President Mahama has said Ghana\u2019s development has not stalled despite the economic challenges the country is experiencing.<\/p>\n
Speaking after inspecting a road in Sekondi-Takoradi in the Western Region, President Mahama said \u201cwe are constructing roads , we are extending electricity, we are provding people with clean drinking water, we are building bridges, we are extending the ports, Ghana is growing, we are not going back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Government\u00a0has come under criticism for failing to tackle the rising cost of living, the budget deficit and the depreciation of the Cedi.<\/p>\n
But the President believes his economic advisory group will put in place measures to halt the decline of the economy.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are going to overcome the economic challenges. We have a presidential advisory group on the economy. That is my think tank that is working with me to turn this economic challenge around. The cedi will stabilize, inflation will come down and Ghana will become the shining black star of Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n
President Mahama further announced plans of constructing a 75 kilometre road\u00a0 for residents in the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the 20 kilometre road project is done, we are going to award another 75 kilometers of roads , that will be phase two and after phase two, we will award another 25 kilometers,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
