Dr. Duffour never talked ill of anyone-His party comrades / members on the other side of the aisle. I call that mature and leadership by example. Great interview!
I have observed and listened to this gentleman throughout this interview and my conclusion is that, whiles he may have some great ideas, I think he should retire and preserve the little dignity he has till he depart this world. He is not convincing enough. The part where he started talking about we owning the government and his proposal to achieve that is not convincing enough. In anyway, I felt like he was making excuses for those politicians who steal after winning elections just because they borrowed huge amount of money from the banks. Personally I think he should be bold to make a comparing and strong statement against corruption so we can hold him to it. The moment a politician begin to polish and sugarcoat statements I become suspicious of them because they're plotting their own escape route for the future. I can't trust him. Let's look at his track record and examine it properly because we have seen some before in Nana Addo. I rest my case.
If we Ghanaians are craving for true progress for the country then we all must agree also that this time in our History and experience we must be VOTING for Presidents with a background in ECONOMICS Studies. The reason is simple, if a Prez is to appoint an Economist to take care of the country's Economy a Prez with this background can handle the Technical aspects of the country and would not be depending on manipulators who would not give correct figures. The current people in mind then falls on Dr. Bawumia and Dr. Duffour. We must necessarily be looking at this now if we're to grow as a country.
The radicals in NDC should listern to wisdom and honesty . Please watch how this man will win the admiration of Ghanaians because of his delivery,suggestions and honesty about issues on issues in the country . excellent sir!
Why is Dr. Duffour still with the NDC. I believe he will be better off if he forms his own party. I wouldn't mind voting for him if he stands as an independent candidate. I admire his calmness and honesty. A really honest man, if I should judge him by this interview.
They talk nicely,when they're not in power. Once in power, they forget their heads and hearts and rule by their whips. We need Ghanaian educated person,who understands the poverty terrain in Ghana. These western educated politicians,who have lived almost all their lives in abroad, haven't tasted poverty before, haven't known suffering to understand the plight of the palm wine tapper in the village. They come in to serve our former colonial masters' interests. We need a neutral person.
THEN WE SHOULD STOP EXHIBITING THE WESTERN TYPE OF RULERSHIP WHICH IS THIS MODERN POLITICS OF THE WEST... I THINK WITHOUT THAT, AFRICA CAN SURVIVE, BECAUSE POLITICS IS NOT PART OF OUR TRADITION AND THIS IS A FACT BECAUSE POLITICS IS ALSO BROUGHT TO US BY THE WESTERN COLONIAL MASTERS
I respect him for his great maturity. The Financial Management of Ghana is not straightforward. The worse thing is to have unpredictable external forces plus internal politics fighting your ministry.
I really like Dr Duffuor, he’s a technocrat and not political. He’s a successful businessman and is knowledgeable about turning crisis into opportunities and I can see him making strides. I like his style, very easy going interaction and solutions focused. However, I don’t see the hunger and toughness that Ghana needs. He appears to be too chilled which maybe good but we need to see his toughness, the steel and rugged personality. That shows the fighting spirit that we need as a leader.
Finally one good man, l love Dr. Duffour. I love you forever.... This is the only rescue for the beloved motherland. Let us not kill our own suffering society.
IT'S HIGHEST OF TIME FOR THE GHANAIAN PEOPLE TO DEMAND THE GOVERNMENT TO CUT DOWN ON GOVERNMENT EXPENSES. ESPECIALLY, PURCHASES OF VEHICLES JUST ABOUT EACH YEAR.
Even though I am an ardent supporter of the NPP this is the first time I am having some love for the NDC. If we could get such leaders in the NDC then all parties will be pursuing the same agenda which could move the nation forward. We won't have parties coming to destroy good policies indicated by their rivals. Well done Mr Duffour.
You lie. Hypocrites. Why wont you like him when he never gave a straight answer on anything. He speaks your kind of language. I will never vote for him when he cannot even give a straight answer on momo tax.
Massa fa wo kwasia so ho, all what he is saying is exactly what the npp is doing, first nod for npp wad kuffour look at how he speed Ghana where somebody like me begin to understand the real governance, my born son 12years and second, i never paid payed kapre, mention just one from this man party and he is corrupt, mention one kuffour project left they come to continue and remembers that was first time Ghanaians gave nod to npp to try them? So where from government continues project or policies he mentioned that makes u love what he said? Was it not these people who collapse all nkrumah factories and even sold somw of them? Didn't they see from 30years the abandoned project of nkrumah and other pre government? Maybe u didn't understand what he said.
