I believe the building has elevators available for their use. As she said, the stairs are good for them as their job promotes a sedentary lifestyle; therefore, it will serve as a means of exercise for them. It’s a fantastic idea.

So why couldn't they build the cathedral?

[@ismeea5360]

The Cathederal was sabotaged by NDC. They wanted to do the same to this but couldn't succeed because it was too late. They called it names, from scam, to being a house of Satan, built out of lies, inciting the entire population on the president, the board. Their MP made sure no fund from the state is used for the project. The board turned to private fir fund, and these evil people still discourage people from donating. These same people, after achieving their aim, are niw calling the president names, that he deceived God, he built the biggest hole etc. Isn't this an act of witchcraft? Politics is a dirty game, but if a country reaches a point where and opposition has to sabbotage every development by the government, then we have a long way to go. Almost every policy by this government faced similar fate.

[@Nanack]

@ USA owes Japan $1.3 trillion, $776 billion to China and $743 billion to the United Kingdom. Are you sure they always borrow from their own people? Not so fast! The economies of developed nations are more formal and so they’re able to collect more taxes, which is their primary source of revenue. Ours is mostly informal and so the absolute majority don’t pay taxes, hence the NEED to borrow. Nothing wrong with borrowing as long as you spend it wisely.

[@ToarickOfficial]

​​@@NanackYou forgot about the reserves those developed nations used before they borrow?, when you borrow you've to use it for industrial development not this and you have to know that the Ghana that we're now does not need all this what we need is a system that we can use to extract our own wealth do develop this nation with so that we won't be victims and our resources won't be collateral for the IMF and the world Bank. Ask Cuba 🇨🇺 how they did it without the IMF👌

[@Nanack]

@ Maybe, but please don’t use Cuba as an example! Apart from its health care system, Cuba remains one of the poorest countries in Latin America. Reserves? Of course we have enough reserves commensurate with constitutional requirements. Not sure what you mean by “we don’t need all of this.” If you’re referring to the new B of G building, respectfully, you’re so wrong! Changing times and needs require upgrading and sometimes that means building to suit those needs. And the central bank plays such a pivotal role in the economy that every penny spent on her is worth it. BTW, have you considered that they can rent out or sell the old complex?
