This policy, he argues, will provide immediate relief to struggling households while stimulating consumer spending.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/284b9f9b6bc44ac4b78ec21f4f6541aa\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Mahama\u2019s agenda emphasizes accountability and transparency in governance.

Mahama aims to accelerate infrastructure projects, with a focus on improving roads, healthcare, and education. <\/p>\n<p>He has pledged to complete stalled projects under the \u201cE-Komputer\u201d initiative to provide every public school with functional ICT facilities. <\/p>\n<p>In healthcare, he plans to expand the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) to cover a broader range of diseases and ensure timely payments to service providers.<\/p>\n<p>Social welfare is another priority. Mahama has outlined plans to establish a National Housing Scheme targeting low-income earners and implement a pension scheme for informal sector workers.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/ffcf2795ef5c45b2bd57e0f33e049066\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Recognizing the importance of regional stability, Mahama has pledged to collaborate with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to address security threats.
