  A step in the right direction to curb revenu leakage. But the government must clamb down on nation reckers who smugles the proceeds of their business out of the country without paying tax or investing it in the local economy. How do they expect good roads and utilities if they simply milk Ghanaians out of their money and ship it elsewhere to be used by other countries?
  The country will not benefit from direct foreign investment if all the profits are repariated with non of it invested in the local infrastructure which they use heavily. roads, hospitals, schools and utilities are used heavily by these multinationals, yet non of them will invest their profits into these facilities.

  5.BRING IN FOREIGN INVESTORS TO BUILD SOPHISTICATED supply chains in operations Like autos and auto parts, electronics, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, chemicals, petrochemicals.
  WE HAVE SO MANY MIDDLE AND HIGH SKILLED WORKERS, UNEMPLOYED GRADUATES IN GH WHO DONT KNOW HOW TO THINK. THEY WANT MUNDANE JOBS.
  PRES. MAHAMA UPGRADE YOUR INVESTMENT PROMOTION AGENCY OFFICES IN EACH REGION IN GH. THESE IPA'S WILL SERVE AS marketing agencies to try and go out and attract higher skilled,
  more sophisticated investors AND BRING THEM INTO GH. SEND GOVT REPS FROM THESE IPA OFFICES TO THESE CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS AND POUND ON THEIR DOORS. DONT WASTE THE NATION'S RESOURCES BY GOING
  ON CNN...THATS A WASTE OF MONEY! WE NEED FACTORIES IN GH. INTEL, CAR MANUFACTURING COMPANIES, ETC ARE ALL AVAILABLE. WE ALREADY HAVE TNS OF NATURAL RESOURCES IN GH!
  IN MY BOOK, YOU EITHER DO IT RIGHT. OR YOU GET ELIMINATED.
