The Member of Parliament for North Dayi, George Loh has said he does not the least envy President John Mahama as his first 100 days in office has been plagued with a lot of challenges which arguably has never been experienced in the life of a new government in Ghana’s political history.

He said President Mahama has not seen any peace as even before he could be sworn in, the opposition New Patriotic Party begun troubling him by challenging his legitimacy at the Supreme Court.

Contributing to a discussion on President Mahama’s first 100 days in office on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana show on Monday, Hon. George Loh stated that though the country has witnessed a lot of social agitation in the form of labour unrest and power crises, President Mahama has remained resolute and has efficiently steered the affairs of the country, a feat that is worthy of commendation.

“In spite of all these challenges, the president has not been distracted but has shown the strongman that he is and has managed to form his cabinet to help him govern the country’’ he said.

He said though some people have issues with the way the President shuffled his Regional Ministers to serve in regions they do not come from, he was of the view that that move was positive and will further knit us together as one people.

Hon. George Loh noted that despite that fact that the citizens have not been generally happy with the status quo, the President has managed to get the masses on board in the governance exercise and has comported himself remarkably on both the local and international scenes.

He encouraged Ghanaians to continue reposing their trust in President Mahama as he is poised to improve the living conditions of all citizens by introducing and implementing policies that will yield positive results.
