when will incompetent Mahama come out to say that we have done this than to always say we will do something always building castles in the air. since u came into power u havent done nothing significant the dollar appreciation is a scam many people r beginning to realize the world price of petrol has gone down that's why our petrol price is ok. What new thing have u introduced? Npp brought free shs,Nhis,School feedind,Ghana Card,House address,Drip a whole lot u promised 24 hr economy where is it u promised no fees for university first year students where is it. Incompetent Mahama because of the fake dollar appreciation u r now a Messiah. Very soon everything will be clear

Frankly, that is precisely what Nkrumah said over 60 4ucking years ago. Trouble is; Venal and ignoble Kofi Busia and his bunch of twits did not see it that way.

To refine more raw materials in Ghana is fine, but will it be competitive? I guess Mahama is thinking of doing the processing steps in order to make cocoa liquor in Ghana. The plan entails producing much more cocoa liquor than is consumed in Ghana, and hence it has to be sold in the world market - as the coca beans are today.

So the question is: What is the processing margin? How much more is the world market paying for cocoa liquor than cocoa beans?

Furthermore, cocoa liquor is not a uniform product. It varies in taste, sweetness, bitterness etc. Some variants attract higher prices.

Combines with the stupid currency policy - designed to make domestic production unprofitable - I fear the coca refinement will got the way of the Ghanean oil refineries: It will have to be subsidised by the state, or worse: By the cocoa farmers. Expect the cocoa refineries to pay even less than Cocobod, to pay late or not to pay their bills at all.

If refining cocoa in Ghana was profitable, we would have those refineries here by now. The reason they are not here, is the overvalued Cedi policy and uncertainty created by corruption and government interference.

So what's you opinion? We should continue on the same path? Good to disagree but even better to offer alternatvies. What's your suggestion?

Some steps taken by many of our regimes killed domestic industries. Many factories collapsed during the revolution. Even recently many one district one factory projects are dying. Let's adopt policies that will foster growth.

Gyimii, nobody in his/her right sense will pump $10billion to shore up the cedi and do you know what that money can do in Ghana? It can construct all our roads to asphaltic level, and your Mahama being stupid, just used it as cosmetic on the cedi, and he is now crying for what? Are you normal?

Think like a normal human and stop following NDC like housefly that had smelled something that stinks.

That's the way to go our champion. Move on and let the sleeping ones lie on. Right away I'm personally going to run away with this idea: Done with Planning, on with implementation starting tomorrow, Monday 16/02/2026. Thank you Mr president for inspiring me and millions of other Ghanaians. God be with you. Ghana loves you.

Most of those projects didn't last because they were rushed through for political expediency rather than for genuine desire for national development. Hence no proper Planning and execution. Another core factor is corruption. And it's for this reason that some of us are calling for full accountability by government appointees past and present so that good genuine government policies can be successfully implemented for the benefit of ALL. Yet, when people are called to account for their stewardship we the same cheated and duped masses rather picket the courts premises demanding their release. What a people we are.

What do they care about the food you cook in your kitchen. Ghana’s presidents talk too much. Their mouths are their downfall. The imperialist is not happy about your economic successes so, he doesn't wish you well. Nkrumah’s lectures attracted the CIA to overthrow him. Akufo Addo’s big talks of Ghana beyond aid lead him the IMF. Can’t you guys do things in the quiet?

This is what Ghana and Africa needs most. Leaders taking the bull by the horns to solve their countries' problems. Western countries will never help african countries to develop. All they need from Africa are markets to sell their products and raw materials to feed their factories. Mahama's transformational policies are good for the development of Ghana. To quote Akuffo-Addo ' Y3te sika so nso yedi hia'.(We are sitting on money yet we are poor.) Over to you Mahama!! No more ghanaians sitting on money and. be poor,please.

The government should aggressively pursue the policy of processing our cocoa locally, after all, we have the processing plant available to do that, there is no need to waste time, just get on with the job. Also, we should make it illegal to export raw materials out of Ghana, this is the only language that the cartel, who had been stealing our lunch since independent will understand, and move those manufacturing companies to Ghana. The abuse of 5 to 12 percent royalty for Ghana is coming to an end, we have had enough of being slaves, monkeys as it's privately referred to, corruption in our country by design is being dismantled at source overnight. Thank God, thank Jehovah God, that our leaders are now working instead of sleeping on the job since independent.
