Mills!, We Are Still Waiting For The “Better Ghana”

President Mills!, We Are Still Waiting For The “Better Ghana”

For "A Better Ghana" the Government of Ghana seems to be working very slow around the clock of its manifesto. Before the government was voted to power, Ghanaian people were promised “A Better Ghana” by reducing poverty through economic growth based on the principle of reinforcing good governance, economic freedom and investments in people.

The major and effective focus of the Government should have therefore been engaging seriously in the fight (generally) against rapacity and corruption in the country, since the efforts of a country to control corruption in its economy and society is the key to reducing poverty and promoting security, average living for the people and good governance.

For the Ghanaian people to achieve and enjoy "A Better Ghana" as promised, the government must be operating on principals of "a self watchdog" based on dimensional governance of Voice and Accountability, Political Stability and Absence of Violence, Government Effectiveness, Regulatory Quality, RULR OF LAW and lastly CONTROL OF CORRUPTION.

For how long must the Ghanaian people be waiting to seeing more from the promised “Better Ghana.?”
