The General Secretary of the Great Consolidated Popular Party (GCPP), Citizen Ato Dadzie has bemoaned the effect of too much importation on the country’s economy.
According to him, the high taste for products from overseas is leaving a deteriorating impact.
“And one of the areas where we have to address is to reduce the import dependency that we have as a country,”Citizen Ato Dadzie exclusively told Original TV.
He explained that “as the global economy is going to realign to the new reality with more self-reliance, Ghana cannot be left behind.”
“We also have to look very closely at how we enhance domestic production and reduce dependence on imports for commodities that we can very easily produce here in Ghana.”
Citizen Ato Dadzie explained that the over-dependence on foreign products is a major contributor to the current state of the economy.
He opined that the grade surpluses being recorded are unprecedented making it near impossible to turn the economy around without the help of the general citizenry.
It is on the back of this that he suggested that the approach toward production needs to change.
