  Pluck all the leakages and loopholes that was an avenue for the Mahama administration to steal. Ghana is rich but has been led by thieves, scavengers. We need people who have the nation at heart to turn things around and relieve the huge burden imposed on the ordinary Ghanaians in form of stupid and senseless taxation.
  
  Nana and his team can do it but it will take time.

  GHANA HISTORICALLY USES FOREIGN AND OTHER AID OR GRANTS TO FUND DEVELOPMENT, NOT TAX REVENUES.

  NONSENSE IN THE HIGHEST ORDER.
  
  FOREIGN LOANS AND GRANTS ARE WHAT GHANA'S FUCKING LEADERS USE FOR FUNDING DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS IN GHANA, NOT TAX REVENUES. OVER-TAXATION STIFLES GROWTH IN EVERY ECONOMY, NOT ONLY GHANA'S.
  
  ANY GOOD STUDENT OF BASIC ECONOMICS KNOWS THAT DISPOSABLE INCOMES PROMOTES CONSUMER CONFIDENCE AND INTRODUCES ECONOMIC DYNAMISM.
  
  TOO MUCH TAXES REDUCES DISPOSAL INCOMES BECAUSE IT TAKES TOO MUCH MONEY FROM INCOMES.
  
  
  OFORI-ATTA IS PERFECTLY RIGHT.

  A reduction in the tax rate will have an immediate impact on total tax revenue but the stimulus will take months or years to materialise. Ken should have explained how he is going to fund the gap. Will he suspend projects? Will he obtain more loans or maybe sell some capital items.
  He will have to do something .Can he please explain what that is

  I still cant understand why npp goverment is continually using the word coruption .
  
  I thought coruption has bèen crucified and buried forever from day one they entered flagstar house. Coruption was the order or household name before and during the election 2016 against their opponent as none of their members are corupt free.
  
  Yet the same word is been used over and over again, have they managed to barnish coruption from ghanaian society? If not then something serious has to be done to combat the situation from their political point of view otherwise we will remain there forever. Can npp root out coruption from ghana forever? If yes then congratulation!!!!
