Recently the news has been all about the government taking a $50bn, 100 year loan facility from

spending all its time in opposition slamming the previous NDC government for the same fault.

“When I’m broke I try to live within my means, I only buy what I NEED and not what I WANT. I won’t “free” a Gucci bag to pay later; Ha am I MAD?! But in Ghana, the broker the country is the more we borrow and the more we spend on frivolous things. Ok oh”. the AMVCA award winning actress posted.
