It’s a painful irony when a country so rich in natural resources, gold, oil, bauxite, lithium, etc still has to borrow heavily just to stay afloat, and worse, citizens often don’t feel the benefits of those loans.

Why should we be celebrating loans when we should be using our own wealth?
Debt trap: Previous bad loans keep piling up, and new ones are taken to pay off old ones! it’s a cycle.
IMF loans come with conditions often involving austerity measures, which hurt ordinary people more than the elites.
Across Africa, we’ve seen massive loan disbursements disappear into private pockets while hospitals, roads, and schools remain underfunded.
Africa, Africa, Africa, my motherland, your children (the ones affected by these) cry for you

GOLD AND DIAMONDS SMUGGLING OUT OF GHANA DID NOT START TODAY. IT'S A DECADES-OLD PRACTICE. GHANA'S ECONOMY HAS BEEN BLEEDING PROFUSELY SINCE 1957. 10 months ago
NOISE WILL NOT PUNISH GOLD SMUGGLERS. ARRESTS, JAIL TIME AND ASSETS CONFISCATION WILL. GHANA'S CROOKED LEADERS ONLY MAKE NOISE ABOUT TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF GOLD SMUGGLED OUT OF GHANA TO DUBAI AND THE WEST.

ATO FORSON KNOWS EXACTLY WHO THE "BIG TIME" GOLD SMUGGLERS ARE, BUT FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, HE PRETENDS HE DOESN'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE.
THE "BIG TIME" GOLD SMUGGLERS ARE TOP GHANAIAN BUSINESSMEN AND WOMEN, SUCCESSIVE LOCAL CHIEFS, GHANAIAN POLITICANS AND PASTORS FRAUDULENTLY USING GHANA'S DIPLOMATIC PASSPORTS AND THE VVIP/VIP LOUNGES AT KOTOKA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. SOME EVEN USE PRIVATE JETS TO SMUGGLE OUT GHANA'S GOLD.
THE REST ARE INDIANS AND OTHER SOUTH ASIAN BUSINESSMEN/WOMEN OPERATING IN GHANA, CHINESE, NIGERIANS, SYRIANS AND LEBANESE, PERIOD. THESE ARE THE BIG TIME GOLD SMUGGLERS.
IF ATO FORSON IS PRETENDING HE DOES NOT KNOW THEM, I'VE NAMED THEM FOR HIM TO PURSUE THOSE CRIMINALS, INCLUDING THE LIKES OF WONTUMI AND MANY OTHERS.
GHANA'S ECONOMY HAS BEEN BLEEDING PROFUSELY SINCE 1957. WHY IS AKWATIA, KNOWN FOR MASSIVE DIAMOND RESERVES, STILL A DEPRIVED GHOST TOWN AND A VILLAGE? THE SAME APPLIES TO PRESTEA FOR GOLD. GHANA'S SUCCESSIVE LEADERS HAVE BEEN LOOTING THE ROYALTIES MEANT FOR BRINGING MODERN INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT TO THE MANY MINING AREAS IN BANKRUPT GHANA, THEN THEIR NEXT STOP IS THE IMF BEGGING FOR MORE LOANS TO LOOT AND DUMP THE REPAYMENTS ON POOR ORDINARY GHANAIANS TO FORK OUT IN HIGH STATUTORY TAXES, LEVIES AND KILLER PRICE LEVELS OF FUEL AND OTHER CONSUMER PRODUCTS.
GOLD AND DIAMONDS SMUGGLING OUT OF GHANA DID NOT START TODAY. IT'S A DECADES-OLD PRACTICE.

You dont need IMF $370m. Very small amount in relation to the value of gold proceeds from Goldbod operations. What you need is corruption free and disciplined governance. After over 60 years of independence is it too much to ask for. Ghana is great at talking and holding conferences and seminars but that needs to translate into Ghana actually being smart not just looking and driving in fancy cars smart.
