ADEPA NA ETON NEHO. U CAN'T FORCE PEOPLE TO SPEND THEIR MONEY ON GHANA GOODS IF THEY ARE SUBSTANDARD. ENCOURAGE OUR PRODUCERS TO PRODUCE GOOD GOODS FIRST. WE CAN EVEN EXPORT THEM IF THEY ARE GOOD.

DR. BAWUMIA:-----------
“In the last six years, the NDC has borrowed US$27 billion. Before that, we, the NPP, borrowed a total of US$5.5 billion in eight years. Compare that to the NDC borrowing $27 billion in six years and ask yourself what they have done with all that money,” the running mate to Nana Akufo-Addo said.

He said, though a lot more money has been spent, it is a paradox of economic management that this level of excessive spending has only led to greater hardships being visited on the people.

“NDC inherited a public debt stock of GHS9.5 billion in 2009,” the former Deputy Governor of the central bank said. “Today, Ghana’s debt has gone up to GHS65.7 billion. So when I say the stakes are high I am talking about the destiny of our country, Ghana, the future of the youth.”

“The NDC has been taxing everything, including condoms and cutlasses. In terms of resources, this NDC government has had more resources than any other government. We did not have oil. Yet, Ghanaians know what we did with the limited resources we had. We spent money responsibly to create the NHIS, introduce Capitation Grant, expand access to education, we spent wisely on infrastructure and built more roads than any other government,” he said.

Best idea so far on this discussion. Cities across the US are switching over to the installation of solar panels to power street lights, traffic lights, parking meters and other public utilities. Our engineers must be more innovative and adopt GREEN technology solutions.

Have you forgotten the MADE IN CHINA chairs purchased by parliament? When people at the top don't practice what they preach, who will take them serious? You guys send your children to foreign schools, seek foreign medical care, wear foreign clothes, import foreign furniture for your homes and offices, even import drinking water etc ; but have the guts to tell the ordinary folks to consume MADE-IN-GHANA goods. Tell the President and his cohorts to stop importing rice and other foodstuffs to appease their borrowers. Ghanaians are wise enough to patronize what we produce but the government does not help. Do you know the quantities of foodstuffs that go wasted every year due to lack of storage facilities in the country? Take tomatoes, oranges, pineapples, mangoes, plantains and the likes for example. Didn't your Rawlings tell Ghanaians not to buy APINO SOAP just because Mr. Appiah-Menka was his political opponent? Didn't he import cement even though GHACEM had cement in abundance? Didn't he sell all the factories and industries to his cronies and imported everything? Mr. Man, please, advise yourself and the so-called top people before you come here to buzz in our ears. Do you hear me?

This government and their spokespersons just parrot mahama in attempts to deceive and lie to the people but it will not work. Prepare to be investigated and jailed after 2016 for your crooked dealings and highway robbery of Ghana; buying chinese chairs for your 15% cut while telling ghanaians to buy local products; that's what i call leading by example!

Even the illiterate Kutu Acheampong knew that. This banal call includes patronizing our local schools. And yet these screaming idiots, including Jerry Rawlings, send all their children to schools in Europe, China or the United States for courses that are taught in Ghana. That is after they destroyed the educational system in the country. Doesn't that also put pressure on the local currency? If they can look for the best schools for their children, what prevents other Ghanaians from seeking the best products around the world for their families?

Why didn't you purchase Ghana-made furniture for parliament house, but turn around to tell us garbage? Please get lost with this kind of crap before people get angry. We're sick and tired of this bullshit!
