Furthermore, he stated that "While we are doing that, there is the need to add a debt option on a minimal base to it, we are not close to that. While we are meeting our objective, there is, for example, a grant programme we can tap into. For a particular purpose we won't say because we are on Ghana Beyond Aid Agenda, all other resources are been rejected''.
