Let Us Put Factionalism Aside And Unite To Get Ghana Working Again For All Demographics In Society

There is no doubt that Sri Lanka's economic meltdown, must have concentrated minds at the heart of the presidency - and jolted President Akufo-Addo into suddenly realising the unsustainability of the policies of his economic management team: which has left Ghana with a massive debt mountain, unfortunately.

Perhaps it is fear of Ghana eventually experiencing the catastrophic and tragic events now unfolding in Sri Lanka, which has created such panic amongst our ruling-elites - to the extent that Ken Ofori-Atta's smoke-and-mirrors economics (of piling on debt upon debt, which - allegedly - coincidentally earns him, and his cronies, fat professional fees and juicy commission-cash), has now finally been jettisoned, in favour of the government embracing the idea of holding discussions with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Hopefully, President Akufo-Addo, who is now widely awake, politically (we hope), will send Ken Ofori-Atta, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, Nana Asante Bediatuo and Yaw Osafo Marfo, abroad as ambassadors, and put in place, a new team of individuals, who have stellar track records of solid on-the-ground-achievement to their names, who will manage both the presidency, and our nation's economy, and execute policies that will enable the private sector to create wealth that remains locally, and generate jobs galore for our younger generations. Whatever be the case, we must put aside factionalism, and unite to get our homeland Ghana working again, for all demographics in society.
