She said the Divestiture Implementation Committee (DIC) which was setup during the PNDC regime disposed most of our national asserts; allocation to cronies, friends, family members, fellow members of the PNDC and their corrupt foreign partners roaming in the country as investors. She said the divestiture implementation committee is the most serious attack and damage to the nation. She said the state provided structures and infrastructures if they existed today would have provided hope and employment for the huge number of unemployed. “We cannot continue in a state where our God given natural resources of gold diamond manganese, timber, oil continue to be exploited largely by some corrupt ruling elites and their corrupt foreign partners roaming in the country as investors, while the Ghanaian masses continue to suffer unemployment, homelessness, poverty and mystery,” she said. She said “the answer to the nation problems lies in the path we choose to make our God given resources beneficial to the citizens”.
