Of course, ‘Ghana beyond aid’ is a slogan. Indeed, we can do it if we change our attitudes and behaviours and work collaboratively towards achieving that goal. Let us admit, though, all the concerns being raised by sceptics in respect of the likely challenges in our efforts to developing Ghana beyond aid are in perfect order. Regrettably, however, we now go to those countries we started life with, and beg for donations, or borrow money--do you recall the STX housing deal which was unsuccessfully pursued by Mills/Mahama administration? Perfect, that message was melodious to the ear, but have we, as a nation, managed, or in a position to do so?
