This 22 point nonsense is a joke. Anybody can kill an elephant with his mouth. Things are written on paper and kaboom everybody starts clapping. Did we need any stupid economic forum to remind ourselves that national development must be the one and only ultimate purpose of anybgovernment and not creating wealth avenues for loyal party members. If anything was obvious from the so called forum, it was that the NDC government admitted to being totally clueless about how to run the economy. But short sighted majority Ghanaians failed to notice this though.

They should have focused on:-
1 Corruption - the no 1 problem in the country.
2 The fact that the proportion of total revenue going to pay public servants including politicians is one of the highest in the world (and you really don't want to be a leader in that stat.
3 The legal system doesn't work. Who wants to invest big in Ghana when laws to not support you and corruption is soooo high?

Interesting!! That with all the brains and "Experts" at the forum, Nobody saw the the need for the implementation of the Freedom of Information act to help minimize CORRUPTION (ALSO NOT MENTIONED)which is the MAJOR CAUSE OF OUR WOES!! These 22 points are nothing but an academic summary of a discussion. They are not policy laws enacted by parliament, and backed by any legal force. They ARE NOT NEW!!

It is being postulated that devaluation of the cedi is in the works, and the NDC gov't led by John Mahama wants the masses to believe together with it's propagandists like Bature that, the NEF or the NDC gov't for that matter, is competent enough to address the whittling fortunes of the country in the presence of an oil economy, whose prudent use in some jurisdictions have turned deserts into first class societies, with these societies still punishing the limits and boundaries of their capabilities.
The Mahama led NDC gov't has failed and need to be consigned to the dustbin of history at the ballot box in 2016.

Yes, hindsight is always 20/20; but Ghanaians had FORESIGHT to NOT vote for John Mahama. Now we all know why. If I were Justice Atuguba, I would bow down my head in shame for the misery I have caused Ghanaians.

The 22 points expressed nothing new except that NDC has informed Ghanaians what they have failed to do.

Immediately I read BoG's restrictive policies on the economy to correct the so called dollarization issue, I knew we were doomed. A characteristic of money is a store of VALUE. Do u want to store your value in gold or bronze? People are doing what anyone will do. Store their export earnings in currencies of their choice outside. Inflows? Galloping inflation is an inevitability if black market (true rate) is GHS3/UDS1. I wonder if this dude at BOG ignored the consequences of this inevitability. Listen dude. Align your policies with progressive stuff people like to do. Obama stimulated the economy by being pro business and provided incentives to consumers to consume.

Amazing! Not even one cause of the present economic malaise, such as fiscal indiscipline, premeditated corruption or the payments of created judgement debts, was mentioned in the declaration.
