  Damoah cannot be further from the truth.Our state institutions are weak and ineffective mainly as a result of over politicization and over-reaching interference from government sources. State Institutions mean jobs for the boys in a belly-up economy that is not job creating and there's an uninhibited over-reliance on government created jobs.Mostly people so employed see nothing, hear nothing and say and do nothing except when prompted and prodded by the hiring agent, the government, which also has firing powers. Looking for a job in Ghana is like looking for a cool refreshing fountain of water on the Sahara desert.Most people depend on government generosity to acquire a job and once they land a job they will always do the bosses' bidding to keep that job.State Institutions' employees will only be effective if they don't have to look over their shoulders whilst on the job and are totally independent.In Ghana the word independence has just one meaning - the wrestling of political power from Britain to become a sovereign state. Apart from this usage, the word is a dirty word and it's seldomly used. Weakened state institutions only work and exist for the ruling government but not for the ordinary ghanaian citizen walking in the street. If we want to progress as a nation then we must demand for the total transformation and independence of state institutions. There must be a hands off approach from governmental sources.

  One day at a busy airport, the passengers on a commercial airliner are seated, waiting for the cockpit crew to arrive so that they can get on their way. Finally, the pilot and the co-pilot make their way out of the terminal and begin walking across the tarmac towards the plane. It does not go unnoticed that both appear to be blind. The pilot is clutching a white cane and only narrowly avoids being flattened by an incoming 747, whilst the co-pilot is being dragged down the runway by a guide dog. Both men have their eyes covered with huge sunglasses.
  At first, the passengers giggle nervously, thinking it must be some sort of practical joke, as the pair jostle their way aboard.
  After a few minutes, the engines power up and the aircraft begins to move down the runway. Looking decidedly uneasy, the passengers begin to turn towards the stewardesses for reassurance, but suddenly the plane accelerates rapidly and pure panic sets in. Some passengers start praying, while others get down on the floor. As the plane speeds closer and closer to the end of the runway, the voices become more and more hysterical, until finally, when the plane has less than 20ft of runway left to go, everyone screams at once... and at the very last moment the nose begins to lift and the plane takes gracefully to the sky.
  Up in the cockpit, the co-pilot breaths a huge sigh of relief, turns to the pilot and says, "You know, one of these days those fuckers aren't going to scream and we're gonna get killed!"
