  HAYFORD,
  
  THANKS FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION, BUT THE PRBVLEM IS THIS:
  
  HOW MANY OF GHANA'S LEADERS HAVE THE TIME TO READ AND UNDERSTAND YOUR PROPOSALS, LET ALONE IMPLEMENTING THEM.
  
  HAYFORD, TO GHANA'S LEADERS, AS LONG AS YOUR PROPOSALS DO NOT CONTAIN ANYTHING ABOUT THE ENHANCEMENT OF THEIR ABILITY TO COLLECT BRIBES, LOOT THE STATE AND GO UNSCATHED, TO HELL WITH YOUR PROPOSALS.
  
  SADLY, THAT'S THE CALIBRE OF LEADERSHIP WE NOW HAVE IN GHANA.
  
  IN GHANA NOW, EVERY FOOL IS GOING INTO POLITICS BECAUSE THAT'S THEY CAN LOOT MILLIONS OR BILLIONS OF GHANA'S MONEY WITH IMPUNITY.
  
  BARTON ODURO, WOYOME, BETTY MOULD-IDDRISU, WERKO-BROBBEY, JOHN AGYEKUM KUFUOR, RAWLINGS AND KONADU, AND MANY OTHERS ARE PERFECT EXAMPLES OF THIS.

  - the under-priced rushed sale of Ghana Telecom to Vodafone for a price of US$ 900m in 2008 when in 1996 the then NDC 1 Administration had appointed Nana Akuffo-Addo’s Law Firm to write a contract for the then proposed intended sale to Vodafone at a cosy professional fee of £600,000 or so. And curiously in that year of 1996 the value of Ghana Telecom was put at US$ 1,200m. 12 years later it had dropped by US$ 300m with the government uninhibited in its desire to push through such sale. Every effort of government was to run Ghana Telecom down by giving free phone facilities to all members of government and their unrestricted use by family members as well as any associates to rump up deficits and losses at Ghana Telecom to justify its cheapened flogging. Would this not be curious?

  Mr. Akrofi, where can one get the information on Ghana Telecom valued at US$1,200m in 1996. As far as I know, by year 2000 Malaysians were 30% shareholders of Ghana Telecom and curiously had majority board members. So was it the 70% that was valued at US$1,200m or what? By the way where was Ghana Telecom by year 2000 when the spacefones (now MTN)and others were making huge profits when GT was choked with mounting debts? Was that also the making of NPP? Maybe you forgot that the US$900m was for 70% and Ghana still holds 30%. Please Let's be fair to ourselves.

  It is my view that large and bold capital projects, dashing and ground-breaking environmental engineering projects, innovative housing especially rural housing and other daring programmes must be undertaken. Towards this, I believe that the CPP expects that project financing and loan transactions must be conducted prudently by Government based on a costed and phased NATIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN and not on some haphazard piecemeal uptake which eventually become non-worthwhile and unproductive debt accumulation. ? Ghana is the EIGTH producer of Gold in the world after China, Australia, USA, Russia, South Africa, Peru and Canada and SECOND in Africa after South Africa. Among the top producers of gold it is only Ghana that doesn’t process its gold. All the others do. The programme to obtain certification rights which were at advanced stage in 1966 with the then Soviet Union was abandoned after the 1966 overthrow under the orders of the powers that were then. All the succeeding governments have not had the backbone, courage, desire, appetite and the political will to do anything about it.

  We have a Seven Year Development Plan Nkrumah left us which is still collecting dust in the Ghana archives...All we have to do is bring it back, dust it and tweak it here and there and upgrade it and follow that plan and all our problems will be solved within a matter of years.
  Let us do that and the "DARK DAYS IN GHANA" will be over.
  
  THEN WE MUST BAN THE NPP AS A POLITICAL PARTY.

  WE ARE STILL ON THE DARK PATH BECAUSE THE EDUCATED HAVE STILL FAILED TO DELIVER IN SCIENCE,TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION TO STIMUALATE ECONOMIC GROWTH AND TO TRANSFORM THE NATION TO PROSPERITY.
  
  WITHOUT SWEAT, TOIL, PERFORMANCE AND HARDWORK WE WILL NOT BE IN THE POSITION TO ACCELERATE ECONOMIC GROWTH, JOBS, GENERATE INCOME AND TO ALLEVIATE EXTREME POVERTY.
  
  WE ARE NOT EDUCATED TO SIT, WAIT,CRITICISE,WATCH AND PRAY BUT TO BE PRODUCTIVE.
  
  J.F. KENNEGY HAD THIS TO SAY IN 1962:
  FELLOW COUNTRYMEN YOU SHOULD NOT EXPECT WHAT THE GOVERNMENT CAN DO EVERYTHING FOR YOU BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR THE GOVERNMEMNT.
  
  IT IS WITH THIS REASON THAT WE HAVE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES TO PRODUCE PRACTICAL INNOVATIVE GRADUTES FOR THE LABOUR MARKET IN GHANA.
