"It may not get to even ten [years] and you may have to change it," she said in an interview on Radio Ghana.
She said her father was part of a team that framed the country’s seven-year development plan during Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s regime but it failed to realize its full potential.
"Realistically, our economics should tell us, which country on this earth puts together a 40-year development plan when you know conditions will change, situations, paradigms, levels will change.

"So you plan with a realistic view, don’t bamboozle the people that you are planning for 40-years when you know that it may not get to even ten years and you may have to change it! Come on, we are not children. 40 years is unrealistic, unacceptable, waste of our money and it’s not going to work," the leader of the National Democratic Party (NDP) added.
The 40-year long-term development plan, which will be put before Parliament by the end of this year, is expected to be implemented between 2018 and 2057.
It will be incorporated in the country’s Constitution and, therefore, will be binding on all governments.
