Bawumia only tells lies and jokes. He's no good to crisis-hit Ghana. For solutions: industries, jobs and cash, VOTE ALAN PRESIDENT!!! GHANA WILL RISE AGAIN!!!

Bawumia has no solutions for the crisis-hit economy. But for the last-ditch, crucial, advice from Alan Kyerematen, to seek IMF's bridge loan, Ghana's economy would have totally collapsed by now, with riots and looting in the streets. THANK GOD FOR ALAN GHANAIANS, GET READY: VOTE ALAN PRESIDENT. GHANA WILL RISE AGAIN.

President Nana Addo is an inspiration not just to the Ghanians but for all of us Africans. His life, his politics, and indeed his humanitarianism is an admirable model. Wishing him Allah's continued blessings here and hereafter. He is one leader I find truly patriotic and public-spirited.

❤❤❤❤🎉😊😊😊

Ghanaians are always lucky to have good presidents but the citizens are the problem more than half of the population are lazy.

And yet ghana port authority still take cash at de bank. People have to use agdnts to clear goods. May be he join the wrong leader (Akuffo Addo)

This is theory. . How can you compet when you are are hungry. He is eurocentric. . It will be difficult for him to implement all what he is outlining.

No more book long again in Ghana.. we need action man Ken...No Ken no vote...

I AM WHO I AM. I'M an AFRICAN AMERICAN And in RESPECT TO The Vice president who spoke about The Energy sector! I would like too say on that subject, what about Africans solving our problems? There is an African who created an Airplane and car only using Energy being harnessed by Radio waves! I believe we should protect our Brilliant Minds and do like you said about Investing in our Future with our Children's mind and receiving God's Gifts that are given to us through these Wonderful Mind's. Let's Harness wat God has given them and We won't have too spend billions of dollars on Energy when The MOST HIGH GIVES US BLESSINGS LIKE THESE MIND'S!

Promoting scammers LOL

Arise Ghana Youth for KEN

Fantastic interview

We cannot keep exporting our natural resources in their raw state. It is time for Africa to start adding value to their raw materials on the continent and build industries, create jobs, improve local skills and talents and grow the economy.

27:42 This is why the African Union (AU) needs to operate through a system of supranational institutions and intergovernmental-negotiated decision making by the member states. It should aim to bring about the coordination of member states' economic policies, a single market in which goods and people move freely, and common policies on trade, agriculture, fisheries, and regional development. Here are some of the key areas of integration the African Union should adopt: Economic integration: The AU should have a single market, which means that goods, services, capital, and people can move freely between member states. The AU should also have a common currency, the afro, which should be used by the 54 member states. Political integration: The AU should have a number of common institutions, including the African Parliament, the Council of the African Union, and the African Commission. These institutions will make decisions on a range of issues, including trade, agriculture, and foreign policy. Legal integration: The AU should have a common legal framework, which is based on the treaties that established the AU and on the decisions of the AU's courts. This legal framework will ensure that there is a level playing field for businesses and individuals across the AU. Social integration: The AU should have a number of policies that aim to promote social integration. These policies will aim to create a more cohesive and inclusive society within the AU. Cultural integration: The AU should have a number of policies that aim to promote cultural integration. These policies will aim to create a more diverse and vibrant cultural landscape within the AU. One single Currency: African Union needs to create a single currency. Some of the benefits include: Increased trade and investment: A single currency would make it easier for businesses to trade and invest across Africa. This would help to boost economic growth and create jobs. Reduced transaction costs: A single currency would reduce the cost of exchanging currencies. This would make it cheaper for businesses to do business with each other and for consumers to buy goods and services from other countries. Increased price stability: A single currency would help to stabilize prices across Africa. This would make it easier for businesses to plan for the future and for consumers to budget their spending. Enhanced financial integration: A single currency would help to integrate Africa's financial markets. This would make it easier for businesses to raise capital and for investors to access new markets. Increased political cooperation: A single currency would be a symbol of unity and cooperation among African countries. This could help to promote peace and stability on the continent. Increased political influence: A single currency would give Africa a greater voice on the world stage. This could help to promote Africa's interests and to achieve its development goals. Increased foreign investment: A single currency would make Africa a more attractive destination for foreign investment. This would bring in new capital and help to boost economic growth. Increased bargaining power: A single currency would give African countries more bargaining power in international trade negotiations. This could help to secure better deals for African exports. Attracts tourists. A single African currency can make it easier for tourists to travel to different parts of the continent. This can lead to increased tourism, which can help to boost economic growth.

