A national plan is of the utmost essence.

NDPC should provide a portal for the public to contribute their suggestions.

This will not achieve the desire results if the constitution which allows political parties to come out their manifesto to deal with development issues issues is not altered. Certain development agendas should not be left in the hands of political parties as their main intend is to win votes but not to deals with some unpopular issues. Until that is done we are just joking with our future.

Once again, the 40 year National Plan will not be workable and it is waste of money and time.

I feel really happy that something I have been drumming since 2005, is on course to manifest. What the country needed all the years after Nkrumah was a National Agenda. For the country to move forward, Nkrumah drafted a 7 year development plan. The second phase of the next 7 years just kicked off when he was toppled in February 1966. At the time of the coup, Ghana was ahead of Malaysia, Singapore and Korea. Where are we today? Malaysia got it's nursery palm trees from Ghana, and was shipped from the KADE STATE FARMS by the Black Star Lines, MV Pra River, Tano & Volta through the Tema Harbour. National Agenda, and not party manisfestos that has brought nothing to the country but corruption.

DID YOU CONSULT OTHER PARTIES? IF NOT, THEN NOTE THAT ANY OTHER GOVT. WILL ALSO DRAW ITS OWN DEVELOPMENT PLAN. WHAT WILL BE THE USE THEN?

A long term national developmental plan should have ALL INTERESTED parties on the table. Open it up to the public to create a deeper buy in from society.

A rubber stamping council which will not even ask very critical questions in order to develop a more robust plan has CERTAINLY developed A FAILED plan even before it is implemented.

COME ON GUYS LETS GET SERIOUS!!!!

This plan is predicated on the premise that NPP will never come into power. The day the opposition grabs control of the government, it will be a whole new ball game. This plan will not worth the paper it is written on.

It is a useless institution which had never analysed anything and said no to the master before. We need the senate instead of this useless group. How can a president appoint people like this and be paying them for doing nothing mentally challenging and only saying yes. They will go after 2016 with ni moi Thompson and his useless policy and the brainless Ndc

Already Nii Moi Thompson is telling us what should be in the plan (aspects of petroleum guide and African Union agenda 2063). This is sad because the plan should contain the vision of majority of Ghanaians but not what Dr. Nii Moi Thompson feels. And the Almighty Dr. Kwesi Botchwey is talking about 4-year reviews. These guys are not real planners but economists.....getting confused about development planning. In a subtle way, they're trying to borrow ideas from Prof. Opoku's article on the 40-year plan that appeared in the daily graphic of July 23. May be they've consulted him for advice. Otherwise they shd do so! Ghana cannot afford to waste money on another vision 2020!

The development plan looks good on paper but it will be short on implementation. Ghana is particularly known for its inability to implement and any plans or programmes

This is funny. The council of state is made up of incompetent old men and women without any expertise in planning. So on what basis did they approve the plan?

This is a big joke because the NDPC itself is politically biased. If Ghana were to be a one party state then so be it. The one who dreamt that must be drunken. Isaiah 19 : 13 - 15. Ghanaians watch out they're creating unproductive jobs for themselves and means to steal from the country. God will save Ghana. AMEN.

Some of you people are such idiots. How can you give an informed opinion of something you have not read. To my understanding ALL Ghanaians will have the opportunity to contribute to the national development discourse and as far as I know, Dr Thompson has apprised and consulted with ALL the political parties as well former presidents Kuffour and RAwlings, as well as president Mahama. So stop your bitching and join the effort to get our great country into the 21st century.
