The Majority Leader in Parliament, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has appealed to the Minority to exercise restraint and allow President John Mahama’s newly sworn-in government the space to govern effectively.
Addressing a press conference in Parliament on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, Dr. Forson urged the opposition to engage constructively rather than resorting to premature criticism of the administration, which is less than two weeks old.
“The Mahama administration is barely two weeks old, yet it has already been inundated with unwarranted attacks from the Minority. I appeal to our colleagues on the other side to grant the government the necessary breathing space to steer the affairs of this country. Let us work together to build a better Ghana,” Dr. Forson said.
The Majority Leader highlighted the government’s clear vision for addressing national challenges, particularly in the areas of economic recovery and social cohesion. He stressed that while dissent is a cornerstone of democracy, it must be constructive and not undermine governance.
“The government has laid out a comprehensive roadmap to address the economic and social issues confronting our nation. Let us allow it to implement its policies without undue interference,” he stated.
Dr. Forson emphasized the need for cooperation among all political stakeholders, underscoring that national development should remain a collective priority. He assured Ghanaians that President Mahama’s administration is fully committed to delivering on its mandate and meeting the aspirations of the citizenry.
Dr. Forson also expressed confidence in the government’s ability to fulfill its promises and urged both the Minority and the general public to support the administration in advancing the nation’s progress.
