The people that you jet to in the West to borrow your money, have you ever asked yourself how they made and save some for you to come and borrow huh. you are beginning to disappoint me intellectually.

Pratt, they are folks with millions yet they carry balance on their credit cards. There are strategic reasons for doing so.

Do not comments on issues you have very little understanding of. You are tarnishing your brand.

Kwesi Pratt, go to Labone, near Kweku Baako's house and ask the Norway Embassy what is the heritage fund from oil.
This corrupt idiot must give us peace.

Norway has a surplus and not deficit like Ghana.It's ridiculous to compare a budget surplus economy to a highly indebted economy like Ghana

Idiot Kwesi Pratt where were you when NDC wanted to use it in 2014 for infrastructural programmes and there was fierce resistance At that time it was unproductive. How come now?

Note that the earliest time this fund laws can be amended by parliamentary majority is after 15 years (2026). Before that forget it. Ghana is nou the first country to have this heritage fund

If it was not good to be used for infrastructural development, it is equally not good to be used for SHS

Kwasi for argument sake and finance theory you are right. But if you have money at 2% why not use it as coletral to get better rates? It tells me Kwasi there is little to nothing in the Heritage fund. Meaning you are borrowing more than the Heritage can cover. Excessive borrowing and STEALING of the borrowed funds is the problem, not the rate of return on the Heritage. Give us a break PROSTITUTE.

Boy Kofi, you don't make sense at all! First of all who are "we"you're referring to? How many civil servants do you know are able to save money from their paychecks apart from the Corrupt Politicians? And even if one could afford to save money in the Bank, would you do that in compromise of your children's education or development? Since I don't know your mental capacity, I'm going to break things down for you to understand. Does it make sense for you to have money in the Bank while you have children uneducated on the streets selling Sachets of water?

It's not that savings is not good, why do I have to save money for 2% interest and go borrow another money for 10% interest. Why can't I use the money for what I need now and avoid the 10% interest. Saving the 10% interest we are paying for so many years can help the future generation.

Very disheartening that Kwesi Pratt will speak such trash when 91% available to the present generation is been mismanaged. 2% interest or not, there is some savings and calculate 2% over 30 years.

A husband and wife had been having a difficult time financially for quite awhile. The wife, who was of course very attractive and who had a healthy sexual appetite, was getting a little restless sitting home all the time. She asked her husband, who was very trusting and not jealous in the least, if he would mind if she had sex with men for money. She assured him that she would only have sex with them in her car at a secluded area of the park down the street. After much discussion, the husband relented, knowing how tight they were, and they both agreed that she should charge her customers $100 for a 30-minute session. The very first time with a customer, she was extremely aroused at the thought of having sex with the handsome stranger sitting next to her in the car. The man quickly pulled out his 10-inch erection. She grew quite flustered, thinking, "It is so much bigger than my husband™s!" But then she realized she hadn'™t discussed the price. The customer said, "I only have $80?" The wife said, "Can you wait a minute? I will ll be right back!" She ran all the way home, arriving out of breath. Her husband asked, "What™s the matter, honey?" She said, trying to catch her breath, "Can I borrow $20?

for the first time I think kwasi is making sense here. why thinking of future whilst present problems remained unsolved. Jesus christ admonished us not to think about tomorrow . For tomorrow will think of its self. Instead of cash savings for the future generation, this amount could be used as AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT FOUND" to support present farmers to produce more rice & replacement of cocoa for future generations to inherent. Agriculture being the foundation of every nation have been neglected for so long but nobody talk about it. We are importing rice from China and Thailand whereas we have potential farmers and vas unproductive swamped landscape in abundance. keeping cash as savings for future generations is senseless and unproductive.

For once I agree with Kwasi Pratt. The idea of the Heritage Fund is dumb if we must go out to borrow. Our focus must be on developing and expanding our economy with a well educated citizens.
If we must set up a Sovereign Fund, we should fund it with set asides from mineral. oil and other export surplus earnings. Just like we have Road Fund and GET Fund. Returns from any Sovereign Fund must be use to target social interventions. It does not make sense to set a fund collecting low returns just for the future generation. Such a Fund is there only to clear our guilt and it is hypocitical.

If any President will do the right thing in Ghana it is Nana Akufo-Addo.
He has said that his NPP government will fix the economy and I trust that they will do it. He also said that he will give every child an equal start in education by coming up with a free SHS,and again I trust this NPP team will do it. Why are some people having problems with Nana Akufo-Addo's promise to do good and not bad for Ghana.
By God's Grace Nana and the NPP will deliver,and those opposing this administration and hopping the worse for Ghana will never win,because,if God is for you,who can be against you?
Ghana will succeed because God is on the side of Nana Akufo-Addo and the NPP.
