MAGA - Making Arsenal Great Again

We need to get our normal lives back so let's educate Ghanaians on how to live with Covid-19 - physical distancing, personal hygiene protocols, hand washing, etc.

Brent crude futures @ $80. Wahala don't come.

Even when Prof Atuguba was Executive Secretary to JM, and the country went through years of painful dumsor, Ghana wasn't prime for a coup.

May-June E-levy revenue was 93.7M out of a programmed 1.46B. How about lowering the rate to, say, 0.5% and widening the coverage? Food for thought.

S & P's credit downgrade of Ghana has come at a very critical time. Their decision largely reflects our worsening fiscal and external balance sheets. 1/2

Our debt crisis could degenerate into a bigger economic crisis if help does not come our way quickly. We need to tie down a Fund program as soon as practicable in order for us to be able to restructure our debt. Another food for thought. 2/2

In the midst of the currency crisis, should the government default in making payments to international creditors, or stop making forex available for the importation of crude, food and essential medicines? Food for thought.

A safe pair of hands: Prof Gyan Baffour

Your short-term government bill (91-day, 182-day, etc) cannot be touched in a debt restructuring as per international law. Rest easy.

On the domestic debt exchange: 1. Pay all accrued coupons 2. Exempt pensions of public sector workers (about 27B) 3. Exempt Collective Investment Schemes (about 5B)

Walk in the park for our Arsenal

For once let's do the right thing. Our government intends to build three new Training Colleges in 2013. This is what I call total waste!

Our country needs to move on. The supreme court must have a sense of urgency to conclude this election petition ASAP. Another 4-day break?

In 2014 gov't will spend 10.6 bn on compensation and 6.1 bn on loan repayments. But tax revenue for the year is projected at 20 bn. asem!

Mahama sees nothing wrong with an escalating debt/GDP ratio so he says he's going on a borrowing spree. What a wrong signal to send to FITCH

I said SADA was a fraud being perpetrated on the Ghanaian people. God bless your soul, Manasseh Azure.

An economic forum is in the offing. Meantime, JM and the NDC insist we are not in crisis. How then can we offer the right prescription?

Isn't it strange that almost every recognizable group believes Governor Wampah has failed? We need to have proper research back at BoG.

With the GH economy in shambles, we are rather talking about the infighting in the NPP. Can't all of us, for once, suppress our egos?
