Dennis Miracles Aboagye, Director of Communications for the Bawumia 2024 Campaign, has taken aim at the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), accusing them of quietly abandoning their much-touted "1-3-3" employment model. 

The proposal, which formed part of the NDC’s campaign for a 24-hour economy, promised to create jobs by allowing three individuals to share one position in a shift-based system. 

However, according to Aboagye, a thorough review of the NDC’s recently released Economic Transformation Document shows no mention of this initiative.

Speaking in an interview with Channel One TV, Mr Aboagye argued that what the NDC has now presented to Ghanaians is a diluted version of their original promise. 

“They now speak of 1.7 million jobs by 2028, but these are just regular jobs—not the revolutionary shift-based employment they campaigned on,” he wrote. 

He also cited the document’s projection of a 12% unemployment rate by 2028 as further evidence that the party’s earlier rhetoric on job creation was exaggerated and unrealistic.

Mr Aboagye was particularly scathing in his assessment of the NDC’s broader 24-hour economy agenda, labelling it a "scam" that has failed to deliver. 

He claimed the party promised 24-hour operation across sectors including public services, businesses, and even nightclubs, but these bold commitments are largely absent from the policy document. 

Moreover, he criticised the proposed incentives—such as limited tax rebates for businesses adopting shift work—as insufficient to stimulate the round-the-clock economic activity initially promised.

Concluding his critique, Mr Aboagye accused the NDC of repackaging aspects of the existing Ghana Beyond Aid Charter and presenting it as a new strategy. 

He warned that the NDC’s plan would lead to more borrowing and national debt, while Ghanaians continue to grapple with unemployment and economic uncertainty. 

“Ghanaians were sold a dream, but the NDC is delivering a scam,” he declared, urging the public to hold the party accountable for what he described as deceptive campaign promises.
