While it is good to promote investment, we must wean ourselves away from foreign direct investment and look to invest our own resources.
No foreigner is interested in our development; their only interest is to make a profit.
We need a paradigm shift from foreign dependence to self-dependence. Let us tap into the resources available locally and in the diaspora, and do away with fdi.

the economy is so good i wish they come and take this wonderful ndc govt to go and rule them there . whenever kwesi broni wants to tap a blackman on the back its only a sure sign that the person is key in selling out his own brothers . these fools think we cant see through their lies and deceit but we know the truth , things are going to get worse because the greed and selfishness of the ndc can not be erased . they should all go and burn for the hardship they pour on our people's head . everywhere you go some pepeni idiot is destroying all the good the Akans have created . the ayigbe shits join them to ensure only misfortune is handed to the Akans , we wait for the clarion call of freedom so we teach them a lesson . they say the economy is flying but yet no light or water , contractors doing work and not getting paid , strikes everywhere and rigging of elections denying the people a true govt of the people and by the people . they try and force down our throats their lack of morals , so perverse they even think homosexuality is good and recommended standard . in their madness they run around the world lobbying for support of their evil tyranny . integrity and honest service for the welfare of the people is no where in sight all we have is corruption from the highest office to the lowest of the lows . their days are numbered

We don't give a damn even if Mahama is appointed as the chairman of G8. These captions are just sugar-coated, the usual propaganda, to throw dust into peoples' eyes and distract peoples' minds from the on-going election petition. Whether he's rated among the top 10 African leaders or not, the bare facts are that the elections were rigged in his favour, a stolen verdict it was. This trend will be reversed soon by the court. As for those who rated him among the top 10 African leaders, it's a figment of their own imagination. Mahama has nothing to show for it. What has done since assuming power?Today he's here, tomorrow he's there, just chasing the wind. If Mahama thinks he'll win why did he make those unwarranted prejudicial comments that he won the elections "cleanly and fairly"? NDC reporters can go on with those "nice headlines" stories, we don't care a hoot, because it won't change the judges' verdict if Mahama must lose the case - one brilliant lawyer against three confused, "trial and error" lawyers!

For how long will Nana Addo endure this humiliation at the hands of Ghanaians and the international community as if he was a pariah? Nothing could be more slightful of Nana Addo than for him to be constrained to watch his nemesis from his sick bed receiving full honours and recognition from his hosts, and meeting with the world's most powerful when they clearly know that he is on life support. Henceforth, the message is clear: taking a cue from Ghanaians and their embassies in Accra, the advanced countries have come to the conclusion that JM indeed won the elections square and fair. Thus, the latest flurry of invitations being extended to JM is to show their absolute confidence in JM as the legitimate leader of Ghana and in so doing help to manage the frustrations of Nana Addo's supporters who may still be thinking that Nana stands a chance with the petition. After France, Japan, Uk, i can forsee the Americans, Germans, Italians, Dutch etc scampering to meet with JM before the year runs out, and leaving Nana in the cold.

In January 2013 the UK assumed the one-year Presidency of the G8 which means that the UK is responsible for shaping the issues that leaders discuss. Prime Minister David Cameron is determined to achieve change on three issues which are critical for growth, prosperity and economic development across the world:

Why trade?
Sweeping away bureaucracy will help trade to flow freely across the world, adding money to economies globally, supporting business and creating jobs. That will make everyone better off, including the world's poorest people who need the most help.
Why tax?
People across the planet are rightly calling for action against the small minority of businesses that evade and aggressively avoid tax. Strengthening international standards will allow countries to collect tax that is due to them.
And if what is owed is paid, it will help achieve lower taxes that will support businesses.
Why transparency?
Information on who owns companies, what they pay in taxes and who's buying up land and for what purpose, should be freed up for public scrutiny, as should information about government spending, tax receipts and payments from businesses.
This will help drive accountability so that people can hold their governments and companies to account.
It will also help create a level-playing field right across the world for the vast majority of businesses that play by the rules.

