  The lack of supervision and enforcement of our labour acts (laws) are the two main things that are drawing this country backward. You can have all you need to work with, but if you don't stand on your feet and call a spade a spade, you can't achieve your set goals. We have the laws in place, but how to enforce them is our problem. In short, we must change our attitude, especially those who are designated to man the affairs of the state. We must change our ways of thinking and stop blaming everything on lack of funds. Long live Ghana. Thank you.

  What is going on globally before our very eyes requires people who care to know what is happening around them and are willing to learn from those events. From the America's to China, business owners and empires or state owned corporate fronts as in the case of Russia and China are at the forefront showing us the true effects of property-owning society is at work.
  
  Property-owning society being touted by the NPP leadership under Nana Akufo-Addo is derived from talking points of business owners and conglomerates. Property owning society can only exist if business owners are allowed by law to keep and have the legal right to do as they choose or please with their business. They can hire and dismiss employees at, they can prevent worker organizing into unions even as business pollute the environment with little oversight from governments/political parties chase after the next vote and or campaign funds.
  
  So as Ghana's government and other African governments decide to allow Foreign Direct Investments without due diligence, those investors setup shop in Ghana or in African countries and a catch-22 is set in motion. Workers have jobs because business owners offer them jobs even though the owners make money because of the labor of those workers. But let business owners put it without their money and or intellect employees would not have work as if those business owners could earn a dime without worker productivity and output. At work in Ghana is the struggle between worker rights and employer rights and it is about time unions and workers came to an understanding that with property seeking society come employer rights that will always trump worker rights and dilute government oversight authority; businesses will buy politicians who tout their playbook ideals.
