In a comprehensive address, the Vice President of Ghana reaffirmed the government’s commitment to media freedom, democratic principles, and economic reforms, while also tackling recent criticisms from the opposition.

Speaking at a media event, the Vice President highlighted the crucial role of a free press in maintaining Ghana’s democratic framework.

“Media freedom is pivotal for the democratic exercise we are embarked on. A lack of media freedom is characteristic of more dictatorial societies. Ghana’s media is vibrant, and I am deeply committed to ensuring that it remains so,” he stated.

The Vice President also addressed concerns over the potential sale of state-owned media, clarifying that no such proposals have been brought before the Cabinet.

He emphasized that any decision of that magnitude would require thorough justification and extensive consultation.

In response to recent remarks by a former president, the Vice President defended the current administration’s economic management, contrasting it with the previous government’s record.

He cited the creation of over 2.1 million jobs, significant infrastructure development, and improved healthcare services as evidence of the administration’s successes.

“If our so-called mismanaged economy is outperforming theirs in every sector, what does that say about their governance?” he questioned.

The Vice President also outlined plans to introduce 100 electric buses as part of a broader initiative to reduce the cost of living and promote green energy.

He mentioned ongoing efforts to establish charging stations for these buses and reiterated the government’s goal of adding 2,000 megawatts of solar power in the next four years.

The Vice President concluded by emphasizing the administration’s commitment to job creation, particularly for young people, through policies that support local businesses.

He expressed confidence that these measures would lead to sustainable economic growth and improved livelihoods for all Ghanaians.
