Host of Thank God It's Friday aired on local Metro TV, Kweku Sintim Misa has questioned Ghana's ability to harness the right resources for the purposes of development. (KSM)
He attributes that to visionless leaders who he said have lacked the strategy to develop the country.
He was speaking on Joy FM's Talking Obama, an almost uncoordinated two-hour programme as part of the build-up towards the historic visit by US President Barak Obama on Friday.
"Obama's visit is the third by a US President in Ghana. What is it they see which we don't see?" he asked.
The euphoria surrounding Obama's visit has been unprecedented.

In the Sirleaf Johnson Hall of Data Bank, one of Ghana's foremost investment institutions, were lay men and women, well not exactly lay, to discuss everything and anything Obama, on Talk Obama

They say the American president is going to Ghana as a reward to Ghana 's successful and democratic elections.
