Its unfortunate that you inherited the Presidency. You are not really a Presidential material and have no clue on managing a country.

It's a disgrace for this stupid northerner to go beg the developmental partners for help when he has squandered the nations resources on stupid projects in the north rearing guinea fowls and tree planting in the harmattan. As for Atuguba he does not know what is about to befall him.

There he goes again begging about developmental partners helping us to get us out of the economic mess he has created. Where does he think these developmental get the money he is begging for if the Politicians in these countries loot and share as his government has done in GYEEDA, SUBAH, SADA, GRA, Merchant Bank/Fortiz, etc.

What a disgraceful government, always begging and looting.

Corrupt, dishonest, deceit and a liar
Dramani Mahama, having a person such as Asiedu-Nketia, Buidam thief, Kwakye Ofosu stupid talkative and senseless
Fiifi Quartey who claim to be an economist but cannot detect a fly cannot employ any good economical strategy to help build Ghana's economy
and strengthen our cedi.

Fellow country men and women, coming 2016 elections, those NDC so-called politicians because of their stealing
activities, selfishness, corruption and their incompetency can never
bring our country into economical stability until all cattle comes home.

The best Ghanaian People should do is
to advise themselves and learn seriously as the 2016 is just around
the corner, let's get these NDC crooks
out of our position of trust.

DRAMANI MAHAMA AND HIS NDC so-called
politicians TWEAAAAAAA are they our
co-equal?

HOW DO YOU MAKE GH MORE ECONOMICALLY COMPETITIVE, U ASK?

B/R&D:research and development being carried out within GH. GOVT MUST PROVIDE R&D tax credit for all companies who OPERATE/HVE operations within GH.
C/CORPORATE TAX BREAKS TO MULTINATIONALS WHO WISH TO USE GH AS THEIR HEADQUARTERS TO DO BUSINESS. THIS WILL HELP GH REMAIN globally engaged through trade and investment ACTIVIITES.
D/OFFER MORE CASH SAVINGS INCENTIVES FOR THE PPL OF GH THRU THE BANKS, MEDIA. DO THIS THRU FINANCIAL LITERACY CAMPAIGNS, CASH SAVINGS STRATEGIES WITH INTEREST E.G TFSA, RRSP, MUTUAL FUNDS, GIC'S, STOCKS/GSX ETC
E/FACTORIES: TURN MORE RAW MATERIALS TO FINISHED GOODS FOR EXPORT. IMPORT LESS.
IF GH WANTS TO RESOLVE ITS BUDGET DEFICIT, CHANGE THE MACROECONOMIC VARIABLES OF CONSUMPTION AND SAVINGS.
STRENGHTEN COMMERCE FACTORS SURROUNDING THE ECONOMY SO THAT THEY INDIRECTLY AFFECT THE POSITIVE STRENGTH OF THE CEDI. RATHER THAN TAKING SPECIFIC CEDI REVAMP MEASURES
F/I THINK ITS TIME THE BOG AND THE MIN OF FINACE MADE THIS ILLEGAL. IF YOU ACEPT FOREIGN CURRENCY AS LEGAL TENDER IN EXCHANGE FOR GOODS OR SERVICES IN GH. YOU THE ACCEPTEE MUST BE ARRESTED AND MUST SPEND AT LEAST 3MTHS IN JAIL,PLUS A FINE OF TRIPLE THE AMOUNT OF FOREIGN EXCHANGE YOU ACCEPTED.
THIS ALONE WILL CAUSE BUSINESSES LIKE HOTELS ETC FROM ACCEPTING OR PRICING IN DOLLARS OR ANY NON GH CURRENCY. THIS INCLUDES CHURCES TOO...LOL

He looks more corrupt and fraudulent. He seems to be thinking selfishly about himself, his personal legacy, his family, his cronies at the expense of improving conditions in Ghana and the northern and upper regions.
You are right to condemn him. I really applaud you, keeping thinking critically and objectively and you will go far. Objective thinking is a prerequisite for development.

