@FRANKIE ... Ghanaians truly do have short memory because, after everything the government did in 2020 during Covid-19, they have so quickly forgotten. They now blame thew government for a global crisis. We will sorrowfully r ...

Please Dr Domfe, what about if the finance minister mortgages the present and future earnings of the country for loans that are shared among cronies. Huge debts with nothing to show for them except big V8s and HUGE FUNERALS. ...

Do you want to tell me the senseless borrowing is also not a factor? Why were our neighboring countries not affected much by COVID and the war?
The previous government borrowed money than present and yet had us through dumsor. Because most Ghanaians are not well informed so they believe and useless tales. Little minds do not think outside the box
It is untrue that NDC borrowed more than NPP. Don't peddle falsehood.
People just write loads of rubbish without proof. Is there any proof that the finance minister is a billionaire because he's stolen our money. This is absolute nonsense. Is it envy or witchcraft spirit. The same thing happene ...

People like this so called doctor is the reason Ghana is not developing. Who should we blame then for our economic woes? Ok we will blame your wife for our economic woes.
Another quadruple whammy whining.

Ugly, useless, senseless, shameless, gormless, corrupt, foolish, deceitful, ignorant, arrogant and primitive fool. Kwasiaa buuluubuuluuu!!!
Kwasia the finance minister has personally admitted that they over borrowed and are responsible for the current mess we find ourselves. Why are you hear to tell us this shit. Kwasia. Foolish Dr.you are.

So this FOOOL is being PAID to TEACH?
Another useless idiot
We know it is NDC propaganda but the NPP has not been able to put up any defense because Ken doesn’t release money to the MPs regardless of party.
There is also because of his influence over the president.
BOGUS Economist
INVESTIGATE his PhD. Could be fake!!
It's scary this lecturer is still at post as a lecturer. His economics is so bad. Covid exposed our structural weaknesses which were already battered by Ken's overborrowing!

I am really sorry for Ghana after going through the comments. Indeed, majority of the writers are really uninformed. So sad. We don't read and listen to current affairs therefore we are intellectually bankrupt.
Please Dr. Domfe, who is responsible for where we are, Putin?
This is disgraceful to say the least. Certainly don’t deserve the PHD.
Waa look!!
One of the fools talking pls safe this useless explanation cos ur the most stupid citizen ever to live on this land. Pls Doc ur not well so seek Mental health care.

What a dishonest intellectual. Your poor argument is nothing but instead making mockery of yourself. What about the covid funds that the government got from the IMF and the world bank? You're a disgrace to your students.
So if Ghana's economy isn't so tied in the global economy, how then does global issues affect our economy? Stomach analysis. Where people get their PhDs these days?
The wife man without hatred and political economist has spoken and nothing can change the most bitter truth that has said. God bless you unlike those kwasia bi nti by-force so called economist la.
You guys have started again, right?
Dr. "Externalist" George Domfe, was it only Ghana that was confronted with those external factors? Blame Putin for his external aggression policy and ignore your internal mismanagement.
Dr Domfe, l don't agree with you. During the COVID season countries looked within themselves. Ghana had external support, extended tax base but never looked at how to invest within its main sector to sustain its economy. Ghan ...

This man is idiot and crazy holding PhD in Ghana. We need to examine his brains as Ghanaians can not blame any one for their problems except themselves.
Then who should we blame
Mr Ken Ofori Atta's failure on vat on electricity bill was because it was not linked to any project like rural and urban electrification .
Some people speak like they are not reasoning at all why do you speak like you are not in the country
