Towards A Prosperous Post-COVID-19 Era In Ghana

Has the time not come, for it to be made clear to our ruling élites, that they ought to tell ordinary  Ghanaians, what disaster could possibly befall Mother Ghana, were  all Ghanaian families to be issued with  Bank of Ghana (BOG) Digital Cedis (DGC), to the tune of 250,000 each, to purchase  homes in new well-planned and well-built green cities (which will replace all our nation's urban slums), with, I ask?


The plain truth, is that it will be well-nigh impossible, to revive our national economy, after the defeat of the COVID-19 pandemic, in our country - if we don't adopt a radical approach to nation-building, in  the post-COVID-19 era: one that sets us on a course to developing a new green-economy, which empowers those in our base-of-the-pyramid demographic,  to bootstrap their way out of  the poverty-trap, to prosperity. 


A citizen-bailout will be the key to unlocking the undoubted creativity, and unbounded enregies, which most Ghanaians are blessed with, and will utilise, when given the once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity, which that citizen-bailout, represents. 


In addition to crediting each digital account for families, with the DGC250O, 000 per household;  they must, perforce, also all be issued with tax identification numbers (TIN),  to enable Ghana's tax net to be widened dramatically. 


Naturally,  in order to widen the tax net, we must set tax rates - for both individuals and enterprises,  at what should be the lowest in the world, bar none,  to create a culture of entrepreneurship in our homeland Ghana, and put our nation on the world map, that way. Cool.


And,  above all, we must make the agricultural sector tax-free, ban all inorganic fertilisers and synthetic chemicals used in farming in Ghana,  and, instead, use Apostle Kojo Safo-Kantanka's natural folair fertilisers and organic growth mediums, to transform farming in Ghana, into a sector that produces only  certified organic  agricultural produce, to boost our immune systems,  and make ours  a healthy society.
