The Young Democrats Congratulate His Excellency President John Mahama On His Excellent Performance At The Iea Evening Encounter

The Young Democrats (TYDE) wishes to congratulate His Excellency President John Mahama on his spectacular performance at the Evening Encounter at the Institute of Economic Affairs. Undoubtedly, President Mahama has demonstrated to Ghanaians that he is working for them. The encounter has revealed the true character of the President as humble, accessible, decisive and action driven. He has also demonstrated exceptional knowledge and understanding of issues confronting Ghanaians and how he is working for the people of Ghana.

President Mahama demonstrated clearly the need to adopt a holistic approach to governance by addressing the concerns of all sectors of the economy. It is instructive to note therefore that President Mahama has been able to reveal the unprecedented achievements of the NDC government under the Better Ghana Agenda and has clearly chatted the way forward on Advancing the Better Ghana Agenda by building a strong and resilient economy capable of creating and sustaining jobs, putting people first in health, education and social protection as well as ensuring transparent and accountable governance.
The Young Democrats (TYDE) wishes to draw the nation’s attention to three key issues which distinguish President Mahama’s vision from others.
President Mahama is committed to ensuring the attainment of Free Universal Basic Education. We live in a country where millions of children do not have access to basic education hence do not go to school. Others have to walk long distances to school and yet others have to cross rivers to school and in some cases get drowned in boat accidents. While doing this, President Mahama promises the construction of 200 Community Senior High Schools to accommodate more students, train more teachers and adequately motivate teachers and build one more university in the Eastern Region.
The vision to create jobs through the Gh¢ 10 million Youth Jobs and Enterprise Fund remains a key antidote to youth and graduate unemployment.
TYDE also commends President Mahama on his Energy for All Programme to end the perennial power supply and expand access to electricity which is good news to industry and the people of Ghana. We encourage Ghanaians to analyze these issues critically and vote for President Mahama come December 2012.
