Cut down on the use of convoy carsPresident Akufo-Addo in 2018 caused a stir when he announced that he would cut short the number of cars that follow him on his nationwide tours. According to Akufo-Addo, the directive was in line with a new clampdown on extravagance on government appointees from the president. Akufo-Addo said the policies and programmes being implemented by the government were aimed at building a self-sustaining economy without external support. President Akufo-Addo while on a tour in the Western Region said the John Mahama government did nothing to boost cocoa production while in office. The NDC in a rebuttal maintained that it will correct the bottlenecks confronting the smooth implementation of the Free SHS programme.
