Financial Analyst, Mr Ken Thompson has said that the development of every nation is the main function of indigenous investors.
He makes the point that no foreigner will develop a country.
In the event that those foreigners develop the country, he said, they remain in that country and take absolute control over the investments.
Speaking during the Economic Dialogue on the theme: “Who owns the Ghanaian economy” organized by Media General in Accra on Thursday March 26, Mr Thompson said “I am not against foreign investments but the truth is no foreigner will develop this country, foreigner have not developed any country. Anywhere foreigners have developed the country they stayed and took over every thing.”
He further makes the point that Ghana must make economic sovereignty a national project.
“If we want to develop that we should make Make economic sovereignty a national project and proceed it with discipline
“Let us not blame anybody for our lack of the will to develop. Nothing happens by accident, everything is contrived.”
“If you want to change behavior provide incentives. Ghanaians did not fight for independence so foreigners will own the future, we fought to own it ourselves.”
