We must prevent Kenyan-style protests in Ghana – Mahama

Flagbearer
of
the
National
Democratic
Congress
(NDC)
John
Mahama
has
emphasised
the
need
to
prevent
Ghanaians
from
replicating
recent
disturbances
in
Kenya.

For
the
past
few
days,
Kenyans
have
embarked
on
decentralised
mass
protests
against
tax
hikes
and
a
subsequent
demand
for
the
resignation
of
their
President,
William
Ruto.

While
criticising
the
Akufo-Addo-led
administration’s
perceived
mismanagement
of
the
economy,
John
Mahama
said
the
next
NDC
administration
will
create
numerous
opportunities,
especially
for
the
teeming
youth
population.

Speaking
during
a
working
visit
to
the
La
Dadekotopon
constituency
on
July
5,
Mahama
stated,
“They
say
Africa’s
population
is
youthful
and
it’s
important
to
have
a
youthful
population.
But
if
you
have
a
youthful
population
and
you’re
not
creating
opportunities
for
them,
then
it
can
become
a
timebomb.

“We
have
all
seen
what
is
happening
in
Kenya,
we
don’t
want
that
to
happen
in
Ghana.
And
so,
when
we
come,
things
are
going
to
be
different.
It’s
not
going
to
be
business
as
usual;
we
want
to
be
a
government
in
a
hurry
to
repair
the
mess
created
by
Bawumia
and
Akufo-Addo.

“The
people
of
Ghana
are
looking
at
NDC
to
come
and
rescue
them
from
the
hardships
in
which
they
have
been
plunged…We
will
do
things
that
will
turn
the
economy
around
as
quickly
as
possible.”
