Tarkwa (Eastern Region) - Vice-President John Evans Atta Mills said on Saturday that the solution to Ghana's economic problems does not lie in which party one belongs to but on how Ghanaians can join hands together in unity and peace to push the country forward.

Professor Mills made this observation when he addressed members of the Wassa Fiase Traditional Council at Tarkwa as part of his four-day working visit to the Western Region.

He said no particular party has the magic wand to solve the country's economic woes and, therefore, appealed to the chiefs and people of Tarkwa not to allow themselves to be deceived by wild and vague promises from politicians.

Prof. Mills admitted that Ghanaians were facing hardships but explained that this was due to global inflation and the falling prices of cocoa and gold.
