Ghanaian businessman and economist, Dr Kofi Amoah has criticised the country’s political leadership, accusing them of embezzling public funds instead of fostering an environment conducive to job creation.
“THERE ARE LOTS OF “WALKING GHOSTS” IN GHANA … The corruption and joblessness programs of the npp have “drained”their lives away… As much as DIGITALIZATION is presented as a spoke in the wheel of development, it’s an expensive joke!! It’s crazy to build an expensive payment police system in a bankrupt country where majority of the people have no payments coming to them because they have no JOBS! This can only become necessary when the corrupt practices of a nation’s political elite has become an entrenched culture that has seeped into the fabric of society The cost of eliminating the npp-type of corruption is huge and requires a never-ending and expensive series of remedies, with the potential of each remedy also requiring its own policing digital portal at some point Digitalization in a bankrupt jobs-starved country is like building a bridge to nowhere Let our political leadership set good examples by not looting the public purse and using the money to create JOBS for the people Our ears have been hurting with sermons on digitalization for too long whilst corruption and unemployment rage on Let’s get our priorities properly aligned to serve the burning needs of Ghanaians … JOBS Good-paying JOBS pls!”
