"Growth rate up- Kwame Peprah" says the Times in a lead story which says the Minister of Finance, Mr. Kwame Peprah says in spite of the energy crisis and draw-backs, the country weathered the storm and ended the year with a growth rate close to five per cent.


Mr Peprah said these after signing a memorandum of understanding with the new Canadian High Commissioner, Mrs. Janet Graham on a ?1 billion assistance to strengthen Ghana's Parliament.

The three-year project will strengthen the Public Accounts and Finance Committees of Parliament, and foster all-party cooperation and collaboration within the parliamentary committees, thereby strengthening democracy in the country.
