Daughter of Ghana's first president Dr Kwame Nkrumah, Samia Yaba Nkrumah says government is wasting its time over debates on when and how the country achieved independence.

According to her, it will be in the best interest of the country if the NPP administration rather concentrates on best ways to achieve economic independence especially when 90 percent of goods and services in the country are imported.

Commenting on the ongoing UGCC debate, Samia Nkrumah posits that the debate is best positioned if issues related to Ghana's economy are quickly addressed.

"One would have thought that in this year when we are marking the 60th anniversary of independence, our focus would be how to achieve economic emancipation with our youth at the centre of that revolution," she quizzed.
