  All you think about is your stupid so called Eastern and Northern corridor, and then you will turn around and ask Akans to produce more cocoa and sacrifice their lands for Chinese galamsey. I warn you that the time for patience explosion is very close if you continue with this bias kind of governing, you should expect chaos in the country because you will run out of luck.

  In fact SADA's equity share is negligible, even though its a good project.

  The abundant supply of free sunlight 24 hours a day in Northern Ghana must be worth more than 10% Equity. You can't get that supply of the main raw material of a solar plant anywhere in the world aside from the Sahara Desert BUT no too many people want to live on that desert; not yet, anyway.
  
  50/50 or no deal

  Dr. Jebuni, this is in the right direction, hope others including the Italian and South African companies that want to invest in Solar would soon receive SADA's attention. Ghana needs more energy now in order to power our economy and that of Togo and Burkina Faso. Action to implement is what Ghanaians want to see next year. I look forward to the day SADA will break the ground for the proposed mini hydro dam in Daboya, to the West of Tamale.

  While we do need investments in renewable energy, we more importantly need to spend money wisely - use the money to finish off gas and other plants that generate power at a cheaper rate like BUI
