An independent Presidential candidate, Dr. Sam Ankrah has taken a hefty swipe at the non-performance of Governments that have taken power under the 4th Republic of Ghana.
Mr. Ankrah, Sam Ankrah is a Development Economist and President of the Africa Investment Group. … He is the recipient of the Special Achievement Award at the 2012 Ghana UK
The Development Economist believes that the Akufo-Addo-led administration has totally muddied the destiny and future of Ghanaians.
In his view, the Akufo-Addo government has been a non-listening government who do not take the plight of Ghanaians into an account.
“It is amazing that after 63 years of Independence and counting. With all the resources available to us, Ghana is still going through her foundation years similar to what some successful nations accomplished“, he stated.
According to him, Ghana is confronted by incompetence, myopic governance and a government that does not listen.
“We will and are being confronted with examples of incompetence, non-listening and myopic governance, etc However be assured through this pain, agony, and despair the learning curve of Ghanaians regarding the statecraft of governance will at some point lean towards a structure for a better and accountable government. The timing may not be known, either now or shortly or far away future. However, it will happen regardless“.
He added that the people’s frustrations and disappointments will sooner erupt and force leaders to do the right thing.
“The frustration and disappointments of the people will erupt sooner rather than later to make this happen as it has always happened in the history of all successful nations. We may desire for such an occurrence to happen sooner rather than later, but the nation-building clock is inherent in its citizens’ DNA to determine their desire for progress, fairness, and justice.
That is why I make a solemn duty call to this generation. We may stay aloof, follow the status quo and let the next generation pick up the mantle or we will roll up our sleeves and move into action.
Of course, it will not be an easy task to change the status quo. We will be muddied, character assassinate, or even life threats. But should we be bothered? Nature is such that it always creates an opportunity to cause a change, a total overhaul not the usual cosmetic work. We can’t keep doing the same old stuff and expert change.
The time is now to get involved or forever hold your peace of the rots in government, the mismanagement, thievery, nepotism, the abuse of power, etc. Actionable change has come, be part of it“, he affirmed.
