Ghana’s push for inclusive economic development received a major boost as the Majority Leader in Parliament, Mahama Ayariga, pledged full legislative support to President John Dramani Mahama’s growth and job creation agenda. Speaking at the Kwahu Business Forum on Saturday, April 19, Ayariga assured the president and stakeholders in the private sector that Parliament is fully committed to partnering with the executive to unlock opportunities for national prosperity.
Ayariga addressed a gathering of business leaders and financial sector stakeholders with a message that blended optimism with action. He emphasised that Ghana’s Parliament is prepared to take bold steps to ensure the president’s vision becomes a reality, particularly in the area of equitable employment and business empowerment. According to him, the legislature will go beyond words to provide the necessary oversight and backing to ministries and enterprises across the country.
He described the private sector as the engine of national growth and development, underscoring the need to support business leaders who serve as innovators and job creators. His words acknowledged the vital role of entrepreneurs in driving progress, assuring them that their challenges will not go unnoticed. He stated that Parliament's various committees will collaborate with sector ministers to identify the hurdles businesses face and help craft actionable solutions tailored to address them.
The Majority Leader praised the Kwahu Business Forum as a meaningful platform that demonstrates President Mahama’s strong commitment to empowering the private sector. He indicated that Parliament will actively monitor ministers to ensure they deliver on their promises and remain aligned with the broader national development strategy. His message resonated with attendees, reflecting a unified front between Ghana’s executive and legislative arms.
Ayariga was firm in his resolve that Parliament would work tirelessly to support enterprise development across the country. From incubation to growth, he said there would be deliberate efforts to create an enabling environment where businesses can thrive. This includes identifying sector-specific needs and rolling out targeted interventions that reflect real-time industry challenges.
By focusing on practical collaboration between lawmakers and policymakers, Ayariga made it clear that the goal is not just to create jobs, but to create sustainable, inclusive employment that touches every part of Ghana. His address delivered a sense of readiness and responsibility that pointed to a shared vision for the future—one where government, Parliament, and the private sector operate in sync to improve livelihoods.
The assurance from Ayariga reinforces the importance of strong partnerships in national development and sends a clear message to investors and entrepreneurs that the government is serious about economic transformation. As the Kwahu Business Forum continues to spotlight innovative ideas and business leadership, the alignment between Parliament’s oversight role and the president’s development agenda stands as a promising foundation for tangible progress.
