He now believes in the Chinese and his claim that Ghana would be independent of foreign aid is laughable\u201d, he observed.<\/p>\n<p>The President has on several occasions with Ghanaians in the Diaspora reiterated his determination to stop the over reliance on foreign partners to finance the country\u2019s budget by ensuring that the citizens do so from their own resources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo you will be hearing a great deal about the Ghana that I am seeking with your support that is a Ghana beyond aid. A Ghana that will free itself from a mindset of dependence, of charity, of aid and handouts. The Ghana that is going to mobilise its own resources to develop and confront its own problems,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>But Mr Gyamfi who is skeptical about the President\u2019s promise wondered why he will rather be taking decisions that seek to cripple wholly owned Ghanaian companies and handover projects they are embarking on to the Chinese citing bauxite deposits in the country as an example.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the man who says he wants to rule Ghana beyond aid but is the same person who is  in a haste  to give Ghana\u2019s bauxite deposits  to the Chinese for a pittance; it smacks of double standards and I  do not see his resolve being achieved with such a mentality\u201d, he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, claims that former President John Dramani Mahama gave 58% of the country\u2019s bauxite to his brother is mere propaganda by elements within the current government to make Exton Cubic look bad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Nyinahin bauxite concessions are in three villages and were discovered several decades ago. A number of foreign companies have tried to exploit the bauxite to no avail and no one claimed they took 58% of the country\u2019s bauxite.  In 2005 Aluminum Company of America tried and nobody said anything about 58%.  In 2008 was the turn of Aluminum Company of Canada 2008-ALCAN they could also not do it and again nobody mentioned anything about 58%.  Finally a Russian Company VINETCO between 2010 and 2013 tried without success before Exton Cubic came in 2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He wondered why under the previous companies nothing was mentioned about 58% of the entire bauxite deposits of the country only to turn the heat on Exton Cubic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must learn to support our own because Exton Cubic is a wholly Ghanaian Company if the president is committed to ruling Ghana beyond aid. We have gold and oil in Ghana, find out how much is Ghana\u2019s stake in each of them\u201d he challenged.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 32 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Business News of Monday, 11 December 2017 Source: mynewsgh.com 2017-12-11 President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo Spokesperson of Exton Cubic, Samuel Gyamfi is worried that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is seeking to govern the country independent of foreign aid but his decisions regarding its natural resources prove otherwise. \u201cAkufo-Addo no longer believes in Ghana but [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":445704,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-445703","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Akufo-Addo now believes in China than Ghana - Sammy Gyamfi - Ghanamma.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2017\/12\/11\/akufo-addo-now-believes-in-china-than-ghana-sammy-gyamfi\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Akufo-Addo now believes in China than Ghana - Sammy Gyamfi - Ghanamma.com\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"Business News of Monday, 11 December 2017 Source: mynewsgh.com 2017-12-11 President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo Spokesperson of Exton Cubic, Samuel Gyamfi is worried that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is seeking to govern the country independent of foreign aid but his decisions regarding its natural resources prove otherwise. \u201cAkufo-Addo no longer believes in Ghana but [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@ghanamma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@ghanamma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ghanamma.com\\\/2017\\\/12\\\/11\\\/akufo-addo-now-believes-in-china-than-ghana-sammy-gyamfi\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ghanamma.com\\\/2017\\\/12\\\/11\\\/akufo-addo-now-believes-in-china-than-ghana-sammy-gyamfi\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"\",\"@id\":\"\"},\"headline\":\"Akufo-Addo now believes in China than Ghana &#8211;
