Letter from the President: Too many useless NGO talk shops

Countrymen and women, against people and ever-ready to sing loyalists,
I am alarmed. I think that our country has become too talkative for my liking. People are talking too much about too many things in too many different place and I can?t help but get alarmed. You know I have had serious problems with the many radio phone-programmes which allow people too much leverage to open their mouths too wide to spew out assorted folly. The alarm I feel right now has nothing to do with radio phone-in programmes. Thank God! But it still has everything to do with the talkative nature of Ghanaians.

These days everywhere you turn you see and hear about workshops, seminars, conferences, forums, roundtable discussions, summits and what have you. Whatever name the organizers give to these programmes, does not hide the fact that these are useless talk shops. These talk shops are competing with radio phone-ins for recognition as the most favoured platform for Ghanaians to show the world that they are the most talkative people on earth.
