  This writer has pointed out two things namely The true state of the economy and the propaganda about the economy.Seth Terkper is having problems with government's communicators because he deems it right to come out with the right figures to explain the situation of the economy while those like Ayariga thinks it must be managed with propaganda.For example,how can the government presents three figures on the percentage of government's revenue that is used to pay workers?.Terkper said it is 56,Mahama 69 while Fiifi Kwetey gave 90%.One thing must be clear,the country's economy can only be managed with the truth and not cooked up figures,because sooner or later the reality will expose you and this is what those like Ayariga do not seem to understand.

  It's only a propagandist who in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, would say that, the public wage bill accounts for the country's present economic predicament.
  The NDC gov't is not cut for the job of serious governance but rather, outrageous and humongous thievery buttressed by stupendous incompetence ably supported by lawlessness, militarism and gangsterism and these are the very reasons and facts why the present economic situation of the country is in the pits. The Mahama led NDC gov't needs to be voted out massively in 2016, to rescue the country from such bad governance and mismanagement. Ghana deserves better.

  THE FINANCE MINISTER WILL DANCE TO HIS OWN TUNE. I THINK HIS COLLEAGUES WANT HIM OUT BECAUSE HE THE MINISTER MIGHT NOT BE GIVING IN TO THE DICTATES OF HIS COLLEAGUES HENCE THE DISSATISFACTION GOING AROUND. HE MIGHT BE HOLDING A TIGHT MONETARY RESPONSIBILITY AND THAT IS WHY EVERYBODY WANTS HIM OUT. IF HE EXPLAINS WHAT HE IS DOING AND THE PRESIDENT UNDERSTANDS HIS REASONS, THEN WHY WOULD HE SACK HIM? PEOPLE MIGHT WANT HIM TO SPEND WHEN HE KNOWS THE MONEY IS NOT THERE AND THIS MAY NOT SIT WELL WITH SOME OF THE COMMUNITY AND THIS IS THE CONTENTION OF SOME WANTING HIS DISMISSAL. WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN TO MR. TERKPER IF HE IS SACKED? HE WILL ONLY HOLD HIS DIGNITY IN TACT.

  THIS SHOULD REMIND YOU THAT SACKING THE
  MINISTER WILL NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. THE CORRUPTION IS ENDEMIC IN THE COUNTRY, NOW IF YOU DO NOT KNOW , ANNAS AMEYAO ANNAS IS GOING TO PREMIER HIS BUNDLE OF GHANAIAN SHAME TO THE WORLD , AND THIS IS BECAUSE HOW CAN A COUNTRY CRYING WOLF ABOUT ERADICATING CORRUPTION BE AWARE OF ALL THE WORKS OF ANNAS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THEM? WHO SAID HE WANTS TO REDUCE CORRUPTION HERE? WELL START WITH THE JUDICIARY , BECAUSE WITHOUT THEM CHANGING THEIR WAYS CORRUPTION CAN NOT BE REDUCED HERE, THEY THE JUDICIARY WHO FRUSTRATED THE POLICE , AND POLICE ONLY JOINED THE JUDICIARY, "IMAGINE WORKING YOUR ASS OFF TO NAB A CRIMINAL SUSPECT ,AND TAKING HIM OR HER TO COURT, ALSO REFUSING TO ACCEPT BRIBES , WHICH THE JUDGES WILL ACCEPT AND THROW THE CASE OUT , ONLY FOR THE ARMED ROBBER TO GO AFTER THE POLICE AND TRY TO ASSASSINATE HIM OR HER , THIS IS THE SITUATION HERE , THE CLEAN JUDICIARY IS THE SOLUTION TO REDUCED CORRUPTION.

  I don't think Seth Terpker even understand what the economy of a country is. He thinks the economy of a country is the kind of universal neo liberal economics in reading materials. The economy of a country is constituted by land, mineral resources and people. So if your financial plans is not to address the challenges faced by these three elements then you're a waste of time of the state. You should apply for work at the New York stock Exchange instead.
