President of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe, has offered high praise for the latest manifesto from the National Democratic Congress (NDC), calling it “innovative, accessible, and inclusive.”
Unveiled on August 24, the manifesto sets out the NDC’s strategic objectives for Ghana, including proposals to eliminate certain taxes, probe the 2020 election-related violence, and prevent political appointees from acquiring state assets.
In a social media update, Cudjoe highlighted the manifesto’s focus on enhancing gender equality, particularly its commitment to allocating 30% of public sector positions to women.
He also applauded the initiative to combat period poverty, noting that it could significantly improve educational opportunities and self-esteem for young girls.
Additionally, Cudjoe endorsed the NDC’s proposed fiscal reform and economic summit, describing these measures as “pragmatic and forward-thinking.”
However, he noted that his team will conduct a deeper analysis to quantify the value of the proposed 24-hour economy.
Mr. Cudjoe emphasised the need for good governance, advocating for a shift from concentrating power and resources for personal gain to prioritising the needs of the people.
