming it was fake. But, apparently, it is not! This is the 4th Industrial Revolution, for crying out loud! Please ask bankers,” Gabby wrote.
The advertisement showcased popular Ghanaian comedian DKB, who reassured his partner, who was nagging him for money, that cashing a check at 2:00 a.m. would be feasible in a 24-hour economy.
After a restful sleep, DKB woke up in the middle of the night to cash the check, much to the delight of his wife.
