Former President John Agyekum Kufuor on Tuesday sent a New Year message to Ghanaians in which he said it gave him great joy that the nation would enter the 2014 in peace and tranquility. He said in a message signed by his Spokesperson, Mr Frank Agyekum, that 2013 was challenging and many were those who saw doom in the horizon. �Once again the Ghanaian spirit of tolerance and good naturalness has endured. We must be thankful to God for his mercies and grace on us,� the message said. It said 2014 could be a challenging one as tariff increases on utility services begin to bite and put an added strain on the already over-burdened Ghanaian and urged the government to take a critical look at its fiscal and monetary policies to rationalize the economy. �Ghana is a land of plenty: Rich in Gold, Oil, Gas, Timber and highly endowed human capacity, among others. We should make all Ghanaians feel a part of the governance process and together build a nation worthy of its billing as being at the �centre of the earth,� the message said. "Once again the Ghanaian spirit of tolerance and good naturalness has endured. We must be thankful to God for his mercies and grace on us".