Bravo!! Bravo!! And do not in your frustration tax the small money taxed and taxed I send to my beloved old mother, father and helpless family. Let us be a little social, Ghana is responsible for her ageing and if we in the disposal are partially doing that, then I think it will be a classic example of wickedness on the part of mother GHANA to even think of taxiing/ taking part of this money. Our sending back home this money to the Motherland is already solving part of hard needed foreign currency. Dr.'s advise is supreme and sustainable and a better long term approach.. It is done before, Ex.P. Attah did with our gas production, my dear President Nana A.A. you can do it also. We might not leave to enjoy it but our beloved nation Ghana. We are tired in disposal,we want to come back home and help build our own. You policies will enable us. Our Nation is a strong nation and God bless us people. Do not tax us and keep us here in the West.
If I understood the man well all that he has in mind is what nana addo is doing? Nana has given a level playing field for everyone to thrive. Kudos to nana 👏.
Dr Dufour is ,humble,wise,passionate,broadminded,broadside,, healthy,God fearing,simple and a leader. I highly recommend Dr Dufour for NDC flag bearer. Ghana will recover under his leadership
Do you think this man is honest This are top ranking man who has subdued the nation in their time They are men of columns of speeches like the present one This are political jargons of speeches
Very honest man, good to lead NDC not any riffraff. True economist not Seth Tekper, Mahamas pet, he's always lying. Pls don't come and beat me oooo, just an opinion
How many doctors of phd did Ghana have, but they don't even know how to build machines, even when they are seriously sick they Travel to overseas for treatment, who gave them the certificate
With what Nana Addo the much acclaimed human rights advocate and honest politician has shown the people of Ghana, I think it's too late for anyone from his generation to attempt coming to power. The people of Ghana will not make that mistake again.
HELLO!!! THE GOVERNMENT CANNOT DOUBLE TAX PEOPLE WITH E-LEVY AND AT THE SAME TIME TAX THE SAME MONEY BEING SPENT BY THE INDIVIDUAL ON GOODS WITH VALUE ADDED TAXATION.
Dr Kwabena dufour please come out boldly to contest for the candidate for the N.D.C u are far better than mahama who is using money to buy everything about the NDC.
I don't understand why the question of increasing income taxes, when we sit on a multi billion sector of the economy ,the durect property tax which nobody talks about. There are several buildings worth millions in Ghana owned by the rich which can attract huge taxes but leave them to over tax everything especially fuel that affects prices of every conceivable commodity affecting the poor. The ELevy tax will not give us enough as the property taxes would. Because the huge houses belongs to those at the top and the rich in society, nobody wants to talk about that sector.
So if they borrowed money to fund their campaigns does that give them the mandate to loot and share? Nana Addo once said “if you want to be rich , go to the private sector not in his government “ Politicians will say anything to come to power. After that business as usual. I rest my case
I agree with him to a greater extent. But there should be some innovations on sponsoring political parties in Ghana. Here is the US, the politicians do fund raising for their campaigns
This man speaks straight - no political bias. Will bring hope but not sure NDC will want him. NPP and NDC will always want a proper ELEPHANT and UMBRELLA leader.
What happened at the Marines drive , as cabinet minister what argument did he pushed forward on the energy issue in Professor Mills' government, instead of paying wrong judgement debts. Nice gentleman, but Ghana now needs honest and smart guys to lead the nation.
My honest opinion about him is he didn’t get his timing right this time by trying to compete when Ghana is now looking for a solid team to resolve issues no time for individual aspirations
This man can't make radical decisions for the country looking at how he is talking. At this point we need a young energetic, radical and principled leader to turn things around.
In order to significantly reduce the informal sector,ghana government must strive to consolidate the numerous petty traders into large departmental and supermarket store chains. Also government must eliminate archaic Cutlass and hoes farming by introducing national mechanized agriculture to keep food production with population,no more white elephant projects in ghana.
bro, i have been thinking the same thing for days if not weeks. places like Kaneshie, Makola and all the public markets should be transformed to modernized malls/markets and the traders turned into employees. this will allow for very rapid development/modernization of that sector as you stated. modernizing agriculture is a no brainer, but somehow those in charge cannot think like you. what is wrong with us kwraa?????
I can say for a fact, if NDC is bold enough to make this man their flagbearer for 2024 elections they will make a lot of inroads in Ashanti region. He's highly respected in the region but I can't tell how he'll perform in other regions.
