You of little primary school education. Common sense tells me that we are being exploited of our minerals. Exactly what Pratt is saying is not something new. Do you know the billions of dollars that obuasi gold fields alone have made and taken out of the country?. Fickle minded kejatia thug. This has nothing to do with ethnicity.

This is a very important matter. Foreigners are taking everything for free - gold, diamonds, oil, manganese, telecommunications, road and housing contracts, etc. Our government is spineless.

In an ALL AFRICA interview with the former president Kufour, he said when the time came to discuss the terms with the Anglo America, they had refused to all their terms on the money side so they tabled the name to be change and on that the white man agreed to change Anglo America to Ashanti gold.
K4 claimed he was happy with the name change.
Well, the name did not bring anything to the people of Asante let alone the whole country.
Any way Kufour was able to secure a job for his son to be on the board of Ashanti gold.
That's one man's greed in exchange for what might be good for all.

But what we do not know about the white man is that when it comes to money, he's ready to offer you his daughter,wife,mother and sister instead of what is due you financially.

Kwesi leave ghanaians to battle with the economy.When Osagyefo was overthrown and the nation was taken over by the IMF ghanaians lost total control of the economy.Since February,1966 Ghana has on 19 occassions sought financial bailoutS from the IMF.And we all know what happens when the IMF controls a nation's economy-conditionalities which lead to austerity,poverty,unemployment and disincentive to work.I cannot figure out a country in africa which has become economically prosperous as a result of IMF financial bailouts.Its conditionalities strangle the economic development of nations,especially the poor ones.

Do you know it was your Nkrumah who went to IMF first?

Nkrumah was the first in the history of Gold Coast/Ghana to run a budget deficit because he carelessly used the money given to Ghana by the colonial masters.

The colonialists did not leave any money. It is their propaganda bought by their puppets that said they left money. Check your facts with your bosses at the IMF.

We can also make good dollars in the aviation industry but the stupid people there like Atoklo and Hoffman are making us loose a lot of money which can stabilize the cedi.Those people has to give way to more competent people who are willing to die for the nation.They have taken a Ghanaian airliner Goldstar airlines from the Washington route and given it to south Africa airlines to operate.That is total nonsense and how do we expect the dollar to stay in Ghana.

Mr Pratt, you are right on the issue of minerals resources exploitation. However, 3.5% of the Jubilee field was given (free to EO Group by the Kufour government). EO Group sold part of their field to Tullow for $300,000,000.00 and the money ended up in a Tax Haven account (? did they pay any tax on this).

On infrastructure development, do we have any local companies with the capacity-capital and human expertise-to build our motor ways?

Which bush meat are you talking about and what will be its long term Economic variability in terms of export demands and health implications ? How many Antelopes. Ground hogs, rats etc will be in demand on World Market to merit your preposterous figures in the long run? Advanced countries are taking hits in their Agrarian Economies and you are sitting in your Shell advocating for dependance on bush meat export. Say that in Liberia , Sierra Leone , Guinea , and The DRC and hear what you will be told.

If bush meat is worth its weight in gold then why not create a department of bush meat industries to help export our “kokoase” practices to a world in demand for our bush meat?
We lost out on our land and mineral resources to foreign-owned companies because when it comes to money poor nations, in particular African nations are more likely to sell their mothers to make a buck to abuse and misuse.

Depreciation of the cedi, despite the propaganda by the NPP is not of President Mahama's making but the makings of a rotten approach to government and governance we acquired since 1966. In the USA, Canada, Western European nations, China, Russia and other Asia Pacific nations, there are certain aspects of industries they do not and cannot sell in the interest of national security, symbol and or economic independence. In Ghana we have fools the likes of an NPP and NDC administrations that sells out from underneath Ghana a host of assets including the entire telecommunications infrastructure at a time when technology is used by powerful nations to eavesdrop on decision making of nations. How could these boneheaded decisions bring added value to the cedi when the true value/worth of a currency are not measured only on the merits of GDP; China and other nations manipulate the value of currency and not of GDP. We do not have tangibles to shore up our currency and must rely on the intangibles which include the prospects of owning our mineral and land rights in perpetuity which we cannot any longer.
