Mr. Robert P. Jackson, the United States (US), has given high marks to Ghana good political and economic governance and said he found it refreshing the “positive changes” over the last two decades.
“We are very excited about Ghana’s potentials. It’s been 20 years since I came here for the first time, there has been enormous changes during that time and positive changes.”
Mr. Jackson, who would be ending his duty tour of the country at the end of July, was speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on the sidelines of the graduation ceremony of the Webster Ghana University, in Accra.
He said what the nation needed to do was to focus priority effort on creating jobs for the people.
More should be done to help the people to see a “bright future for themselves here”, he added.

sustainable job creation by the private sector can be achieved only if the govt addresses policies that INCREASE DISPOSABLE INCOME of the average Ghanaian houseld (i.e. increase the supply of housing/food to reduce the cost of food/rent). This is the best way to increase money that Ghanaians can save and spend without worrying about daily survival needs. It is also the best means to reduce interest rates so that banks will lend money to businesses to expand and employ. The key is to have the BEST MINDS in agriculture and home-construction so that efficiency in those sectors will REDUCE THE COST OF LIVING and increase DISPOSABLE INCOME & SAVINGS
