Dr NyahoTamakloe further stated hat if the money that has been stolen from Ghana and siphoned outside the country is returned, Ghana will be able to restore the economy.
“If the money that has been stolen from this country is brought back we will get somewhere,” he said.
He added “The cause of the problems we have is money being siphoned out by politicians.”

“This ‘turning the corner’ is underpinned by the investments and sacrifices we have
collectively made during this difficult period since March 2020,” he added.
