A 120-day social contract task group was established by President John Dramani Mahama with the duty of overseeing and guaranteeing the fulfillment of these social commitments during his first 120 days in office.
Tuesday, February 11th, saw the official inauguration of the 19-member task force at the Jubilee House.
The president called on the task force members to put in a lot of effort to make sure that his pledges during his first 120 days in office are kept.
He said during the task force’s first meeting that most of its members are ministers, who were chosen for the position because many of the commitments directly relate to their responsibilities.
