CEO of Kufour Foundation, Prof. Baffour Agyeman-Duah has said that he doubted the sustainability of the Ghana Beyond Aid policy from the onset.
According to him, when the Committee tasked to ensure its enforcement was announced, he felt that the people who were appointed lacked the technical knowledge for the sustainable implementation of the policy.
“When the President announced it, in my view, there was a tactical mistake. I recall the President constituting a certain group of people to work on it, including the Senior Minister at the time, Mr. Osafo-Maafo and others. Once I heard the membership of the Committee, frankly, I just chuckled and said ‘this government is not serious’ he said.
He explained that, “if you are talking about Ghana Beyond Aid, it’s such an inspiring, interesting, and heavy concept that requires people who can think.”
President Akufo-Addo, in 2018 inaugurated the “Ghana Beyond Aid” Charter Committee to give substance to the Ghana Beyond Aid concept, as promised during the May Day Celebration in Kumasi.
