Ghana in Focus special: Review of 2025 Part II, feat, Health, Illegal mining, Agriculture and the NPP opposition,

Send us Fan MailWe continue our review of 2025.HealthWe explain why healthcare is not just about building hospitals/ clinics but providing first class facilities such as prostate cancer screening and cancer diagnosis as well as giving guidance and support in improving health outcomes.We state the obesity time bomb in Ghana and urge the need for a national policy framework on health to ensure Ghanaians can live long and healthy lives and contribute to nation building.  We urge the government to make the NHIS ( National Health Insurance Scheme) universal for ALL.Agriculture:Agriculture is the mainstay of life in Ghana. Ghana is blessed with rich, fertile land that is capable of producing high quality food. Despite this, agriculture in Ghana has been left to chance since General Acheampong, with no great deliberate  policy on agriculture .  This has caused, food shortages, rotten food and high food inflation affecting family budgets. That said we critique the NPP's planting for Food and Jobs and why we feel it failed.While we commend the current governments EAT GHANA initiative , we explore the viability of this initiative and give our recommendations including providing soft loans to Ghanaians farmers, creating markets for Ghanaian farmers and putting tariffs on imported food stuff like rice, tomatoes etc.  We end by stating Ghana must consume what is produces and produce what it consumes!Illegal mining (Galamsey)The biggest issue facing the very survival of the country.  In the last 8 years illegal small scale mining has become a national emergency issue with polluted rivers, polluted water, toxic lands and a damaged environment.The failure of the last government to deal decisively with Galamsey led in part to its defeat at last years polls as the pubic became agitated that nothing was being done to tackle this menace.We critique the current government's approach to tackling head on this national emergency.  We advise that there are Kings, High ranking police and military officials plus politically exposed persons who are INVOVLED in this eco terrorism alongside the Chinese.  As a definite solution we call on government to call a state of emergency by the close of 2026,otherwise one can conclude the government is complicit in this and warn of the dire consequences' of inaction including the very REAL possibility of Ghana having to import water by 2030!!NPP Opposition ------- Finally, we press the opposition NPP to move past slogans and present credible, measurable policies on health, education, the economy, housing etc —ideas that acknowledges past failures' and meets the urgency of now.Support the showDonate/Support the show:    https://www.buzzsprout.com/1793098/supportWe offer a consultation session for those who wish to relocate to Ghana , do business in Ghana , buy land, buying a property or even starting  business in Ghana.  We offer professional support tailored on your needs and wants. We provide valuable information that can assist you in your relocation like the Ghana card how/where to register your business.We can also signpost you to other agencies that can help in your relocation as well as business and investment opportunities.We charge a rate of US$30 for an hour's consultation or US$20 for a 30 minute consultation briefing. To book your consultation please email [email protected] on Youtube - just look for the Ghana/Afrika in Focus podcast on Youtube and click the notification bell so that every time I upload a new podcast it automatically comes to your feed. Tell your family and friends.
