In the post, the president of the World Bank is reported to have told the government of Ghana to stop borrowing and fix her country. The post has generated so many comments and has been shared by one other popular Ghanaian blog, Aba_the_great1. Verification:At a recent virtual Media Roundtable discussion by the World Bank for some journalists in Western and Central Africa, the president of the World Bank, David Malpas, made some observations about Ghana’s current status.
