Letter From The President (XXIX): Tips for a HIPC yuletide

Fri, 5 Dec 2003 Source: Fukuor, J. A.

Countrymen and women, loyalists and opponents,
Join me to sing various songs of praises for I have been told that with each passing day, our country continues to benefit from the HIPC initiative. I know that such benefits do not reflect on the size of your pocket. But if you look around, you will see the public toilets and schools which are being built with HIPC funds. That should give you something to cheer about and help you to forget about your deflated wallet or purse.

As Christmas approaches I thought of using some of the HIPC funds to buy 20 million pieces of chicken for each and every Ghanaian. I thought about this issue and called a meeting of my economic advisory team.
