    Business men/women gain more in foreign import than engaging in local production .Our govts shd look at reversing it. Eastern Europe is good at consuming what they produce locally, why can't we copy them?

    Ghana can rise again. We can revive these industries with private participation. Generally state owned industries do not perform well because of " it is for the government ' syndrome. I believe in public private partnership. ...

    The " reset", should first accomplish the task of halting the wide spread degradation of the land and water bodies. Till then, this fella, should open his
