The Daily Graphic believes the hope of a better economy lies in the revival of productive activities in agriculture and industry. For this reason, the Paper urges government to take a serious look at productive activities among local producers who are falling out of business due to high cost of production. 

The Ghanaian Times is utterly amazed at the Ghana Education Service's intention to launch investigations into a request for chalk by the Headmistress of the Kukurantumi Presbyterian Primary School. The Paper says it is not worth spending resources into investigating something that is obvious, that is the school had no supply of chalk. The Times insists the request by the Headmistress was simply not out of place. The Paper believes once the wife of the Vice President has apologised for her comments on the issue that should be the end of the matter. 

The General Telegraph is of the view that as long as people express their views with decorum and respect for other views, it is unacceptable for others to try gagging them. The Paper observes that it is intolerance toward dissenting opinion and freedom of speech that has become an obstacle to the development of democracy. The Telegraph is quick to add that nevertheless freedom of speech should be guarded. It calls on radio political talk show producers and hosts to re-write the rules for studio discussants and phone-in segments.
