If I was to advise the government to take some drastic measures, like I’ll recommend for the following social interventions to be suspended immediately and all monies pumped in other productive sectors of the economy and let’s see what the impact will be.
- suspend the FSHS
- suspend the School feeding program
- Suspend the teacher and nursing trainees allowances
- suspend the PFJ 5. suspend NABCO
Since most Ghanaians are not appreciating the above interventions and are complaining about hardships, it will be very prudent for government to put those monies into other productive areas of the economy. We can save about 5 — 6 billion if we decide to take the above actions and channel all this monies into other sectors of the economy. Government can decide use half this amount to support the youth and the other half to support existing agro processing and domestic products manufacturing industries for the next 3 years and let’s see the results.
