Too much cash for Bawumia's junketting-with-no-aim urge. Why not get him a private jet at once for us to know traveling is what he's elected for? God, what have we done to merit i6iots for leaders?
Wild goose chase, cluelessh as usual.
this has always been our problem...... technology does not only mean those MAGA corporations he will be visiting. at present Ghana needs technical engineers to build machines ( for examples machines for factories and the rest). this computer and software gym will not do us any good at the present where millions are unemployed. as a concern citizen living and working in China, i have the desire to have this engineering company in Ghana but my biggest fear is the Ghana ports and how they will handle me yet the vice president will go outside to seek this your guys in California to go to Ghana and invest with duty free on their imports and also little or no tax. Me as a Ghanaian my fears would never be addressed because and a Ghanaian and must be subjected to Ghana ports humiliations.... we live to see
