    @ Thomas
    A sick mind. U think a grant is a gift. A grant is a loan without an interest, it's still going to add up to pile of loans we've collected since HIPC.

    No serious President would go in for small monies.A Visionary always goes in for big things. That's what can change our economic status.

    Today NPP act like they don't know the difference between loan and grant. Or maybe you don't, you uneducated fools. Your government took this country to its knees (junk status) because of all the useless loans you took.
