He called for a grand jury to be set up to investigate the cocaine that was imported into the country and where it ended up. Asked how his government would deal with the cocaine issue, he said he would set up a special police task force to trail people in the business and added that he was not ready to reveal his entire secret. Mr Wayo, who used to opportunity to talk about his capabilities should he become president, said his administration would pursue policies that would save Ghanaians from the present economic hardship. "When I become president, Ghanaians will see transformation in the economy in three months," he said.

Mr Wayo urged Ghanaians not to believe in what the World Bank and the IMF say about how well Ghana was doing and how it was improving her economy since all these were unrealistic.
