Former Minister for Information in the erstwhile Mahama administration has described as mere rhetoric, President Akufo-Addo’s Ghana beyond aid mantra.
According to him, it is a mere slogan “couched to hoodwink people into thinking that this government is unto something serious…”
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo during Ghana’s 61st Independence Day celebration reiterated his commitment to building a Ghana Beyond Aid economy. According to President Akufo-Addo, to achieve a Ghana Beyond Aid we must effectively harness our own resources and creatively and efficiently deploy them for rapid economic and social transformation.
Clarifying this statement, Deputy Minister for Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah said ‘Ghana Beyond Aid agenda is not intended to reject support from donors, but rather depend on local resources for the execution of its planned programs.
Speaking to this during a panel discussion on Radio Gold’s Alhaji and Alhaji, Felix Ofosu Kwakye said since the “ingredients that go to make up that policy propositions is completely missing”, “it means that again it is not a properly thought through initiative” and for that matter “it is just sloganeering and empty rhetoric”
“Having been confronted by the reality, you would have thought that he would adjust quickly and move away from that kind of sloganeering into the delivery of practical good and services for the people; that has not been materialised; indeed the sloganeering has intensified. It has moved a notch higher and it’s assuming unbelievable proportions…today he says there’s going to be Ghana beyond aid. The ingredients that go to make up that policy propositions is completely missing…it means that again it is not a properly thought through initiative; it is just sloganeering; empty rhetoric. The president appears to be mongering hope…what we require now in this our country is not lofty rhetoric; what we need is the delivery of the commitment that politicians make to the people. We don’t need a Winston Churchill or a John F. Kennedy to wao us with lofty rhetoric…
So clearly, it is yet another slogan couched to hoodwink people into thinking that this government is unto something serious…I have absolutely no confidence in this latest slogan of Ghana beyond aid. I am sure we have not heard the last of them; another slogan will emerge presently depending on what mood they are in when they wake up”

Hello Sir, have you heard of the Ghana-National Developmet Plan?? If Yes, Glory be to God! If No, kindly Google for it. Stop your intellectual dishonesty! Ghanaians even voted for Mahama..Tweaaa. Ghanaians don’t need to be on auto-pilot for NPP to win power....it is the Lord who make Kings! We might be arrogant because of the weak minds in NDC who don’t say anything but “They Can’t! They can’t”...FREE SHS is here to stay despite all the challenges. You people should be ashamed of yourselfs..the AMERI and SADA team.
Herr Felix, are you ok? The next time I see you in boxers at Baatsonaa Total again i will personally drag you to the mental hospital. Unfortunate former dep. Minister, a typical mistake of politics and democracy. You let me meet you there with those mosquito legs of yours in that green check boxers.
ALL CRITICS OF 'GHANA BEYOND AID' DO NOT BELIEVE IN GHANA AND GHANAIANS AND THEY HAVE SLAVERY MENTALITY! THEIR BELIEVE IS THAT GHANA CAN ONLY THRIVE WHEN FOREIGN COUNTRIES GIVE GHANA AID. HOW SAD, HOW PATHETIC FOR GHANA TO HAVE ALL THESE CRITICS AS POLITICAL LEADERS!
THIS OFOSU KWAKYE IS STILL TALKING WHEN HE DOES NOT EVEN KNOW HOW TO WEAR HIS SOCKS AND UNDERWEAR YET. WHAT DOES HE KNOW ABOUT ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD FOR HIM O TALK ABOUT ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD. THIS PRIMARY SCHOOL PUPIL SHOULD KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT, FOR HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT NOTHING.
Why are NPP members and supporters this intolerant? Ghana beyond aid has no action plan or timelines behind it so it is empty rhetoric. I challenge you to you and your government to come up with a strategy for Ghana beyond aid with targets and timelines. Then we will take you serious. Keep on with your insults. You people think all the 53% of Ghanaians that voted for you are on autopilot. 2020 will shock you if you guys continue with such your arrogant and condensending posture to criticisms.
There goes the vision-less bunch of st*u*p*i*d 1diots. The only thing they are competent in is ***barred word*** of state coffers and insults. Noting is possible for the NDC except thi*e*v*ery. This 1diot too was a deputy minister and only spewed vitriolic acid on his opponents. I hope he can see how decorous the current ministers and their deputies carry themselves. Now that your rigging machine has been demolished, we shall see where you will pass to impose your dirty selves on us to loot again. Dirty 1diot!
HERE THEY GO AGAIN. THE CAN NEVER DO BRIGADE. THE IT'S NOT POSSIBLE BUNCH. WHILST PEOPLE WITH VISION ARE DREAMING BIG, THE CREATE,LOOT AND SHARE BRIGADE ARE SHOUTING ON ROOF TOPS SAYING IT IS ONLY SLOGAN. PATHETIC LOT.
Aha,aha, aha! That is NDC for you on anything that will make the poor Ghanaian happy! They do NOT wish the poor in Ghana to enjoy in anyway. All they know is CREATE, LOOT & SHARE so that the poor will be poorer!
