Please life is give and take. First, Ghana is a poor Country and so if we want to develop, we have to be flexible and also have to do barter trading. So we are mortgaging our assets for things which can develop and transform our economy to a certain level. We have no choices. Nobody will give their money for free. China is now the richest Nation on earth since 2014. China will control 50% OF World Trade by 2023, whether it is Ghana or not. So we have to accept that in Partnership or Joint Venture or Bank Loan, the parties invariably benefits. Everybody is in business to make profits.

Yes, it's give and take. Lungu has not said we don't need a loan. He is just asking Muhammadu to tell us EXACTLY what we are giving and what we are taking. If we have to give something when we take something, we should know exactly what we are giving. Muhammadu cannot say there are no strings attached. It may not be like an IMF or World Bank loan but there are certainly strings attached.

The government is not telling us everything. But such things should be public knowledge.

Lungu is an not only stupid and hypocrite...but write articles that are unintelligible by excessive use of abstruse technical terms, if you like silly import.

How does it feel, Justice Sarpong, hiding behind presumed anonymity to say something this stupid in defense of the NPP economic guru Bawumia who was reduced to a mere mop head by the Chinese? Today you, Justice Sarpong, are worried about unintelligible article which was a mainstay of years of NPP pocket writers when Mahama was at the helm. Seriously, why can't you, the presumed intellectuals in the NPP and Dr Bawumia explain who pays for what, when and at what rate with his wonderful arrangement? Should the NPP not know if the China money if a loan or free money? Dr. Bawumia and Ken Ofori-Atta were able to renegotiate or refinance the Mahama era $1.3 billion loan because there was nothing hidden yet here you are with your brand of tribal arrogance, no sense of shame but full of hypocrisy trying to lie your way out of answering a simple but a more serious question of where is the beef with the Dr. Bawumia chop sticks from China?

SARPONG hasn't been here for several months now and I don't think he's afraid of using his normal ghanaweb name or moniker. Moreover, both SARPONG and OYOKOBA, fanatic supporters of NPP, know how to trace people by their ipaddresses and know others can do the same to them.

Does flexibility and poverty means the nations assets and resources should be sold cheap--valued bauxite ore of $450 billion for $15 billion with all the stupid explanations which makes no sense to the ordinary Ghanaian attached to it. It's time we Ghanaians stood up the govt for honest accountability, they have lied to us for far too long; it's most unfortunate too that we Ghanaians in particular and Africans in general from our leaders(past and presents) to the ordinary citizen on the street are made up educated and uneducated stupid fools--- WE ARE HYPOCRITES!

Are you sure Ghana is poor? Dr. Pink sheet and his boss the chip told us Ghana is not poor and Ghana don't need to take loan. What are we seeing and hearing. They are selling Ghana to line their pockets

This is pure garbage. Listen to Bawumia 8 months ago and you will understand why there is no sincerity in his statement.

What makes the article stupid, you could not even quote a piece in the article but rather insult the person, you have the right to critique but do it concretely. Blind follower.

Why is Bawumia being economical with the truth? Is he borrowing the money for himself or on Ghana's behalf? I hope we shall not trace this transaction to a Chinese restaurant like how one was traced to a hair dressing salon.

Howdy, BOY KOFI,

And so, if we must, the question becomes who has more leverage, of what type, China or Ghana?

In the neck of the woods where we were born, we used to say that if we own something (a resource) and that thing is not eating our food (i.e., we do not have to feed it), we are a lot better off keeping it than selling it only to deprive one's grandchildren of the resource they could have had.

There is a lot we chose not to say.

Thanks.

Greetings!