This is the real deal: Large companies like Tullow, AngloGold and others ship out the raw natural resources out of Ghana and request payment in their foreign banks accounts so Ghana never sees all the foreign exchange coming back to Ghana. At least you will think that tax is accessed on every natural resource exporter out. For example if Tullow is shipping out 100,000 barrels of oil at $100/barrel, there should be some sort of tax accessed to it. Corporate taxes in the USA is 35% so you can imagine if Ghana access 30% corporate tax on all natural resources leaving the country. Naturally, these companies will save some money in Ghana to run their businesses. In short, Ghana needs to tighten its taxation methods and get rid of corruption.

But the President gives in too easily. Enforce the windfall tax. If they close down the mines give them ultimatum to re-open or nationalize them to keep Ghanaians employed, and keep the gold too.

With all these incompetent fools in this circus, who in his wisdom will come and help mother Ghana. And still thinking a fools way that the "Economic challenges are short term". This nose dive of the economy didn't start yesterday but is due to stealing and all sort of economic mismanagement since beginning of 2009 and that is having the dare consequence now.

The best solution is to throw in the towel and exit with your incompetent appointees whose main duty is insulting opposition parties without yourself reprimanding them. E&OE.

First of all the problem with the depreciation of the cedi can trace its source from the unprogressive, and if you want, the oafish policies instituted by the notorious dictator Rawlings, that is the structural adjustment program. This has led to the import driven economy. The adverse effect of which is the imbalance of trade problem, that we are experiencing now, and its concomitant and unwarranted demand for foreign currency. This bogus policy allowed multinational firms to take over our factories and resources, and what this means is that they repatriate huge sums of foreign exchange putting further pressure on the already weak cedi.

Another cause of the problem is fiscal indiscipline on the part of a government .

I suggest that the government with the help of stakeholders institute a non-partisan, comprehensive and well thought out plan to reduce the imbalance of trade problem.

This job is over Mahama's head and all he does is make excuses. He said he needed time even though he has been in the presidency as a vice and now president for 5 years. He said he was in first gear and was moving to the 3rd gear but it looks like the gear is now in reverse. Now he is looking to external aid after misusing all state revenues to ensure his tainted electoral victory. The economic decline did not start with the fall of the cedi. It has been going on for 5 years but he has been in denial.

How short is your short term, Mahama. After all these years as a parliamentarian, Deputy Minister of state, Minister of state, Vice president, and finally president of the republic of Ghana, if this is all you could tell Ghanaians, then there is something wrong with you.
In fact, you are a disgrace to your party, and the nation as a whole. I cannot imagine how the good people of Ghana could endure the current hardships to the end of your so called short term. You had all the privileges to steer the affairs of this country during the first term of the late Prof. Mills because the latter was virtually blind leaving you in-charge of affairs.
After the mystery surrounding the death of Prof. mills,you stepped in his shoes, and the expectation was that, with the dearth of experience in government you were going to excel to bring hope and prosperity to Ghanaians.
Regrettably, you've only proved yourself to be clueless, visionless,and incompetent, only interested in the privileges attached to the office of the president. Ask yourself the value you've added to the Ghanaian economy since you took over as president.
Calculate all the benefits you've enjoyed since you became president, and assess yourself if you are fit as president of the republic of Ghana. No value created! period. You are running the country with 'school boys' whose main objective is to loot for a brighter future for themselves. Personal aggrandizement is their main objective.
We govern and run a country with people who have distinguished themselves as self made men and women in life. They have everything you can think of, their children are well educated, and they live life worthy of emulation. The wealth they've acquired was not from politics, but acquired through hard work. If you dare to investigate them, they've honoured all their tax obligations.
Such are the men and women who are brought into politics to let their experience bear on the smooth transformation of the country.
These school boys ministers cannot even fill Assets Declaration Forms, because they had nothing before their appointments. Check and find out if all your school boys ministers have completed filling their forms and when was it consummated ? They rushed on assumption of office to steal and loot from state coffers before submitting such forms. How do you develop a country like that.
All student leaders in the universities after acquiring their first degrees join the campaign trail of political parties, particularly, the NDC, who lack competent men and women, with the hope of landing on political appointments, and used such positions as launching pads to enter the Law School to legitimize their appointments. This attitude started during Rawlings 31st December coup, and has continued up to this time.
JAK did not use school boys, and that made his government very successful. If there were students at all, they were few, and were not ministers of state.
Unfortunately, the NDC hasn't got the men competent enough to steer the affairs of this country, and Ghanaians will continue to suffer because what John Mahama is doing is not governance, but Crisis Management. And his government is not even competent in managing the Crisis effectively.

