Mr. Smith, that is not true. The best destination even in our West African sub region is Cote D'Ivoire. Don't underestimate the knowledge of these investors about Ghana. They know Ghana like the back of their hands. They know about our corruption index, armed robbery and Dumsor as well as our poor water supply system. Our road system is not something good to write home about. These are what Mahama and whoever wins the November election has to tackle immediately to make Ghana appealing to investors.

Do not be cursed by lying to please Satan!

A Whole MP who is a law maker was easily murdered and how much more the ordinary persons in society?

Some people appear to curse themselves with lies that do not please God. Among the 10 commandment is "You shall not lie". Keep lying for political interest of benefits and wait to see the wrath of God coming to hit you or your loved ones. I hate lies and not people because it is the most destructive weapon of the devil in our society.

My own uncle whom I respected so much as a man of God lied to me several times for some special political gains that almost landed us in serious chaos, if God did not give me the wisdom to handle the situation.

As if he's talking to fools on the international business scene. It's as if Ghana is the only country doing business. After screwing up the economy and everything, Mahama has moved Victor Smith to the U.S. to try to woo foreign investors. When the NDC is using "buga-buga" tactics to suppress Ghanaians, which electricity bills are have been hicked by as much as 1, 000%, how can businesses thrive in Ghana? When Mahama uses the Police and state security to harass opposition leaders and peaceful protesters resulting in the loss of one's eye; doses Mahama and his wicked bunch of criminalsthink the iinternational communityis dumb huh? IIt's funny for Ghana's ambassador in the U.S. to try to lie about what is obvious in Ghana. The few that braved the storm to test the investment climate in Ghana have moved to neighbouring Cote d'Ivoire, Nigeria and other West African countries. Funny NDC govt; it's laughable to hear that. But NDC govt will try to insist that everything is just cool.

Who want to do business in a country where corruption persist everywhere.A country where the chiefs sell one property to five or more people,a country where you have to pay bribe before you can register a land.

if the ndc shuts down the social media on the day of ekections as Mahama has instructed the IGP to do in order to aid Charlotte Osei to rig the elections then the social media in Ghana will be burnt down forever.

Ambassador Smith is throwing dust into the eyes of investors.Please,don't take him serious because it is not safe to invest in the country of late.My Kenyan friend wanted to build estate houses in Ghana but he is very scared and having double minds.He says he is waiting for a change in government.I myself put in $50,000.00 in business in Ghana.The business was doing good in NPPs time But when NDC took over,believe me or not,my business has collasped and all the money is gone wasted.I will advise any investor who wants to do business in Ghana presently to think twice.Even there is no electricity in the country.Armed robbery is going very high,corruption is going very fast so how can someone say it is safe in the country for investment.

Ghana is the most expensive place to set up and run a business. You cannot be competitive with this high level of electricity, interest rates, inflation rates.Investors are wiser than this full.

This guy is either a liar, a fool, an idiot or all of the above. Good business men and women do their home work before the invest their hard earned money. They just don't invest blindly. Only the corrupt and the crooks will invest in Ghana now. The corrupt atmosphere is not conducive for investment. You've be a crook or a corrupt business person to make money in Ghana now. The incompetent corrupt criminal thieves at the helm have made it impossible to succeed in business in Ghana. All the care is the BORROW, MANIPULATE, INFLATE, CREATE, LOOT, SHARE AND COVER-UP to enrich themselves at the expense of the welfare of Ghana as a whole. Very sad indeed.

Ghana is not safe now. Unless you fight robbers i will not agree that Ghana is safe. Also Dumsor will make it worse so stop these before you talk about safe.Why do NDC lies always.

Ambassador Smith maybe working hard, but it is still taking so many painful months to just renew a Ghanaian passport and this beats my imagination! It is sad that a whole nation will be running out of supplies for so many months. Instead of the 15 working days promised, it becomes an open ended waiting game.
Ambassador, please do something about this

It is true that there's peace in Ghana for Bisness but at the same time has the poorest Bisness climate due to poor Governance. Nana is Coming to change things around.
