Former Minister of Food and Agriculture and a flagbearer hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Afriyie Akoto says his policies and ideas will set the country's economy on the right path.
Speaking in a one-on-one interview on Peace FM's Morning show 'Kokrokoo' Dr Afriyie Akoto said: "I have the requisite knowledge to develop this country and there will be no need for us to go to the IMF every now and then. In sixty-six (66) years of this country, we have gone to the IMF seventeen (17) times and it is all due to one thing; our development is being financed by debt. So long as we continue to rely on debt to finance our development, we will go to the IMF umpteenth time but we have the capacity to generate our own foreign exchange and fiscal revenue to fund industrialization, to fund health, to fund education, infrastructure; all the things that we can do"
Host of the programme, Kwami Sefa Kayi then asked him (Afriyie Akoto) why he didn't use his ideas and policies to help President Akufo-Addo's administration.
