Why The Majority Of Ghanaian Politicians Will Wash Dishes In Europe With Their Diploma

Ghana is losing billions of Cedis each year through inefficient and incompetent ministers, who can’t create jobs or do anything significant to improve the lives of the common Ghanaians, simply because they don't know what to do.

The fact many can't ignore, especially those in the Diaspora aware of is that these so-called Ghanaian politicians or ministers will not be qualified for any ministerial job, other than to be cleaners or dishwashers in hotels, in Europe, or America.

In Europe, if you are qualified to work and you come from Africa, don’t expect to get work as Ministers for Education, Health, Agriculture, or Tourism. Even though you have a diploma or certificate that shows what you studied, that will not secure you a job immediately in that field.

Firstly, the Europeans don’t have an interest in Africa’s education; secondly, they depend on efficiency, experience, and productivity, of which they know very well that Africa lacks those qualities.

Thus, before you get any job, depending on what you have studied, you might follow a course, ranging from six months to one year, sometimes longer, followed by an examination to determine your potentials.

This has nothing to do with discrimination or racism. It is how they analyze your academic performance if qualified for the job, since you are to serve the country and the people.

The criteria of selecting qualified or the right people to serve the nation results in success and rapid development.

Africa is far behind development, not because the continent is poor. Apart from corruption, the people employed as ministers to take positions of many jobs are not qualified.

Many are employed because they are related to a politician - nepotism or paid a bribe to get that post. The result is what we are seeing now in every part of Africa, including Ghana. The lack of progress and developments.

In Europe and America, every minister knows what to do. They meet, coordinate policies, adopt laws, creating jobs, improving the already health sectors, combating against crimes, and improving the roads and lives of the people.

Such efficiency doesn’t exist in Ghana. This is one of the reasons Ghanaian ministers serve eight years and go without creating a single job for the common people. An example is the current government in power, the NPP.

Imagine someone like Hawa Koomson, a minister who can’t explain her own duties, what would be her benefit to Europe or America as a minister?

That’s why she can only work in Europe or America, as a cleaner or dishwasher to survive. Don’t be deceived, dishwashers and cleaners earn better than many Ghanaian politicians.

Many Ghanaian politicians steal the government's money to build houses and purchase luxurious cars. An American or European cleaner acquires everything through hard work, as he pays his mortgage monthly.

Apart from the corruption that has affected all the infrastructures, Ghana is not progressing because we have many kinds like Hawa Koomson in Ghanaian politics.

In Europe and America, every politician involved in corruption scandals has to step down. He or she has to resign immediately. It saves the government with the impression that they don't condone corruption.

In Ghana, the government keeps corrupt politicians. We have such people in the NPP government, Charles Bissue, caught red-handed on camera, taking money from over illegal mining.

Another, Eugene Arhin, the Director of Communications at the office of the President, exposed by his own wife of amassing wealth just within the shortest period of joining politics.

This is the kind of politics in Ghana, therefore, we don't have to be angry if Donald Trump refers to the continent as a 'Shithole,' and African leaders mustn't feel disappointed if they are the least respected among world leaders.

Why possible for a country to be so rich with such a vast amount of resources yet the people continue to suffer?

That means both the president and the ministers lack knowledge. That's why the white man will let you clean or wash dishes in the developed world.
