I'll never borrow if I become President

The flagbearer of the All People's Congress (APC), Dr Hassan Ayariga has pledged that if he is elected President in the 2024 elections, Ghana will cease borrowing from other countries.

He explained that his government would focus on repaying the country’s existing debt and reclaiming natural and mineral resources currently under foreign control.

Speaking on JoyNews News Desk, Dr Ayariga said, “Once you claim it, it gives the Ghanaian government a good source of revenue."

"We are going to increase revenue and productivity in our country, and when we are able to increase revenue and productivity significantly, we will have enough resources to maintain this country, manage it, and start paying our debts bit by bit.”

Dr Ayariga stated that if President Mahama or Bawumia were to become president, the national debt would not be cancelled.
