Mahama, Rawlings and Kufuor to grace Nana Addo's State of the Nation Address

Former Presidents, John Mahama, Jerry John Rawlings and John Agyekum Kufuor, will be present in Parliament to grace President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addos first State of the Nation Address,

The event will be attended by Justices of the Supreme Court, members of the diplomatic corps and traditional leaders among others.

The President is expected to touch on how he is going to bring into fruition the various promises he made during the electioneering period.

Ahead of his presentation, some analysts in the business environment say they would want the president to lay out a detailed plan to stabilise the economy.

His speech will mainly center on the economy, health, education and other sectors.

Ghana’s education, particularly, the Free senior High School policy which is expected to begin in September this year has been a major topic in the country, especially with the source of funding for the policy.

For Dr Prince Armah, the Executive Director for the Institute for Education Studies, the president must clarify how the free SHS policy will be funded.

The Corporate Affairs Manager of the Finatrade Group, Mr John Awuni has told Pulse.com.gh,"We expect that the state of the nation address will make clearer the vision for the first 2017 and particularly for the business environment. And also essentially the strategy in terms of stabilising the currency which is a major worry now. It appears that it is difficult to begin to budget very well in the country now because you cannot predict the behaviour of the currency in a next week or so. So we are expecting that a vision will be laid down clearly and an outline of what measures they will take to stabilise basically the economy".

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has extolled the democratic virtues of former President John Mahama saying his contribution to the country's democracy will forever be cherished.

Nana Akufo-Addo speaking at an event to mark his investiture as President paid glowing tribute to the country's former leaders and living ex-Presidents: Jerry John Rawlings, John Kufuor, and John Mahama.
