Reset Ghana Agenda has not virtually impacted on the lives of Ghanaians who are currently grappling with unprecedented levels of poverty and hunger.

He specifically referenced the Reset agenda’s promise to end illegal mining (galamsey) and retrieval of stolen funds and questioned the outcome of such assurances given to the people.im 20024.
Through the Reset policy they promised to end galamsey and use policies to retrieve stolen funds, hisKodie remarked.