Anka y'agyimi, have u forgetting pro mills? It just a meare talk forget him, dont forget he has been fanance minister before, that is how they talk, but the reality of the flagstar has is different massa, The first thing to well u first is selfishness and its branches. Sayaaa from pndc ndc era, mmarani mmarani sayaaaa!!!.
Infact looking at the posture and comportment of Kwabena Duffuor, he's more gentlemanly and presentable than John Mahama. Also Ghanaians have ever seen the performance of John Mahama and nothing of his tenure was impressive to talk home about. People use to say Arthur Mills and Akuffo Addo tried the presidential race and won their third attempt. But there's something different here, both Arthur Mills and Nana Akuffo Addo had not been president before and Ghanaians were curious to test their competency unlike Mahama who Ghanaians already knew all that's in him. Ghanaians have no time for trial and error for a president who had performed woefully and even in his era the new word DUMSUR was manufactured or created in the dictionary of which John Mahama cannot escape his incompetency of running a country.
Hahaha interesting indeed, pndc/ndc party members would betray him. Because he is from Ashanti region, can't you see how some people have started attacking him for no tangible reasons.
Cojo Opoku don't put yourself into trouble with this Ghana logo it stands for the country and institutions not an individual na moagyimi dodo ! It doesnt make you more Ghanaian than anyone !
@@ironlady1730 seriously! You insult me for using the coat of arms as my profile picture? What is this world turning into? I’m at a loss for words. You know what, May God forgive you.
Masa we are tired of these aquake old ones whose has nothing to offer this country. We need vibrant young and fresh minds to build the Dubai in Ghana we need.
The problem we are facing now is nowadays everyone wants to earn money without knowing how he or she got the money and that is the reason why there is confusion everywhere Every Ghanaian thinks he is more intelligent and we will all become stupid afterall
And who are those vibrant if i may ask? Afrifa, Avraham, captain smart, bobie, mogabi or these two guys in the interview? Massa w'adwene mo y3 ha. There is nothing like vibrant young guys in this country ok? Everybody including the unborn are more dangerous the the old ones, aaah but u said mahama was young, have u forgetten massa? Everything about him is a fact but there is no laws, they are above laws,anka captain smart, wayome, all is in jail by now, doing labour job, but not in Ghana here.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE WITH RESPECT, SPARE GHANAIANS OF THE ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL JARGONS. YOU AND OTHERS IN GOVERNMENT MADE CHEAP AND USELESS CONTRACTS WITHOUT STUDYING THE MODELS OF OTHERS COUNTRIES AND HOW THEY WILL HAVE BEEN VERY BENEFICIAL FOR GHANAIANS AND AFRICANS ON THE WHOLE. IF NIGERIA HAS 51%, WHY COULDN'T YOU IN GOVERNMENT SECURE MORE THAN WHAT NIGERIA ACHIEVEMENT, AND AS A PRECEDENT. YOU SELFISH GHANAIANS AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ARE ONLY FOR YOUR OWN FAMILY INTEREST, INSTEAD OF THE NATIONAL INTERESTS.
Dr. , your wish of creating a level grounds for all ghanaians to build upon is a good idea but you definately do not know how. Please support those who have the idea. Someone like Al Wahab.
When the bald guy said we should raise income tax, lol K.D looked at him is this guy an idiot, you can’t bring everyone into the formal sector most economies are 60/40informal formal finding a good strategy to always tax both sectors effectively is a good thing. In the UAE there is no income tax but it flourishes. In China the top economy in the world 44% of them work in the informal sector. Guys if you are going to sit at table with K.D come correct. That was a very silly point you made.
It just occurred to me that during Rawlings time it was this man’s signature was on Ghana money 😂😂😂 as chairman of BOG. I was a kid, Today I have grown and found out he gave ghone tv station to slay queens to manage. It’s not making any profit and he used depositors money from his bank to pay the workers at Gh1 which wansnt making any profit.
As much as I liked this man, I think he is uninformed about the greater number of people who are non Ghanaians dominating our construction industry. Ivorians doing plaster in our construction fields in Ghana? Then where are you putting the Togolese and the Benenoise? Unless everyone who speaks french is assumed to have come from the Ivory Coast as one Ghana police man had alluded one time when he was looking as a Togolese vehicle number plate and reading from a Togolese international drivers license. Lol
The NPP has collapsed Duffour's bank, so he trying to sneak into the main stream of Ghana's devastating economy to revamp his callapsed bank just like Nana Addo and Ofori Atta are currently doing to Ghanaians.
