Mills \u201chas invested heavily in cleaning up the image of the country\u201d  and is ready to take off with infrastructural development.<br \/>\nMr.  Anyidoho who was speaking on Asempa FM said President Mills has spent  the past two years cleaning up the image of the country and ridding the  country of drug barons and cartels. He said even though the President is  keen to attract investment into the country, he is more interested in  building a country with integrity and under his administration, Ghana  continues to attract \u201cclean and good money\u201d due to the extensive fight  against drugs.<br \/>\nMr. Anyidoho who was speaking ahead of President  Mills\u2019 planned meeting with senior journalists and media practitioners  on Friday, also touched on the recent petroleum price hikes which have  been met with some agitations from businesses and political  organizations.<br \/>\nHe explained that prior to the 2008 elections,  then candidate Mills promised to reduce petroleum prices based on the  prevailing circumstances at the time. He said the ruling government at  the time claimed it could not do anything about the prices but quickly  reduced same after the first round of elections. He added that the  reduction made at the time was very significant and therefore did not  need any further downward adjustments.<br \/>\nMr. Anyidoho further  stated that President is heartbroken when prices of crude go up,  explaining that if there was another way to cushion the citizens from  the effect of the increases without crippling the economy, the president  would have taken that option. He insisted however that the president  was not going to take a decision that would win him political points at  the expense of a robust economy.<br \/>\nOn taxation, Mr. Anyidoho said  if the government is going to give the nation better infrastructure,  there is a need to increase the threshold of taxes. He said raising  taxes in itself is not a bad thing as most developed social democratic  nations such as Denmark and Finland have managed their economies  efficiently with taxes and still continue to dole out money to  developing countries.<br \/>\nHe hinted that the increases in taxes will  go to support the Single Spine Salary Structure for public servants in  the country, thereby mitigating the harsh effects of the taxes.<br \/>\nMr.  Anyidoho said in 2009, President Mills laid the foundation for a  successful take-off and in 2010, the government created a conducive  environment for growth. He reiterated the President\u2019s point that 2011  will be a year of action which will witness tremendous infrastructural  development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Communication Director at the Office of the President, Koku Anyidoho, has stated that President J.E.A.
