China - Japan will not fail Ghana-Mr. Dan Markin

Following the recent state visits by President Mills to China and Japan, board

chairman of the Ghana Railway Development Authority (GRDA) Dan Markin says those


visits will yield positive results of accelerating the better Ghana schedule.


He said the expression of commitments by both China and Japan to help transform


Ghana’s infrastructure and improve the lives of her people are no fluke.





According to Mr. Dan Markin the government of Ghana has started the process


which will ensure that the over thirteen billion dollar loans, grants and other


agreements which were signed are assessed as quickly as possible to hasten the


country’s developmental agenda.

Speaking to Gold News in Accra, the board chairman of the Ghana Railway


Development Authority (GRDA) said that ‘’China and Japan are reliable partners


in development’’ and also expressed hope that the two countries will not


disappoint Ghanaians. Mr. Dan Markin said.


He said, the good works of the President Mills led government had won Ghana a


lot of investors who had expressed their desire to come and invest in Ghana’s


economy, adding that ‘’the direct investment by both Chinese and Japanese


businessmen in the country could surpass the loans that were signed’’ Dan Markin

stated.


He stressed that the success story from China and Japan is a clear indication of


the fact that ‘’God has been good to Ghana and the President’s good work is


being appreciated all over the world’’ Dan Markin Noted


On whether the commitments made by the Asian countries are realistic or not, he


said ‘’I have no doubts at all that the money promised will be assessed, and the


two countries being Ghana’s reliable development partners will not disappoint


Ghana’’ he said.


‘’the two countries will follow due process to ensure the monies are assessed,

definitely we are going to have the money-Ghana had put in place an


implementation committee which the President will champion to ensure monies are


used for the objective purpose’’ Mr. Markin submitted.


Dan Markin who was part of the President’s delegation to both countries sighted


that, since both countries had helped other economies Ghana can be ‘’sure’’ that


they will deliver. He said ‘’they no they can’t be playing games with these


agreements. They keep to their promise and their words are their bond. Mr Markin


said.


He explained that Ghana did not sign those agreements with just some companies

but banks belonging to the states of China with both Presidents witnessing.


He described the pledges and the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which were


signed as biggest investment opportunity that ‘’Ghana had ever had’’.
