Has the time not come for our ruling élites to be told clearly, that they ought to tell ordinary Ghanaians, what disaster could possibly befall Mother Ghana, were all Ghanaian families to be issued with Bank of Ghana (BOG) Digital Cedis (DGC), to the tune of 250,000 each, to purchase homes in new well-planned and well-built green cities (which will replace all our nation's urban slums), I ask?

The plain truth is that it will be well-nigh impossible, to revive our national economy, after the defeat of the COVID-19 pandemic, in our country - if we don't adopt a radical approach to nation-building, in the post-COVID-19 era: one that sets us on a course to developing a new green-economy, which empowers those in our base-of-the-pyramid demographic, to bootstrap their way out of the poverty trap, to prosperity.

A citizen-bailout will be the key to unlocking the undoubted creativity, and unbounded energies, which most Ghanaians are blessed with, and will utilize when given the once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity, which that citizen-bailout, represents.

In addition to crediting each digital account for families, with the DGC250O, 000 per household; they must, perforce, also all be issued with tax identification numbers (TIN), to enable Ghana's tax net to be widened dramatically.

Naturally, in order to widen the tax net, we must set tax rates - for both individuals and enterprises, at what should be the lowest in the world, bar none, create a culture of entrepreneurship in our homeland Ghana, and put our nation on the world map, that way. Cool.

And, above all, we must make the agricultural sector tax-free, ban all inorganic fertilizers and synthetic chemicals used in farming in Ghana, and, instead, use Apostle Kojo Safo-Kantanka's natural folair fertilizers and organic growth mediums, to transform farming in Ghana, into a sector that produces only certified organic agricultural produce, to boost our immune systems, and make ours a healthy society.
