    40 years development plan? who plans that far into the future?
    It was absolute nonsense in the first place.

  • Kofi 6 years ago

    The fact that you Earl Jones can't think that far into the future doesn't mean others cannot. Indians envisaged the need for computer scientists 50 yrs ago that's why they're the best at it today! Short sightedness dey worry ...

    Smart people and smart countries do. We didn't any long term plan for anything in Ghana and that is the cause of mess the country is in today. Olive trees start bearing good fruits after 30 year but old farmers with vision st ...

    Mr. Jones my guess is you are under 40.If I'm right then hopefully you will see the next 40 and you will be the judge. If you are over 40 then you must be very selfish.

  • Tony 6 years ago

    Wise man. You are short sighted in vision. A country can have 100 years plan. If they know their needs and where they want to be at , at every point along the way. So 40 years development plan is not too far.

    HOW WILL GHANA ALLOW MINORITY TO COME INTO POWER TO WASTE MONEY AND DITCH GHANA INTO DEBTS WITHIN THE 40 YR DEVELOPEMENT PLAN NEVER NEVER

  • Kofi 6 years ago

    Npp refused to attend when they were invited to partake in the drawing of the plan. Stupid old men like this osafo marfo guy are a disgrace to Ghana politics!

  • Michael 6 years ago

    Who cares if you will not follow what majority thinks should be done. Such self centered politicians must all die off

  • Yaw 6 years ago

    He knows he will be dead in less than 40 so he couldn't care less. No wonder he approved of a national cathedral where he would be laid in state Selfish old man.

  • Kofi 6 years ago

    Actually, you may be dead too!

  • Yaw 6 years ago

    I'm 60 so I will be a fool to expect to be around in 40 yrs but my children and grand children will still be around so I still make long term investments.

    I totally agree with my senior brother Mr Osafo Marfo.THE NATION'S DEVELOPMENT PLAN SHOULD NOT EXCEED 10 YEARS.There must be room for flexibility in even a 10 year development plan for the nation to be abreast with modern dev ...

    You comments clearly is a sign that you and the so-called Senior Minister have no degree of understanding of what Perspective Plan constitutes.

  • Adu Phillips,Toronto. 6 years ago

    Osafo Marfo is too proud and arrogant. Meanwhile he has succeeded in perpetrating nepotism by bringing his son down from abroad to head SSNIT. He is a through-in-through ethnocentric tribal bigot who can set this country abla ...

  • Kofi 6 years ago

    I don't know who conceived the idea of a 40-year devt plan at this time of the world's history.

  • Faith 6 years ago

    They are used to rejecting everything since the beginning.
    1. They rejected independence "now"
    2. Rejected Akosombo Dam
    3. Rejected Tema, Harbour and motorway
    etc. so I am not surprised
    Ghana is a no plan country that i ...
