Economist Questions Ghana's Growing Debt Despite Mineral Wealth

Economist Dr John Kwakye questions why Ghana is taking on more loans when the country is already heavily indebted and bankrupt
Parliament recently approved a $300 million loan from the World Bank aimed at supporting the First Resilient Recovery Development Policy Financing
The minority in parliament opposed the loan agreement and asked the government to withdraw its request for a tax waiver exceeding $449 million
Finance Minister Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam assured the minority the tax exemption requests would be revisited within 2 weeks
Dr Kwakye believes Ghana can go beyond foreign aid if leaders take ownership of the country's natural mineral resources
