  This govt just does not have the know-how to deliver on what AGI is asking for, period. Vote wisely come 2016.

  Selfishness in a common bond or character trait that is global. In western industrialized nations the respective business communities seek concessions from government at the expense of all other citizens, create slave/master relation between the workforce that produce the wealth and the owners to a point where while workers struggle to pay their bills, the owners spend their profits chasing after women and or spending lavishly even as their workers get on government assistance programs to make ends meet.
  Here in Ghana the government is not generating enough revenues to meet expenditures and yet businesses seek government concessions to further reduce government revenue intake. So just as government is forced to seek loans on the international market so it is that Ghana's businesses worth a hill of beans could seek loans if there are valid documented and historical financial data to support their loan application. How has most in the Ghana business community shown themselves to be good citizens and neighbors in the communities they operate? In typical fashion most of Ghana's business men and women prefer to ride in some of the most expensive cars around even while their businesses do need expansion or organizational facelifts to ensure survival. Instead they look to government and banks form bailout. It’s been reported that most of America's really rich people are more likely to own and drive a pickup truck and or reasonably prized vehicles because they understand how to use their money to make even more money. Let Ghana's business community live reasonable lives, grow their businesses while creating jobs for the unemployed and then they can live their dream lives when there is business sustainability. Until then let us not ask government for concessions and yet hide our riches when we get really rich and or seek ways not to pay our fair share of taxes.
