Bawumia suggested digital governance and your useless self supported Mahama to take us back to Analogue governance government.
See where we are and what we are doing.
Ghana is going backwards.

Ghana's biggest problem is politisation of issues where politicians and their supporters brag about initiatives than who completes what. Col. Acheampong's market in Tamale is still at the foundation level while the 2 dominant political parties are doing adhoc structures for a show for votes. I believe there are many of such projects dotted across the length and breadth of the country which Sir Sam Jonah may have in mind. Until the constitution pin governments on completion of existing/uncompleted developmental projects initiated by previous governments successive governments we will continue to have white elephants across the country.

A "9-DAY" RECOVERY IN GHANA IS NO RECOVERY! IS JINAPOR REALLY EDUCATED? BOOK-LONG EDUCATION! CRUDE OIL PRODUCED IN GHANA BELONGS TO FOREIGN BUSINESSES AND THEIR FOREIGN BANK ACCOUNTS, NOT GHANA'S.

OVER 90% OF THE CRUDE OIL PRODUCED IN GHANA IS SHIPPED OUT AND REFINED OUTSIDE FOR THE FOREIGN BUSINESSES, SO JINAPOR SHOULD STOP THE NONSENSE THAT "Ghana's oil production rises 30% after five years of falling output". GHANA AND WHOSE CRUDE OIL?

HOW MUCH STAKES OR SHARES DOES GHANA HOLD IN OUR CRUDE OIL PRODUCTION IN OUR OWN GEOGRAPHICAL BOUNDARIES? 3%-5%? NONSENSE!

GHANA HAS NEVER INVESTED ANY OF THOSE DECADES OF LOANS TO ACQUIRE MAJORITY OR CONTROLLING STAKES IN ANY OF GHANA'S NATURAL RESOURCES.

WHAT A SHAME! GHANA'S LOOTING LEADERS HAVE NO SHAME! LET'S SEE WHAT COMES OUT OF THIS GOLDBOD THING.

LET'S JUST HOPE MUCH OF THAT GOLDBOD RETURNS HAVE NOT ALREADY STARTED GROWING WINGS INTO PERSONAL FOREIGN BANK ACCOUNTS..

YET MAHAMA AND PREVIOUS GHANA LEADERS HAVE RATHER BEEN "DASHING" OUT FOR THEIR "CUTS" GHANA'S NATURAL RESOURCES TO FOREIGN "INVESTORS" INSTEAD OF INDIGENOUS GHANAIAN INVESTORS.

THAT'S THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF CAPITAL FLIGHT FROM GHANA, WHICH HAS ADVERSELY BEEN AFFECTING GHANA'S CIRCULAR FLOW OF LIQUIDITY AND ECONOMIC GROWTH AND EXPANSION, AND MODERN INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT SINCE 1957..

Sam Jonah invested huge amount of his wealth in Nigeria and has lost almost all his investments there. What an ass hole. Now he thinks he has the brains to advise Ghanaians… very funny

One of the best articles I have read in years. If every government in Africa does these the people will not suffer. Lets work on that instead of insulting one another .It means agenda 111 could be completed.

The state must as a matter of fact put technology at the door steep of the citizen.
It will interest you that even in the advance countries coal and wood electric genera6tors and pumps are still in use.
