US-based vlogger and journalist, Kevin Taylor, has chided Akosua Asaa Manu, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate for the Adentan Constituency, over her interpretation of the 24-hour economy policy suggested by the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama.
In a post on Facebook, Akosua Manu noted that under the 24-hour economy, the wage that was ordinarily given to one worker will be split by three people to share due to additional hands.
She wrote, “According to the umbrella gangs shift system there are infinite possibilities when it comes to the hours you can do. They fail to add, I however believe its intentional, what you can earn…”
“For eg. If your salary is 1500 cedis and you now have to share with 2 others. Your take home will be how much? The correct answer gets 3 umbrellas and 2 dressed guinea fowls. You also get a heavily used car that was given to some influencers in 2016. We will change the car tyres for you. Have a fantastic day.”
Reacting to this, Kevin Taylor expressed disappointment in Akosua Manu, noting that such an interpretation signals that she is not fit to become a Member of Parliament.
“Her understanding of shift system is that when 3 people do the same job their salaries will be SHARED herhhhh Ghana paaaa all these political hand bags want to enter parliament,” he wrote in a post on X.

A 24-hour economy refers to an economic system where businesses, services, and activities operate continuously throughout the day and night, without interruption.
In such an economy, various sectors, including retail, transportation, entertainment, hospitality, and public services, remain open and accessible around the clock, catering to the needs of consumers at any time.
Mr Mahama, speaking at the 9th Ghana CEO Network Business Cocktail, reiterated that the 24-hour economy policy is a game-changer due to careful consideration.
He pledged that a potential NDC administration would actively pursue projects and programs to transition Ghana into a fully-fledged 24-hour economy by optimizing existing resources.
Mahama outlined that the 24-hour economy aligns with the NDC’s vision to build the desired Ghana, focusing on creating an industrialized, inclusive, and resilient economy with well-paying jobs. The vision also includes developing safe communities, protecting the natural environment, building effective institutions, and enhancing Ghana’s role in African and international affairs.