This president should rather solicit help from the experts,Ghana has like:

TEMPORAL THINGS CAN GROW TO BE PERMANENT,IF NOT CHECKED,CORRECTED,SALVAGED,RECTIFIED,for a long time.
Canada,was the first country in the WESTERN BLOCK,that came out of the 2008 recession,because there is a brainy of the brainy,of the brainy economist,who solved their problems for them.
President Obama saw the good work that guy did,so he solicited his help for the US ECONOMY,to be salvaged.
The guy helped and great impact was achieved for them,to change things.
The German Chancellor,also saw these,so she organised her economic team to came to Canada,to meet the later,s economic team,and there was an economic breakthrough for the Germans,in the end.
BOTH THE US,GERMANS ARE VERY TALENTED,POWERFUL,BRAINY PEOPLE,but they needed help,and asked for it,at the time when things were getting out of control.
WHY SHOULD MAHAMA & HIS "GUINEA FOWL POLITICIANS" relax on this very serious,dangerous times,Ghana is gliding through,and not seeking the much needed help,from the experts we have?
We cannot bring the CANADIAN GUY,here,but we have our own to utilize.
WHY THE UNNECESSARY TACTICS & COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA,THAT HAVE FAILED US,SINCE ATTA MILLS' TIME?
Even,in the bible,there was A JOSEPH who solved a PHAROAH'S PROBLEM WITH INTERPRETATION OF HIS TWO DREAMS.
His advisers,magicians and wisemen could not interpret the two dreams,but JOSEPH,A FOREIGNER,did it,because,God empowered,ordained,gifted him to do it.
Some of our experts,might have the answer we badly need now,therefore,MAHAMA SHOULD BURY HIS PRIDE AND SOLICIT THE MUCH NEEDED HELP FROM THEM.
HE CAN'T SIT DOWN FOR THE HUNGRY MASSES TO TURN INTO AN UNCONTROLLED MOB,BEFORE HE ACTS.

WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBED HOW STUPID YOU ARE. YOU WERE ELECTED TO RULE THE COUNTRY, YOUR SPEECHES SAYS A LOT, YOU HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO RUN ANYTHING.
HOW DO YOU EXPECT OTHER COUNTRY TO HELP YOU HANDLE THE ISSUES OF THE COUNTRY THAT YOU'VE BEEN HANDED TO RULE ? YOU CAN'T HANDLE YOUR OWN LIFE.
YOUR NOT A LEADER, SO STEP ASIDE AND LET SOMEONE ELSE TAKE THE LEAD.
YOU ARE USELESS AND STUPID. YOU ARE THE REASON THAT AFRICA GET DEGRADED.
A PRESIDENT ASKING ANOTHER COUNTRY TO COME HELP DEAL WITH THE ECONOMIC HARDSHIP IN HIS COUNTRY. THUS UNHEARD OF.
DO YOU REALLY UNDERSTAND DEMOCRACY? OUR ANCESTORS FOUGHT WITH THEIR MIGHT TO GET RID OF COLONIALISM, YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO GHANA.
YOU THINK YOU CAN RULE WITH PREDICTIONS, YOU ARE MORE SICKER THAN
I THOUGHT.

We must stop this dependence on foreign aid and investment.

We have all the resources we need and more.

We must put in place a plan to exploit and utilise our resources for the benefit of all our people. This includes skills training in strategic areas, and acquisition of technical and managerial know-how.

We must stop giving concessions to foreign companies and learn to do things for ourselves.

We must add value and export more goods than we import.
