A Kumasi-based research analyst, Mr William Grant, has appealed to the President for assistance to enable him implement his research policies after a decade of technical and environmental research in economics, social and political analysis in the interest of Ghana.
Mr Grant, an Electrical Engineer with Business and Economic management background, indicated in a petition dated December 17, 2023 to the President that his policies would help solve energy and sanitation and help grow the economy.
According to him, he has not received the needed encouragement from the appropriate institutions or persons over the years, hence the petition.
The Petitioner stated that he had invested his own resources in the compilation of 17 scopes under his research policies, which have scientific meaning with Technical and Administrative implications needing persons with requisite expertise to successfully implement them at the National level.
He mentioned the said research policies as Stabilisation of the local currency (the cedi), Sound Economy and System of Taxation, Local Government and Bye-Laws, National Identification and Security, National Service Reformation and Creation of Jobs, Formal/Informal Education and Quality Training and Youth and Prison reform.
Other research policies are Health system with our Doctors and Nurses, National Health Insurance reformation, Planning of Good Roads and Road Safety measures, Public Transportation, Energy, Environment, Sanitation, Water Services and Crisis.
The rest of the proposed policies are Farmers and Market Policy, Partisan Politics and Social Activities and Information Policy.
Mr Grant said he had on September 3, 2010 presented a 19-page document for consideration by Parliament as part of our National Policy Program with copies to then Speaker of Parliament, Mrs.  Bamford Addo, then Majority leader, Alban Bagbin and then Minority leader Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu.
He also claimed he sent a copy to the then President and Vice President, in the persons of the late President Mills and Ex-President Mahama at the Castle, Osu, but did not receive any response from these personalities, except that the Majority and Minority in Parliament allegedly adopted some of the policies in their national agenda for their election 2012 and 2016 campaign programmes.
The research analyst hoped the President would consider his petition in the interest of mother Ghana.
Mr. Grant,  also  appealed to the two main political parties, (NPP and NDC), House of Parliament and the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) who adopted his research policies, to consider a befitting compensation  for his input  towards  efforts  at nation building.