26:48 There are several benefits for African countries to add value to their rare minerals, natural resources, and raw materials rather than simply exporting them: Economic Diversification: By adding value to their resources, African countries can diversify their economies beyond reliance on commodity exports. This reduces vulnerability to price fluctuations in global commodity markets and helps foster a more stable and sustainable economic base. Job Creation: Value addition processes often require skilled labor, technology, and infrastructure, which can create employment opportunities. By moving up the value chain, African countries can generate more jobs, reduce unemployment rates, and improve the livelihoods of their citizens. Increased Revenue: When raw materials are processed and transformed into higher-value products, their market price tends to increase. This can result in higher export earnings and revenue for African countries, contributing to economic growth and development. Technology Transfer and Skills Development: Value addition processes often require advanced technology, knowledge, and expertise. By engaging in these activities, African countries can attract foreign investment, promote technology transfer, and develop local skills and capabilities in various industries. Industrial Development: Developing industries that add value to natural resources can contribute to the growth of a country's manufacturing sector. This promotes industrialization, diversifies the economy, and helps build a more robust and self-sufficient industrial base. Sustainable Development: Adding value to resources can support sustainable development practices. African countries can prioritize environmentally friendly and socially responsible methods of resource utilization, ensuring long-term sustainability while minimizing negative impacts on the environment and local communities. Knowledge and Innovation: Engaging in value addition activities requires research, innovation, and knowledge generation. This can stimulate scientific and technological advancements within African countries, fostering a culture of innovation and contributing to their overall development. Increased economic development: By adding value to their resources, African countries can create more jobs and boost their economies. Reduced dependence on foreign aid: By generating more revenue from their own resources, African countries can reduce their reliance on foreign aid. Increased self-reliance: By adding value to their resources, African countries will be able to become more self-reliant and less vulnerable to fluctuations in the global market. Improved environmental sustainability: By processing their own resources, African countries can reduce the environmental impact of exporting raw materials. Overall, by adding value to rare minerals, natural resources, and raw materials, African countries can unlock significant economic, social, and environmental benefits, leading to more inclusive and sustainable development.

5:13 US and China are racing for who can exploit the most rare minerals for advanced weapon development, energy and etc. Africa holds 30% of the worlds rare earth minerals.

I remember sending an email back in 2005 to Ask where i could find an issue of Trace and Claude replied himself.

Brilliant!

No tough questions.

Great man with great vision

Brilliant

He is in charge of the country today. What has he done apart from lies.

Dr Bawumia all the way positive man

Funny the comments section is lined up with sycophants praising this very lousy guy who just like his boss the president of Ghana says one thing to the media and practices another thing. Is this not the same guy that has superintended the collapse of the Ghanaian economy such that the country is basically on its knees only hanging on to hopes of an IMF bailout? Now Ghana is in the league of Sri Lanka and Zambia with highly unsustainable debt levels underpinned by corruption and wasteful public expenditure instead of real capital projects of a self financing nature. Ghana is facing an environmental and water crisis as the current government is complicit in overseeing the destruction of forests and waterbodies through illegal mining by persons with strong ties to government. You know what happens when you leave a toddler in an empty room with a bucket of paint and brush? Complete mess - that is the situation in Ghana now, galloping inflation on the back of currency printing by the central bank, falling value of the cedi, corruption everywhere, wastage of all the funds accrued during the covid 19 pandemic. These guys can barely point to anything positive since 2020 when they were re-elected. It will be good for the Africa Policy Journal to focus on persons driving real change on the continent rather than persons that pretend to do so.

Good interview - quite academic. Would be good to understand progress as far with his time in power. He needs not to convince other intellectuals but the average Ghanaian and African

Empty Bawumia The fundamentals of the economy expose you. After all the lectures in opposition see the mess you created with your So-called solid team when have the opportunity

He can do better than Nana Addo

very deep thinking.....

We pray Bawumia delays his Presidency aim so we can use him more in what he is good at in the area of digitalisation for Ghana and Africa as a whole for the next 4 to five years. That is why I have suggested NPP to adapt Ken to enhance the economic Leadership to Business Administration in the next five years. Where as Bawumia remains in his area as the best Vice President to handle what he is best to achieve for Ghana then we could bring Him on to make Ghana as one of the greatest in Africa. Think about this great idea for Ghana. Thanks

Very intelligent and innovative, he knows the way Africa should go to develop, shift from natural resources to human capital and digitalisation.

Which of all the he said in 2015 and 2016 did he fulfill or working. Governing is not about reading books and pour. The economy has exposed his incompetent and lie's. You can read all the books but if you lack faithfulness and truth, you will abandoned it, and galamsey money laundering will be your option.

This man thinks that having a European degree could do the job far from that

Only NPP can solve our problems

Politicians know the truth and the fact about the economy but when it comes to practice they do it to their own interests.💔

They are ready to pay for the tractor to plough for them but in the farming season they hardly find one

Very brilliant veep. The main problem farmers in the Naadema community located in Builsa South constituency face over the years is lack of farm tractors.

Excellent Man

Show real stats digitalisation eveluate what is on the ground? Taxes on mobile money transactions which he said should never be done. digitalisation is working for politicians.

why is he talking about africa?

All talk, no substance

Bawumia is our Lee Kuan Yew ,we will try him. Our problem all this whiles is Ofori and his Boss Akuffo Addo

BRILLIANT. People should remember this Dr. was The Best Economics Student in his University in England, with incredible CV to match that. He was also sent to Zimbabwe to help with their Economy, and Mugabi loved him so much. The next President of Ghana, the Future.

Excellent

truth.....Bawumia is way ahead of his other contenders

7:46 not only natural resources but human resources as well.

Great interview.

Nobody can stop Dr Bawumia to become president 🙏🙏 🙏🙏

Great Man ✌️✌️✌️ Dr Bawumia No Size

Deep thoughts

Our current system is so polluted that, I now wonder whether we will get to try this intelligent man with a clear vision. he speaks of how to sustainably move this country from the doldrums and is clear on the how aspect. great one
