  Yes the President was in made in Ghana attire and had a pair of shoes also made in Ghana on. I think I also saw him waving to the crowd in a made in Ghana vehicle.

  Whilst any revenues generated from the above are given as subsidies to promote local transport industries.
  
  For this to work requires dedication and commitment.
  
  So I say to the president: back your words with ACTION.

  Nana Ansan i can infer from your comment that you don't have manners right from your childhood so you have grown with. "I will always confront and prevent this HE-GOAT with huge mental problem ilk from poisoning the minds of young and uninitiated Ghanaians" my question for you, is insult the only way to confront a person? Can't you use any other means to confront him rather than the insult you are hurling on him? As sensible as you are i was expecting you to confront him with sense of decorum but not an insult as you always do. Opinion they say is like noses it differs from each other, the fact that you didn't agree with Okoampa does not necessarily mean that you should insult him, we can agree to disagree but in our disagreement we shouldn't insult ourselves but not you Nana Ansah the fact that you didn't agree with him means you should insult him but you claimed to be wise, cultured and civilized, don't let jealousy and envy beclouded your sense of judgment
  Now to say that Okoampa have a mental problem so you won't allow him to poisoning the minds of young and uninitiated Ghanaians means that you are a patriotic, i have a few questions for you mr.patriotic man. A woman was bathing the time she realized a mad man has taken her clothe, should the woman chase the mad man or she should let the mad man go and she to continue her bathing? This is the situation where Okoampa you claimed he is a mad man write articles on here.
  Ghanaweb for people to read to free their mind from captivity but Nana Ansah will read and started insulting Okoampa, why are you chasing the mad man? You and the person that you claimed he is mad, who is mad? To tell me that you are preventing him in other not to poisoning the minds of young and uninitiated Ghanaians is bogus and bias. Where were you when Rawlings poisoned the minds of young and initiated Ghanaians with tribalism etc, all the atrocities he perpetrated have you ever write any article against it or lambasting him for what he did? But you are here attacking Okoampa with an insult this alone tells me how hypocrite you are. Nana Ansah you can paint the town red, Okoampa careless, after all he has his own mind so you can go to hell if what you think is right, he is writing what he suppose to write but not what you Nana Ansah think.
  You can call me any name you like but I careless, primitive is a national anthem in Ghana, am proud to be primitive and bush rat as you claimed I am. I will never insult you because I had good parents who brought me up and nurtured me with sense of decorum, insult is the last thing I will do, first of all, I never know you, why should sit behind cyber and insult a person I know him not? I thought you live in Heaven not knowing that you are living on the same earth with me, living in America doesn’t make you a civilized or cultured only black Afrikan like you will always spew such ignorant, you have stepped on a lion tail watch out what is coming, you have open cyber war between us this is just the beginning of our cyber war. For your information I will always defend any article posted by Okoampa, Akadu Mensema, Sarpong and others if you don’t understand go and burn the sea.
  
  Follow me if you can but put all the burdens behind.

  Can Promotion of Made in Ghana Goods Do the Trick?
  
  No, it can't. That would be a miracle. The rot is Ghana is so much worse than that. The problem is not that of promotion. It requires a strict ban on certain imported items, the revival of certain industries and the complete control and monitoring of governing production modalities.
  
  But FIRST OF ALL, unless corruption is stopped in its tracks in order to make way for institutions and organs of the state to function to their optimum level (At least to 60 per%. Operating efficiency of Ghana is far below 35%) of efficiency, the economic decline will continue. A huge percentage of tax revenue goes into the pockets of individual and forces the state to go a borrowing. Personally, it is my belief we can pay for all services in Ghana using income generated in the country.
  
  In fact, the rampant corruption does not only deprive the country of resources, it makes everyone very sluggish and unresponsive to their business instincts. No one does what they’re supposed to do as they are occupy themselves thinking about how to cheat or beat the systems, the performance of which they're supposed to protect and boost in the first place.
  
  When Lula became President, Brazil was in a huge debt. He saw the problem and promised his country would stop borrowing in four years. He was no magician; he just used the tools at his disposal: The laws of the country.
  
  In the past, when China stopped imports and vetoed excessive foreign currency use while at the same time promoting support for domestic products the west thought it was crazy.
  Not quite too long ago, we all read on the media Ghanaians were importing Kente from China! I was so furious I wasted my day thinking over it. Why would government or whichever fool that may have been, to give import permits for Kente? And why would someone think of importing Chinese Kente into Ghana. That is very unpatriotic or disloyal; it is disgusting. If I were the president, I would directly cause to investigate the problem. In fact, I would not have care for what anyone would say.
  It would kill the industry for the traditional cloth we all love, and that is serious.
  
  Finally, if things don't change within a year, I would think Mahama has no head on his shoulders.

  We hear you Mr. President. We will buy made in Ghana goods because that is the right way to develop. But you too SPEND CHRISTMAS IN GHANA INSTEAD OF DUBAI, AND PATRONIZE OUR HOSPITALS INSTEAD OF FOREIGN HOSPITALS. That way you will help Ghana to conserve foreign exchange for critical development projects.

  So Gen I K Acheampong was a more visionarian than RAwlings who called him corrupt and murdered him. The formaer dedicated himself to make ghana self reliant at least in food production through the famous "operation feed yourself programme" He built all the estates in Ghana to huse Ghanaians. The larter( Rawlings sold all government factories and instituted corruption in ghana. Rawlings is the ghanaian former head of state convicted by a foreign court( Norway) as been corrupt and a bribe taker. When HE left office the country was worst off economically and socially than his predecesors whom he murdered. He formed the NDC who are continuing to go on a looting spree to destroy the economy
