As Ghana prepares for a new administration, President-elect John Mahama is poised to inherit a multitude of colossal challenges, according to Ningo Prampram lawmaker, Samuel Nartey George. The damage inflicted on the country is gargantuan, and it will require divine guidance for Mahama to lead Ghana successfully, George emphasized.
Speaking on TV3's Key Points, George noted that the Ghanaian people have bestowed immense trust in the incoming administration, and it is essential for Mahama and his appointees to acknowledge that they hold power in trust for the people. He stressed the importance of humility and recognition that ultimate power rests with the Ghanaian people.
Mahama himself appears to be aware of the weight of the challenge he faces. In a meeting with United Nations Resident Coordinator Charles Abani, he acknowledged that his party made several promises during the campaign season, but they need to assess the reality on the ground and determine the way forward. Mahama expressed his commitment to working with the international community, particularly the UN, to address Ghana's challenges.
One of the significant concerns for the incoming administration is the issue of debt repayments. Mahama noted that Ghana needs to smooth out its debt repayment schedule to avoid defaulting, which would have catastrophic consequences. He also highlighted the importance of addressing the erratic rainfall patterns, which have affected food availability, and working with agencies like UNICEF and UNHCR to ameliorate the situation.
The United Nations has assured Mahama of its support, congratulating him on his victory and thanking him for leading his party to a successful, peaceful election. The UN Boss, Charles Abani, emphasized that the organization stands fully with Mahama and Ghana, and is committed to collaborating with the incoming administration.
Mahama has expressed his appreciation for the UN's support, stating that Ghana has a long-standing relationship with the organization and its agencies. He emphasized the need to deepen this relationship, particularly in light of the crisis Ghana is facing.
As Mahama prepares to take office, he is aware that the task ahead will be challenging. He has acknowledged that the expectations of the Ghanaian people are high, and he is working to meet those expectations as quickly as possible. With the support of the international community and the recognition of the weight of responsibility, Mahama's administration can work towards restoring Ghana's stability and prosperity.
