"They complained a lot about the rate at which the government at the time was borrowing but at the last count, “they have borrowed about 10 billion dollars”, he said.

Mr Spio-Garbrah stated further that “there is a lot of assets in the country….If you go to the airport residential area and cantonment most of the houses there have been paid for….they have been paid for twenty-thirty years ago. Most Ghanaians build their houses without mortgages so a lot of capital is locked up in people’s homes.”

The former Minister, who is seeking to lead the NDC in the 2020 general elections also said when given the mandate to govern Ghana,  he will have much tighter public sector appointment process, where the growth of the public sector will reflect the growth of the economy.
