    The President never borrowed to share to his ministers but decided to use the money to put up infrastructures that will in a long term generate revenue for the country and will use them to settle or clear our debt.

    President Mahama will generate funds from the schools, hospitals and the road constructed to pay back the debts if its huge as was been described by Dr. Nduom. Measures have been put in placed to prevent all these problems

    @John, more taxes will be imposed on the poor people of Ghana. Tarrifs will also go up by over 2000%. Mark it on the wall.

  • Smart Frempah Uk 8 years ago

    What will he do? Nothing, he will continue to borrow as if there is no tomorrow. But I wonder who are those reckless lenders. What are the parameters of lending to someone? This is insane.
