Sources: 4. Developments: 2. In Ghana, officials and industry representatives have raised concerns regarding the government’s 24-hour economy strategy. Duncan Amoah, Executive Secretary of the Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC), argued that constructing new markets with public funds is ineffective for changing social behaviors. He suggested the government prioritize ‘enabling conditions for night-time commerce,’ such as improved street lighting, increased police presence, and incentives for businesses like pharmacies and retail shops to operate at night. In Guyana, Opposition MP Sherod Duncan called for the resignation of Public Works Minister Juan Edghill. This demand follows a visit to the Port Kaituma stelling, a G$1.4 billion project that has remained unfinished despite deadlines being pushed back from late 2023 to 2026. Duncan noted that the delay has left residents dependent on aging vessels and cited concerns regarding engineering supervision and planning. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-23: Government infrastructure and economic strategies face criticism in Ghana and Guyana Political leaders in Ghana and Guyana are criticizing government infrastructure strategies, focusing on the efficacy of 24-hour economy markets and the prolonged delays of the Port Kaituma stelling. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/government-infrastructure-and-economic-strategies-face-criticism-in-ghana-and-guyana ### 2026-08-16: Cayman Islands approves forest protection and highway extension; Ghana criticizes economic policy The Cayman Islands Cabinet approved Ironwood Forest protection and a highway extension, while in Ghana, Andrews Bediako criticized the NDC’s market construction plans under its 24-hour economy policy. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/cayman-islands-approves-forest-protection-and-highway-extension-ghana-criticizes-economic-policy --- Cite as: Infrastructure and economic policy criticism in Ghana and GU.
