Ghana is not broke-Finance Minister
Audrey Micah, Ghanadot

Accra, Jan 29, Ghanadot - The Minister of Finance-designate, Dr. Kwabena Duffuor has stated that contrary to suggestions by sections of the government, the country is not broke.

According to him, the country is facing temporarily difficult challenges that could, and must be resolved.

In recent times, there have been claims and counter claims by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) about the true state of the economy with the NDC arguing the country is broke and the NPP saying the opposite.

The minister of Finance-designate said the biggest problem of the country is the fact that it lives beyond its means, stressing the need for waste cutting.

Dr. Duffuor who was a former governor of the Central Bank said he would work to motivate the public sector to work hard and increase productivity.

To him, if the public sector under-performs, then government’s plans and objectives cannot be achieved. Making the public sector more viable will help the country tremendously, he said.

Dr. Duffuor hinted the need to increase food production so that the country can reduce its food imports.

He disclosed that he was aware “no one has all the answers to the” country’s economic problems and will welcome anybody who wishes to share ideas with him on the way forward.
