Every comment she made was sensible. Whilst I have always been angry with her for hounding Ndoom from the cpp, I know I will sound and look stupid if I criticise even when she makes an intelligent observation. It will show i am not objective but probably emotional from my end of month discharge stress.

At least this will help eradicate " Judgement Debts " created by previous irrelevant politicians such as AKUFFO ADDO who
wouldn't mind what happens to the national coffers

Unlike the PNC and the GCPP who rush to endorse a policy plan that is still born, Samia is applying critical thinking that is worth emulation by all other stake holders. How can we trust a 40-year development plan by these incompetent goons in government? If SENCH and Duncan Williams prayers could not save the free fall of the cedi from grip of Anita DeSoso's evil Dwarfs, then your guess could be as good mine especially as the main protagonist of such a plan are the gargantuan SADA GYEEDA SUBAH ASONTABA cabal with the embraer jet plane thief, john Mahama , as their leader. Those who have ears should listen to Samia, the Egyptian goddess, for she is applying critical thinking here.

Once a politician is leading this, especially an Ndc man, it will NEVER work. First of all, the Ndc will take all credit and sing from the rooftops for political advantage. Better governance is best. Educating our population to stop voting for tribal parties like Ndc will be a start. This Ndc government is the worst government in Ghana's history. Thieves and incompetent small boys ministers is the order of the day,

The plan should place emphasis on industry and technology. Agric and education are critical to the plan but it should be seen only as a means to an end with industry and technology being the end product . It must be designed to create employment as well as produce what we need locally like medicine, tools, IT, machinery. It should have the view of making us a developed country which is totally self sufficient with strong relationships with our neighbours both politically and economically.
It must also touch on governance with a view of creating a governance system which discourages dysfunctional behaviour.

The average life span in Ghana is 60. A 40 year development plan means roughly 70 percent of to day's population in the land will be deceased before the plan is fully actualized, if at all. Hope runs eternal

My friend, every country have a plan. Example, in U.S, England they have 100 years plan. Who cares who die or who live. So far as you have a plan that guide you and you modify it has you go.

If that be the case why don't we as a nation have a One-Party system, like Ghana had in the 1960s in order to stop the tribal politics. A 40 year plan will rather throw the nation into a scramble for political power and corruption since whichever party wins the election will have an automatic mandate from the people to do or not do what is demanded in the plan. One party, like the NDC will steal the elections year after every four years to control all the money. Then there will be civil war like Rwanda.

We should not deceive ourselves!! No State has ever has a 40 year development Plan. It is not imposible. We are wasting our time and the small Financial ressources. Dr Thompson and his team should reconsider the Plan.

I'm really happy reading this. I just hope they didn't go there to talk n chop as usual but considered this as the way forward. Back in 2009, I wrote this exact same idea in a notebook, so reading this is like a dream come true. It's about time we stopped the everyday politics, notably, the NDC-NPP scuffle shit we got going and push Ghana forward. It's very hard to believe that a country like Ghana still rely on foreign donations to provide even the basic needs. We've got everything, all the resources a country can ask for. All we've lack all these years in developmental stagnation are leaders who think! Not only of their pockets and bellies, but the stinking gutters in our cities, the bad roads in our communities, able young men begging or robbing us, etc. Unfortunately, they don't get to see all these because they're busy living on the country's wealth and only see the bad side of the country when it's time to campaign for elections.

With this plan our Laws have to be enforce, and all the 3 powers should be independent. What is going on now is not sustainable. I call this plan Pro-forma in accounting terms.

Nii Moi Thompson obviously has a lot of time on his hands and therefore has been asked by John Mahama to go around and source for ideas to write their manifesto promise for 2016, either than that, why will he be running around on such a useless exercise?
Samia Nkrumah put it succinctly when she said, it would not make any sense if the previous gov't left a legacy of nonsense-ness and by some so-called development plan, a new incoming administration would have to continue with the nonsense.
Who doesn't know we need roads, schools, electricity, jobs, stable currency, good economy, etc, etc? Does one need a national development plan to bring such to fruition?
If a gov't does not know what it is about, that is when, it goes around on such useless exercises.
For example, our Constitution set a timeline of 10years for the attainment of free, compulsory, basic education for every child in this country. Has it been achieved? Had it not been Nana Akufo Addo of the NPP making free, compulsory education a major development issue, that objective as spelt out in the Constitution would have still be on the backburner. Indeed, the John Mahama NDC gov't said, such an objective was not possible and would be looked at from 2030, when forward looking and smart Ghanaians were thinking about how to address this particular issue, which the Constitution stipulated or gave a 10 year window on the coming into force of the document, to become operational.
Nii Moi Thompson should spare Ghanaians this NDC manifesto exercise and tell his appointing authority, the gov't of President John Dramani Mahama, that a very simple and basic exercise of providing chalk, log books, assessment forms etc, is not being met, because the capitation grant has not been paid for over 2 years, and this has caused the educational sector to retrogress by about 2 decades, and it is affecting the development objectives of this country, which no plan can solve and that is a critical national development imperative which needs to be addressed with all seriousness and not this useless exercise.
