Private attorney Kwame Jantuah has voiced displeasure at the government for making economic decisions that seem to negatively affect the people of the country.
He questioned how government officials like President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, former Agriculture Minister Akoto Osei, and others could get any sleep when they were aware that some of their policies were causing more harm than good.
He thinks it’s absurd that Ghana imports onions and other food stuffs from other African countries like Nigeria, Niger, and Burkina Faso.
In an interview with TV3, Kwame Jantuah said that “I wonder whether the President sleeps well, I wonder whether the Minister for Agriculture sleeps well, I wonder whether the Speaker of Parliament sleeps well and I wonder whether a lot of people in the NPP sleep well. How can we spend 36 to 40 million in dollars on importing onions? From Niger, from Nigeria, from Burkina Faso?”
Mr. Jantuah went on to inquire as to why the land in Ghana is being wasted. In order to boost the country’s internal revenue, very few of these native commodities are imported. “Don’t we have soil in Ghana? Isn’t there a way we can get people to grow onions for us to eat? “We have to import? Spend money? I don’t understand it,” he added.
