Your Excellency, at some point in time we were third on the list for destination of investing in Africa and due to your tireless effort to improve the economic environment by leveraging our resources to improve our infrastructure and improve competitiveness, Ghana was seen as a safe haven for investment. Today, as we speak, we have declined from the fifth to the ninth, we are at risk of falling out of the top 10 investment destinations in Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He further criticised Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia for singing \u201cthis kind of disgrace\u201d instead of focusing on policies to reverse the trend.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Adongo said RMB indicated that \u201cefficient infrastructure is the backbone for leveraging investment and for creating sustainable opportunities for the people\u201d, a policy which former President Mahama pursued but \u201cwas laughed at\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>For him, Mr Mahama has been vindicated by the findings of RMB.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Adongo said RMB was of the view that while Ghana\u2019s competing neighbours such as Cote d\u2019Ivoire are improving in terms of economic and business environment \u201cwe have stagnated and declined\u201d.<\/p>\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>General News of Thursday, 4 April 2019 Source: classfmonline.com 2019-04-04 Isaac Adongo, MP for Bolgatanga Central Member of Parliament (MP) for Bolgatanga Central, Isaac Adongo has said Ghana risk dropping out of the top 10 investment destinations in Africa due to the poor policies of the government.
