Accra, March 17, Ghanadot - Dr Paa Kwesi Ndoum, the Presidential
candidate of the Convention People's Party in the 2008
Presidential elections has called on Ghanaians to buy made in
Ghana products.
This, Dr. Nduom said, would save Ghana's economy from the world
economic crunch.
He said, as a matter of urgency, he has instructed all his
companies in the country to patronise local materials for
production, saying it was an example set for other local
companies to emulate.
Dr Ndoum said this in an interview with section of the media in
Accra today.
He has also called on the government to come out with a stimulus
package to strengthen local industries to face the global
financial crisis.
He said, the stimulus plan would be in form of putting in place
disincentives on the importation of goods into the country to
promote the purchase of locally manufactured goods.
Dr Ndoum noted that, the government could provide low interest
credit to farmers as another stimulus package for the
agricultural sector.
"The world economic recession provides the country with an
opportunity to domesticate our search for a permanent solution
to our economic problems and the government should act now", he
observed.