G8 MUSKOKA DECLARATION RECOVERY AND NEW BEGINNINGS
Muskoka, Canada, 25-26 June 2010
1. We, the Leaders of the Group of Eight , met in Muskoka on June 25-26, 2010. Our
annual summit takes place as the world begins a fragile recovery from the greatest economic
crisis in generations.
2. What binds the G8 together is a shared vision that major global challenges must and can
be addressed effectively through focus, commitment and transparency, and in partnership with
other concerned members of the global community.
The G8 has demonstrated the capacity to design credible approaches to meet the challenge
s of our times. For over thirty years, it has shown that its collective will can be a powerful catalyst for sustainable change and progress. At Muskoka in 2010, we are focussing on an effective agenda to address key challenges in development, international peace and security, and environmental protection.
3. This economic crisis exposed and exacerbated vulnerabilities already embedded in
integrated global economies, development efforts,and collective security .
Progress is being made, through the work of the G20, towards the sustainable recovery of our global economic and financial system. For development, a decade of policy commitments and joint efforts with our partners has brought significant progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), but both developed and developing countries must do more; meanwhile, the crisis has
jeopardized advancement toward meeting some of the 2015 targets. Renewed mutual commitments are required. We must also ensure that the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, terrorism and organized crime, as well as many other challenges faced by states to address their security vulnerabili
ties, including climate change, remain at the forefront of public policy. We, the G8, are determined to exercise leadership and meet our obligations.
4. Moreover, and beginning at the 2008 Hokkaido Toyako Summit, we have recognized the
importance of demonstrating that the G8 is committed to reporting transparently and consistently on the implementation of its commitments. In 2009 at the L’Aquila Summit, we tasked senior officials to report on the implementation of our development and development-related commitments with a focus on results.
We welcome the Accountability Report: G8 Action and Results [and will ensure follow up to its recommendations][and endorse its recommendations][and acknowledge its findings]. It shows that important progress has been made in many areas, but more needs to be done.
We emphasize the importance of regular reports on the progress made in implementing our commitments[and in this regard will focus the Accountability reporting in 2011 on sectors....].
5. As recovery takes hold, we are at an important crossroads where nascent hope and optimism must be channelled into building more secure, equitable, inclusive and sustainable Canadian
Presidency DRAFT – Sherpa comments May 26, 2010 2 societies globally, where greater attention is paid to improving and more better (US checking) effectively assessing the well-being of people.
Development
6. Support for development, based on mutual responsibility, and a strong partnership with developing countries, particularly in Africa, remains a cornerstone of the G8’s approach.
We will pursue our comprehensive approach to development aiming at sustainable outcomes.
We reaffirm our commitments, including on ODA and enhancing aid effectiveness.
We call on developing country governments to meet their primary responsibilities for social and economic development and good governance, in the interests of their citizens. Since the most vulnerable states have made the least progress towards the MDGs, we will place special emphasis on
helping them build the foundations for peace, security and sustainable development.
7. The global community is now at the two-thirds point between adoption of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)and the target date of 2015.
Evidence now demonstrates that the MDGs are achievable if the effort is truly global, encompassing a comprehensive, whole-of-country approach, including actions not only from all governments,
but also from the private sector, foundations, non-governmental organizations and civil society,
as well as international organizations, focussing more on the protection and empowerment of
individuals and communities to improve human security. In this regard, we welcome the UN
Secretary General’s report “Keeping the Promise” and the UNDP International Assessment on
meeting the MDGs.
The G8 supports the priorities outlined in the Assessment, and reaffirms the view that progress must be driven by domestic strategies, policies and interventions and national ownership. We call on all development partners, at the September 2010 UN High-Level Plenary Meeting on the MDGs, to strengthen the collective resolve to accelerate progress towards these targets and call for an action-oriented outcome.
Consequently, all public and private financial resources should be mobilized efficiently, and enabling conditions created for private and financial sector development and investment and resource flows.
8. Progress towards MDG 5, improving maternal health, has been unacceptably slow.
Although recent data suggests maternal mortality has been declining, hundreds of thousands of
women still lose their lives every year, or suffer injury, from causes related to pregnancy and
childbirth. Much of this could be prevented with better access to strengthened health systems,
and sexual and reproductive health care and services, including voluntary family planning.
Progress on MDG 4, reducing child mortality, is also too slow. Nearly 9 million children die
each year before their fifth birthday.
These deaths profoundly concern us and underscore the need for urgent collective action.
We reaffirm our strong support to significantly reduce the number of maternal, newborn and under five child deaths as a matter of immediate humanitarian and development concern. Action is required on all factors that affect the health of women and children. This includes addressing gender inequality, ensuring women’s and children’s rights and improving education for women and girls.
9. Consequently, we, the Leaders of the G8, working with other partners and developing countries, launch today the Muskoka Initiative, a comprehensive and integrated approach to [contribute to]
[accelerate]progress towards MDGs 4 and 5 that will significantly reduce the
