President Mahama Touts Fulfilled Promises In First 120 Days, Highlights Tax Reforms And Governance Efficiency
President John Dramani Mahama has declared that his government has delivered on the key promises made at the start of his administration, citing significant policy rollbacks and institutional reforms within the first 120 days in office.
In a national address on Wednesday, May 7, the President outlined a number of interventions implemented since assuming power, which he says signal a renewed commitment to accountability, transparency, and inclusive governance.
Top among the achievements was the cancellation of the controversial betting tax and the complete abolition of the Electronic Transfer Levy (E-levy), a tax that had drawn widespread public criticism for its impact on digital financial transactions.
These measures, the President noted, were part of broader efforts to reduce the tax burden on ordinary Ghanaians and encourage a more inclusive economy.
“We made promises and we have kept them. Our first 120 days have been defined by decisive action, commitment to transparency, and a relentless focus on laying the foundation for building the Ghana we want — a just, prosperous and united Ghana,” President Mahama stated.
Other milestones highlighted in the address included the introduction of a Code of Conduct for political appointees aimed at promoting ethical leadership and restoring public trust in government. He also reiterated his administration’s resolve to run a lean and efficient government, signaling increased scrutiny of public expenditure.
The 120-days Social Contract was a key component of President Mahama’s electoral pledge to restore confidence in public administration through measurable and time-bound governance targets.
