Dr Osei Kwame Despite should have been the No.1 name on the list. It's not too late for Mahama to invite him to the group.

Incomplete and discriminatory. Why only book long people? No woman from Makola Women traders, no farmer from any farmers group, no member from the GPRTU, no member from organized labour, no member from importers and exporters, no member from the miners not to talk about small scale miners etc,etc. Apart from BIG ENGLISH and FAT SITTING ALOWANCES IN COSTLY HOTELS what will come from these so called experts? Or a planned strategy to shift blame in the event the EMT fails? An unnecesssary duplication at best. Ghanaians must watch out, yesterday it was CSO, THE CLERGY and today EXPERT ECONOMIST.

If the economy is doing well as you claim, why do you need all these people?? Waste of taxpayers money. Sam Jona doesn't care a hoot about the Ghanaian economy. He invested all his money in other African countries, including Nigeria and South Africa. He needed the intervention of the Ghana foreign ministry of Ghana to salvage his investments in Nigeria recently. How do you need someone like that to build an economy he was running away from??

You don't need a group of wise elders. Ghana should have had the same living standard as Sweden. It will actually happen by itself if you:

1) Stop the theft. Even if the NPP was worse, the current administration is unfortunately also corrupt from bottom to top. The economy goes nowhere until the steal stops.

2) Encourage exports. In 1980, Nigeria and South Korea had the same living standard. South Korea has become rich by exporting. If you want to export, the cedi must be cheaper.

3) Trade is free wealth. We all get better off with trade, both import and export, but our harbours are almost blocked by corruption. Get the thieves out, implement systems that make it harder to steal and/or obstruct the flow of goods.

The number in addition to advisers at the finance ministry is too large and discussions and conclusions mostly lead to analysis paralysis.

These are Jobs for greedy old men. we are in 2026 and what these guys will do for Ghana. they should retire and give opportunity to talented young men. For example, the finance minister is young and Ghanaians can see the result. Sam Jonah should show an essential thing he did when he was in Obuasi goldfield apart from corruption

MAHAMA PAA DEE I REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND HIS THINKING. IN THIS AI AGE, OF WHAT USE ARE YAMSON, JONAH, CORRUPT DUFFOUR BRAINS GOING TO DO FOR GHANA.... THEIR TIME LAPSED MORE THAN 30 YEARS AGO. AS FOR YAMSON HE COULDN'T EVEN DELIVER LEVER BROS AND HE EXITED AS A FAILED MD, PIANIM IS JUST A TALKATIVE. EVERY ADMINISTRATION HAS USED HIM STILL..... SAM JONAH SIMPLE OPPORTUNIST WHO WILL NOT INTRODUCE ANYTHING. I WONDER WHY MAHAMA THINKS THESE ARE THE MEN WHEN THERE ARE WIZKIDS THERE WHO WILL DRAMATIZE OUR ECONOMY. WHAT GHANA NEEDS IS DISCIPLINED LEADERSHIP NOT THESE 80YEAR OLDS WITH CAKED BRAINS JUST BIDDING THEIR END TIMES. BUT OF THE PEOPLE WHY DUFFOUR? SOMEBODY WHO CONVERTED MONEY MEANT TO SHORE A BANK. MAHAMA, DO YOU VISIT GHANAIANS WITH SUCH INDISCRETIONS. AMAZING!! !! !
