1. A WORKER CAN IMPROVE PERFORMANCE BY FURTHER EDUCATION AND TRAINING TO BRING ADDED VALUE TO THE WORK PLACE, FOR HIMSELF AND SOCIETY AT LARGE. KNOWLEDGE GAINED THROUGH FORMAL AND INFORMAL EDUCATION IS NOT FOR THE OFFICE ONLY. KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCES IN WHATEVER DEPARTMENT CAN BE TRANSFERED TO ENRICH ADVANCEMENT OF SOCIETY. A REV OR A PRIEST/PASTOR DOES NOT PREACH OR SPREAD THE WORLD IN THE CHURCH ONLY. LIKE ALL PROFESSIONS AND, VOCATIONS AND TRADE TRAINING AND SCHOOLING AT HIGHER LEVELS IS ADVANTAGE AND IT WOULD BE VERY MYOPIC TO SAY THAT EMPLOYERS MUST NOT GIVE THEIR EMPLOYEES THE OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE. HAVING SAID THAT EMPLOYERS MUST ASSESS THE SITUATION TO ENSURE GOOD COVER FOR THEIR DEPARTMENTS WHILST OTHERS ARE SECONDED ON TRAINING.

Philip Kobina Baidoo Jnr, your article unwittingly supports the theory that most of Ghana’s educated elite classes do seriously lack the capacity to apply theories and concepts they do master in classroom and or in communities outside Ghana.
For starters, most of the economic principles that work and work to perfection in Western civilized democracies do fail to work to expectations on the African continent. Yes some of you are too egotistic to believe in your own hot air. A Ghanaian born economist, Prof Elizabeth Aseidu, USA wrote in one of her public economic articles on the effects of FDI flow into Africa especially sub-Saharan African nation relative presumed and proscribed results. I say this because you, Kobina Baidoo Jnr, seem not to know that Ghana does not own its Gold Mines as such the rise and fall in Gold prices on the world market does not amount to a hill of beans to the Ghana government except add to the agony of knowing that our leaders who engage in contractual negotiations with obligations on Ghana ought to be charged with treason. Your paper presupposes that Ghana has anything worth taking about to support our cedi. Where is the true measure of Ghana's GDP and or productivity? Do we find it in exports? Do we find it in commodities owned by individual Ghanaians and or the government of Ghana? What we have in Ghana like most sub-Saharan African nations are deliberate carvings of inferior and ineffective measures of economic activities; the only role we play is the ability to provide the world's economic powers with the license to mine and extract our mineral and natural resources while they give us inflated economic numbers to make our educated but unwise political administrators think they are achieving anything of value. The Ghana government gets less than 2% of the revenue from gold, diamond, bauxite and not to mention oil and gas of our latest discoveries. The new owners of those mines negotiated with a bunch of dumb Ghanaian leaders and representatives there have been years the government does not get a dime even as prices of those raw materials shoot up on global markets. Ghana sold Ghana Telecom, gave away our mining industry, sold our interest even in our oil and gas and the only thing we have to fight about is which of the two political parties, NPP and NDC, is made up of the greatest traitors or imbeciles. The Finance ministry , Bank of Ghana, the banking and financial institutions including lecturers at the universities who train our young men and women are only capable of saying and providing analysis and forecasts by shadowing what is happening in the financial markets of those civilized and industrialized nations. The one thing we are good at as Ghanaians is bribery and corruption and no one can hold a candle to us. Are there lands in Accra central or business areas really worth $300,000 or homes in Ghana really worth $200,000? Do you know of homes and land to be worth that much in UK if the annual incomes averaged less than 20,000 British pounds? The problem in Ghana is our inflated egos brought on by those in the Diaspora and those who return to acquire properties willing to outbid and out-purchase locals on inflated pricing of properties.
To save for a rainy season is to be able to meet your debt and or expenditure obligations at current revenue level so that any excesses income/revenue can be saved for those proverbial rainy days. Ghana has not been capable of meeting its payroll for civil servants and or its monthly utility bills anytime since 1966. Every day is a drought in Ghana and no amount of global economic peaks will save Ghana. We do not export things we own because everything of value in Ghana is owned by foreign interest; we are just front men with fancy titles, car and homes in unplanned and underdeveloped communities.

Aren't you exonerating Kobina for his assertion that positions in Parliamnet and government are not for school boys and girls? If the people who negotiated the $3bn Chinese loan, for instance, knew what they were doing, would they have mortgaged Ghan's oil production for 10 years $600m/annum, $250m of which comes from Ghana in the first place?
We have clueless leaders who are elected by a clueless majority and apathetic knowledgeable few who couldn't care less.

If you can prove to me that the demand and supply curve for Africa is different from the Western countries then, perhaps, I will accept that what works in Europe and USA does not work in Africa.
