Former President John Dramani Mahama, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the People’s National Convention (PNC) have urged Ghanaian workers to remain resolute in their work in order to speed up development.
In separate goodwill messages to mark May Day last Saturday, the two political parties acknowledged the challenges confronting workers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and economic difficulties.
The separate messages were signed by the general secretaries of the NDC, Mr Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, while that of the PNC was signed by Ms Janet Asana Nabla.
Criticisms
In his May Day message, former President Mahama criticised the government for what he described as worsening the plight of the citizenry with the introduction of new taxes.

“On this May Day 2021, with hardship set to worsen, I call on His Excellency President Nana Akufo-Addo to stretch a hand of cooperation to all Ghanaians, able to play a role in rescuing our dear nation from the abyss it is falling,” Mahama wrote.
“On this occasion of May Day, as I salute the suffering workers of Ghana and all Ghanaians, let me also take the opportunity to wish the President, Nana Akufo-Addo, well and urge him to take the measures needed to bring relief to suffering Ghanaians.” This follows the introduction of some new taxes, which has further made the cost of living in Ghana high.
