He has, therefore, urged traditional councils across the country to rather use locally produced gin. According to him, the country’s liquor industry would grow and create opportunities for the unemployed youth if that was done. Government had been urged to rehabilitate the original burial place of Ghana’s fist president, Dr Kwame Nkrumah, at Nkroful in the Western Region. A Tour Attendant at the mausoleum, Mr Stephen Tandoh, noted that, the renovation would not only boost tourism but project the image of the late President as well as the entire nation.

He said with such funds Ghana would not need to go to the International Monetary Fund for support. He said the country has many tourist sites and with little investments, could beat many of the most visited tourists’ destinations in Africa.
