John Dumelo, a renowned actor and farmer, expressed his support for former President John Mahama’s proposed 24-hour economy during an interview on Starr Chat with Bola Ray.
He emphasized that such an economy would be beneficial for companies to meet deadlines for job deliveries more efficiently.
Dumelo criticized the “one district, one factory” initiative, calling it a hoax, and contrasted it with the potential success of the 24-hour economy proposal.
He believes that the implementation of a 24-hour economy would create job opportunities for millions of people across Ghana.
Drawing from his experience as a farmer, Dumelo highlighted the advantages of a 24-hour economy in agriculture.
He explained how it would streamline the production process, enabling continuous operations such as harvesting, processing, and packaging without being constrained by traditional working hours.
By adopting shifts, farms could meet high demand and fulfill orders promptly, contributing to increased productivity and economic growth.
Overall, Dumelo who is the Parliamentary Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency in the Greater Accra region expressed confidence in the feasibility and benefits of a 24-hour economy for Ghana, particularly in industries like agriculture where continuous operations could lead to significant efficiency gains.
