Professor Isaac Boadi, Dean of the Faculty of Accounting and Finance at the University of Professional Studies, has voiced concerns over the performance of President John Dramani Mahama’s administration under its 120-day social contract.
He expressed skepticism about the administration’s Resetting Ghana Agenda, calling it into question during an appearance on the Asaase Breakfast Show on Thursday, May 8.
While acknowledging that some progress had been made, Professor Boadi criticized the government’s self-assessment of its achievements.
“Yes, some gains have been made, but our independent assessment shows a very different picture — just about 36.12% of the promises have been substantively fulfilled,” Boadi stated.
He emphasized that the Resetting Agenda, which was expected to bring transformative reforms, seemed to have stalled even before it fully took off.
“The Resetting Agenda has stalled before takeoff. That raises doubts about not just the readiness but the competence to deliver on transformative reforms,” he added.
The professor further questioned the administration’s claim of a 72% success rate, suggesting that it lacked the independent scrutiny needed for a clear evaluation.
“There must be independent scrutiny, not self-assessment,” he said, calling for a more objective analysis of the administration’s accomplishments.
