Often times I have some disturbing feeling. A feeling of regret for being a Ghanaian. The many happenings in the country, particularly with leadership is suffocating me. Truth is concealed from the masses, and so will be if a positive mind set towards the nation's good is not adopted in the attitudes of future governments. Power is corrupting some Ghanaian representatives!
We the people of Ghana, blessed with vast resources and in pursuant of a common destiny, have a collective responsibility to fulfil this vision - a continuous growing economy where there is mass availability and quick access to hospitals at reasonable costs, high quality roads in every nook and cranny with better transport systems, huge production and consumption of Ghanaian products and services, healthy employment opportunities, drastic reduction of corruption in all human activity and then to embrace the principle of moral uprightness. These grand vision,of which there are more, can be achieved.
However, many politicians, who though claiming to belong to a religious body and following its good principles, have deviated entirely. They hesitate to do the right thing, although knowing its good outcome. Setting priorities which in disguise gratify their interests but less or virtually nil towards the country's progress. With unbridled tongue spew out profane, provocative and retaliatory utterances. Saying they love and pray peace for the country but their actions and in-actions betray them. Talking too much but doing little. Receiving huge amounts of money from foreign nations and banks as either loans or grants but which reflects poorly in the maintenance and development of the country. The list is endless!
In defence as to what they have done in the interest of the country, they always claim to have built roads, schools, hospitals and the like. But from a keen observation, the sum total of these services is amazingly small. Moreover, their boast over work done does not reflect much in the living conditions of all or perhaps many Ghanaians. As "Ambassadors of Poverty" they can't change their attitude. So, I will leave them to their fate, but they must always remember that "as you sow, so shall you reap"
