    If Nana's economic policies yield the much anticipated results, NDC will run backwards to the finish land. They have sensed that hence their stupid opposition to anything NPP is trying to put in place.

  • Ato 6 years ago

    Mr. KKK, did you say "only 10%"? You're looking at the 10% as if its a non-essential entity. Calculator 10% of GHS100,000 worth of imported spare parts, that gives you GHS10,000. You think the importer won't be happy to save ...

    I wish you will educate the gullible illiterates who are jubilating, because they are being fooled but they do not know it. NPP is fooling Ghanaians all the way to the bank.

    Kukrudu. All de way

  • Adensa 6 years ago

    Surely this scrapping of import duties should reflect on the prices of spare parts.

  • Africanus 6 years ago

    I am not so sure about that. There are only so much spare parts you can sell to a small population of 30 million - in other words spare parts market is not elastic. There will be some small positive impact on the economy over ...

    Are you trying to say that spare parts dealers are so stupid that they will import scrap spare parts into this country?

  • afua 6 years ago

    Do not jubilate yet until your first clearing of goods

  • Prince Charles 6 years ago

    Muaaaaaahhhh! They will be shocked to realize that only a handful of spare parts are exempt from import duty, and even these still attract other duties. NPP taking Ghanaians for an expensive ride.

  • Minnesota Man 6 years ago

    Thank you for the smart analysis. In fact the move discourages production. This will have a negative effect on Ghana's balance of trade.

  • Minnesota Man 6 years ago

    Hmmmm Ghana. When shall we encourage Production instead of importation? This is a recipe for 'junking' the country with unwanted and dilapidated spare parts.

    We pray that Ghanaians won't bring anything from abroad. Because we admire things rejected by other people. We pray we don't become a dumping country filled wastes.

    We need a reduction in utility, transport fares, school fees n increase in worker's pay not this spare parts issue. Npp is joking. We are reading in between lines.
