The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has stressed that interventions from Bretton Woods institutions such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have not in any way transformed the recipient nations.
He asserted that it was unfortunate for Ghana, blessed with natural resources, to go cup in hand to the IMF for the 17th time seeking financial assistance to stabilize the economy.
Mr Bagbin was speaking at a public forum in Ho in the Volta Region to commemorate Ghana’s three decades of parliamentary democracy.
He, therefore, advocated for the formulation of a national development plan, through an inclusive approach where citizens would be allowed to make input so they can own the plan.
