Mr. Kwabena Frimpong, the Deputy Director of Protocols at the New Patriotic Party (NPP) headquarters, has criticized Ghanaians for their attitude toward imported goods and services.
While advising the populace, particularly the youth, to avoid foreign items and services, Mr. Frimpong is still finding it difficult to accept Ghanaians who favor imported goods over domestic ones.
The young politician and businessman called on Ghanaians and governments to modify their mindset in order to strengthen local markets and provide jobs for the throngs of unemployed youngsters while speaking on Net 2 TV.
“Consuming local products will not only boost our local economy, but more people will also get jobs if we’re able to produce more and export some. It will also help governments to earn the foreign exchange needed for development.
“So my appeal to everyone listening to me is to stop buying from these Chinese nationals who have taken over our market”, Mr. Frimpong pointed out.
The NPP apologist observed that until Ghanaians buy and eat home-grown products the economy will remain in the doldrums.
