Building The Ghana We Want.
In an event hosted by Former President John Mahama in Accra yesterday, he outlined the numerous measures that can be put in place as a matter of urgency to save Ghana's economy.
Notable amongst these solutions are;
Suspension of non- essential projects.
A greater transparency in public procurement.
Re- visit operation feed yourself.
Leveraging the energy and petroleum sector.
Government must stop collateralizing statutory funds for the purposes of taking in more loans.
Together we stand, divided we fall. With this school of thought at the center of his presentation, the visionary leader called on the entire citizenry to help save mother Ghana's collapsed economy.
"while responsibility for the difficulties we face lie with Akuffo Addo and Bawumia's government, there are things we can do as citizens in our own small way to minimize the suffering we are going through and help government turn the situation around" he said.
According to him, as citizens;
we need to acquire and sustain a taste and preference for locally manufactured products.
Cut down on non- essential foreign travel and expensive foreign products in our homes.
" let us consciously eat more of our local foods like yam,local grains like maize and rice, cassava, beans local fruits and vegetables" he added. He gave the "GobÉ› Eaters Association" a thumbs up for "eating" Ghana. This way we reduce the pressure on our own currency and boost domestic production to create a win-win situation.
The people's manifesto of NDC in 2020 has these policy proposals and more and the NPP government is free to adopt it for the general good of Ghana.
We are in crisis! In building the Ghana we want,we must all put our heads together.Our very lives as a people are at stake.
"We must boldly,even if for the first time,discard the arrogance of power and don the cloak of humility,come together,confront our reality,face the truth,accept our fault and act" he said.
God bless our homeland Ghana and make her great and strong!
