Mike Oquaye Jnr criticizes President Mahama's administration, citing unfulfilled promises and economic disappointment

Speaking on TV3's The Key Points on June 20, 2026, Oquaye Jnr expressed disappointment regarding the implementation of the government's 24-hour economy policy, a key campaign promise of the National Democratic Congress NDC aimed at boosting productivity and creating jobs. He argued that despite initiatives like constructing 24-hour markets, the broader vision of a transformative 24-hour economy has not materialized for ordinary Ghanaians. Oquaye Jnr also highlighted concerns among farmers, particularly cocoa and cashew producers, who he said are disappointed with developments in the agricultural sector.

He questioned the practicality of proposed interventions for cocoa farmers, such as irrigating cocoa with boreholes, and noted that cashew farmers are affected by declining produce values. He concluded by reiterating that the "honeymoon period is over" for the administration.
