We are our own worst enemies. We eschew such insightful experience because of politics. He goes to lead and teach students who are then recruited by the World Banks and IMFs of this world to turn round and dictate to us how to run our economies when their intelligence has come from one of our own.

What else would you characterize this if not witchcraft!

stop playing OKATAKYIE my friend most of these guys will run to Ghana with the speed of light and come and occupy positions here than do those jobs at the imf and other institutions.Why do you think countries like america China etc aren't rushing to employ these imf and world bank guys into top positions in their countries?its because they know no matter how knowledgeable the finance minister of central bank governor is, if you don't have a very disciplined and focused person as president to put all the other members of the government in check, nothing meaningful and significant would ever be achieved.when Abu jinapor as minister for lands and the minerals commission boss at the time said wontumi was engaged in illegal mining and Akuffo Addo came out to say wontumi wasn't doing any illegal mining, did you hear any of them ever talking about the wontumi issue again while akuffo addo was president?? That was simply because they were protecting their jobs.If you are governor of the bank of Ghana and the president who appointed you tells you the finance minister who is his cousin has told him you have the capacity to print some billions for him to run the economy with, will you be able to challenge him??..IF EVEN BAWUMIA WHO WAS VICE PRESIDENT SAYS HE WAS SIDELINED, HOW MUCH LESS A CENTRAL BANK GOVERNOR??

@Okatakyie. Your reasoning is very ridiculous. Because Ernesto the Destroyer Addison a.k.a. Demolition Man is a now fellow at Havard so everything he does or ever did and every idea of his can only be perfect, not so? Is Havard populated by angels? Is this not the same Demolition Man who served as Thief Ken's and Akufo Addo's Hatchet Man to destroy Ghanaian banks at cost that was several times the amount that was need to support those banks that were really having challenges? Is it not the evil Addison who collapsed a Ghanaian bank because the owner of that bank was facing charges of corruption in court and therefore deemed unfit to own a bank (though he had not been found guilty at the time; and was never found guilty)? Was it not the character, who as governor BoG, instigated and brought about a banking 'crisis' with his reckless and ill-intended pronouncements? He's now with Havard so what?

Typical loser talk. You will not even be qualified to gain admission to Havard. Fools like you sit on the Internet and belittle accomplished people. What work do you do, that is if you are employed. No well educated person or someone with a decent job and l8fe experience will come and make such ignorant comments. Like they say not every one who can write english has a brain. If you had ever studied and worked hard to get to Addison's position or any other BOG senoir position, you won't write the crap you have written.

it all started few years ago when i received a facebook message that a travel agency in Nigeria was recruiting Ghanaians and Nigerians for jobs in Canada, i sold everything i had and borrowed money from a lot of people and kept sending money to them for the travel to Canada, when i ran out of money to send to them, they invited me to Nigeria that my visa is ready, when i got to Nigeria they seized all the money i had on me and seized my phone and refused to give me my passport i posted to them earlier from Ghana, i was left stranded and resorted to sleeping under a bridge with some homeless people and was begging people during the day for help to go back to Ghana, police raided the place i was squatting after some days and arrested everybody there, they took us to court because hard drugs were found on some prostitutes and thugs squatting there, i was sentenced to 2 years in prison because i had no lawyer to defend me, i will finish serving my sentence in 3 months time and sent back to Ghana, my fellow Ghanaians please i need help of any amount of money so i can eat and treat myself, i have been sick and i have not eaten good food for sometime now, i don't want to die now my freedom is near, no amount of money is too small to help me with, i will appreciate any amount of money sent to me and God will bless and reward the sender abundantly, i can work for the sender when i return to Ghana in 3 months time to pay back, we manage to use smuggled phones here to beg people through facebook and other social media platforms, this is how most prisoners here survive because we are very desperate, the situation here is so terrible, horrible and pathetic, infact we are in hellfire here, people die everyday here from starvation and minor illnesses like malaria and ulcer, please i need help urgently, i need to eat good food and buy malaria drugs to treat myself, the food they serve us here is small portions of watery beans and jollof rice that can't satisfy a child, when an inmate is sick here and doesn't have money to buy drugs, the prison warders will ignore you until you die or recover without taken drugs, they may only give you paracetamol and antibiotics if you cry too much, but if you have money, the prison warders can buy for you good food and drugs from outside, i can be reached on WhatsApp via +2348140725576, this is my cellmate's number, some warders smuggle in phone for people here if you bribe them, i don't have a phone, when you chat, tell her you want to chat with Sandra so she can give the phone to me, please help make my story go viral so i can get help by posting my story and my cellmate's WhatsApp number: +2348140725576 on facebook and WhatsApp groups, please i need help, i'm suffering a lot here.

I THOUGHT THIS VICE-PRESIDENT WAS EDUCATED ENOUGH. SHE MUST LEARN FROM THE TAX-FREE GCC ARAB STATES.

EXPLOITATIVE TAXES ON GHANAIANS LIKE FOOLS STIFLES SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC GROWTH BECAUSE IT WIPES OUT THE DISPOSABLE LOW SLAVE INCOMES WE HAVE IN HOPELESS GHANA. IT ALSO REDUCES CONSUMER CONFIDENCE AND SPENDING TO GENERATE A HEALTHY SUSTAINABLE CIRCULAR FLOW OF LIQUIDITY IN ANY ECONOMIC SYSTEM LIKE GHANA'S.

GHANA IS RICHLY BLESSED AND ENDOWED WITH COUNTLESS VALUABLE NATURAL RESOURCES, SO PLANNED LEVERAGING ON THOSE NUMEROUS RESOURCES TO TAKE THE ADVANTAGES OF ECONOMIES OF SCALE BY HORIZONTAL AND/OR VERTICAL INTEGRATION (VALUE-ADDITION AND GLOBAL MARKETING INVESTMENTS) SHOULD BE THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF GHANA'S LAZY "COPY AND PASTE" LEADERS WHO ALWAYS TARGET EASY CASH INFLOWS LIKE BEGGING FOR LOANS AND EXPLOITATIVE SENSELESS ARBITRARY TAXATION AND OTHER STATUTORY LEVIES, NONE OF WHICH HAS GOT GHANA'S ECONOMY ANYWHERE SINCE 1957.

FOOLISHLY COPYING HIGH OUTPUT WEALTHY WESTERN ECONOMIC MODELS WITH STRONG CONVERTIBLE CURRENCIES AND EXPLOITATIVE TAX SYSTEMS DOES NO ONE IN GHANA ANY FCUKING GOOD.

TOTALLY GETTING RID OF LEAKAGES, AMONG MANY OTHERS, IS THE SIMPLE COMMONSENSE WAY TO GO, AND THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE A PHD IN FISCAL ECONOMICS AND ROCKET SCIENCE TO REALIZE THIS PLAIN FACT.

Why didn't Addison turn Ghana's economy around when he was at the BoG? We at the junk status between 2017-2025. What is he going to teach there? Azaaa nkoaa.
