The Dorma West Member of Parliament (MP), Hon. Vicent Oppong Asamoah, has scored President Mahama high marks for his first 100 days in office.
He said President Mahama has through resilience helped the country to record significant progress in all of its sectors despite agitations from the labour front, power and water outages, gas shortages coupled with court issues.
According to the MP, those improvements had been due to the president’s bold steps in setting high targets for himself and seeing to it that those targets were met in areas such as energy, water, among others.
“President Mahama has remained resolute to achieving his set targets amidst fierce hindrances,” he added.
Although he believes 100 days was too short a time to access the performance of any government, Mr. Asamoah scored the president 80 per cent for sailing through successfully.
In an interaction with Ghanamps.gov.gh, Hon. Asamoah intimated his hope that President Mahama would make Ghana proud through persistence and hard work.
On policies to move the country forward, he said Ghana has had considerably good policy document over the years, but maintains that the implementation of such policies had been our major problem hence calling on government to hold sector ministers and stakeholders accountable.
“The government must hold its ministers to their task in order to implement such policy documents for the benefit of the country as a whole,” he added.
