Politics of Tuesday, 13 September 2016Source: kasapafmonline.comNDC didn’t sabotage Ghana becoming a tax haven dream - Gov’tSeth Terkper, Finance MinisterThe Mahama-led government has dismissed claims by ex-President J.A Kufour that it deliberately blocked Ghana from becoming a financial hub in Africa, including the plan to establish an off-shore bank in the country. “If the election of 2008 had come my way, that is if my side had won, then the many things we put on course would have matured. For instance at that point we had secured the partnership of Barclays International to do an off-shore banking here in Ghana. “The way that policy was handled led to Ghana being blacklisted for money laundering and we had to take laws to Parliament. Ghana was going to be managed as a tax haven but things were not done well.”
