Mr. John Kufuor has been in the news this week for purportedly suggesting that the country\u00a0may not survive without aid<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a matter of phasing. We are in a phase of development. We just do not get up and say no aid. They have exploited us enough so we take to empower ourselves, to build ourselves through education and through attracting investment, creating employment, so it gets to a point where now when they come, they meet their equals. So we have to be careful to say that now where we are, we will not go and ask for aid. We will do it, but only as a stage to empower us,\u201d Kufuor stated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
