The Ghanaian economy; are we safe?

Life has combined with the harsh economic conditions of the nation to slap Ghanaians from behind. Ghanaians are now suffering from BIPOLAR DISEASES. DIPLOPIA has been a key sign and symptom which is usually not the case anyway.
I am not surprised when you have a president who has been diagnosed of a DEAD GOAT SYNDROME then you should expect nothing but “public purse long hands”.
Folks, close your mouths and let me take you through today’s lessons.
It appears that corruption is the worst enemy that hits any developing or under developed country or state like ours. It interrupts the citizens of backward nations and some go hungry, homeless and poverty.
Under the current government, citizens in Ghana have suffered a lot and are still suffering for the reasons that, this government is corrupt and care very little for employment issues. The people always wake up every morning to either hear an increase in utility bills, fuel prices or corrupt deal.
I don’t need a prophet to tell me that the current president is a failure or a disgrace. Mr. reader, mark it on the wall and take it from me today that, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is going to leave corruption as the only legacy for the next generation of our beloved country (Ghana). There is no doubt also that the current government is going to leave a national debt for the future generations.
Instead of using community funds for nation building and also to support the short or long term goals on proper education, health and road/railway networks as well as sustainable development, some steal it for their own use.
The court of public opinion puts the most corrupt institutions and public offices in the following order as far as “thievery” is concern:
1. The presidency
2. The Ghana police service
3. Parliament (Legislature)
4. The judicial service
5. Public office holders.
I am not claiming, or if you like, purporting to be a reverend minister but at least, I know that EXODUS 23:8 says “corruption involves more than just accepting bribes” and that is why government officials have deep roots with “long hands” in the public funds.
To consider this, just take a good look at some reports and short stories around some of our men in government today.
Another area of corruption is when a general election is conducted and eventually gives birth to so many question marks, after which “royal instruments” from the Ashanti kingdom are combined with “legal gymnastics” to ATUGUBALIZE the final verdict.
Eiii, what did I just say? I’m even afraid oo. Let me keep quiet before someone drags me to the Supreme Court for contempt.
Folk, from where I sit, I can clearly see that the centre can no longer hold, the falcons can no longer hear the falconer. President Mahama has placed a knife on our economy and now our guinea fowls are running to BURKINA FASO.
God bless all my readers, God bless mother Ghana.
