Reacting to the manifesto of the party, Ghanaian businessman General Matheen observed that the promises outlined in the manifesto are business-friendly. General Matheen stated that the abolishing of taxes will improve the general Ghanaian business landscape and open doors for businesses.

'I have seen the manifesto and the promises are great for businesses. The promise to remove taxes will enable businesses to grow and also help the public because I think we are being overburdened with taxes. 'The NDC has always been for Ghanaian businesses and it's telling in their manifesto. Businesses will boom when the party comes, so I urge all Ghanaians to trust the NDC,' he said. Source: Ghana Web
