Retired Commissioner of Police (COP), George Alex Mensah, says that the nation is not prepared for a grace period before its economic challenges are addressed. <\/p>\n

According to him, former President John Mahama\u2019s request for a grace period to settle down if he assumes the presidency after winning the December 7 general elections means he lacks a concrete policy to address the country\u2019s economic challenges.<\/p>\n

In an interview with\u00a0JoyNews<\/strong>\u2019 Nana Boakye Yiadom, the retired COP, who is vying for the Bekwai constituency parliamentary seat on the NPP ticket said the \u201choneymoon\u201d period requested by Mr Mahama reflects a lack of commitment to advancing the country\u2019s development.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He, therefore, questioned Mr. Mahama\u2019s intention behind seeking a \u2018honeymoon\u2019 period, emphasising that in case he is granted a two-year grace period, he would have only two years to govern the country, with the subsequent year being an election year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not ready for a honeymoon, we are not ready. The country is not ready for a honeymoon. We are moving on,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n

COP Mensah emphasised that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer for the 2024 general elections is not prepared to restore the country to its previous state.<\/p>\n
