We didn’t make any promises for 100 days – Bawumia
Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia says although they are poised to fulfil all their promises, the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) did not pledge to fulfil them within 100 days in government.
He says they have been able to record 103 remarkable achievement since taking over from the previous National Democratic Congress (NDC) government.
Government has upped the country’s foreign reserve from less than $6 billion to $8 billion, he said. “This is the achievement and with that you have a lot more confidence in the economy and you see stability return to the currency.”
