The metering system is not effective and short-changing Ghanaians,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Emphasising the need for a shift in mindset, Mr Ayariga asserted that Ghanaians must take responsibility for building their own country.<\/p>\n<p>He highlighted the importance of transparency within the pres\u00adidency and the need to prioritise the interests of Ghanaian citizens and businesses in government policies.<\/p>\n<p>Among his ambitious policy proposals is the establishment of a national data system and the im\u00adplementation of a comprehensive national development plan.<\/p>\n<p>He also suggested the intro\u00adduction of an economic lockdown aimed at boosting local productiv\u00adity, addressing the urgent challeng\u00ades faced by various sectors.<\/p>\n<p>In a significant tax reform initiative, Mr Ayariga pledged to reduce the number of taxes from 32 to just five. He also promised to stabilise the Ghana cedi and increase the minimum daily wage from 18 to 300 cedis.<\/p>\n<p>To combat corruption, he proposed a two-week salary pay\u00adment cycle and the establishment of a free port policy allowing for duty-free importation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flagbearer of All People\u2019s Congress, Hassan Ayariga The presidential candi\u00addate for the All People\u2019s Congress (APC), Hassan Ayariga, has outlined his policy proposals during a meeting with the Ghana Union of Traders As\u00adsociations (GUTA) held in Accra on Tuesday.
