He argues that focusing on revenue generation is essential for achieving the desired economic growth and improving the well-being of the Ghanaian people.
In an interview with Citi FM on Tuesday, November 14, Prof. Gatsi suggested that the government should create an enabling environment for businesses to thrive.
