If NDC government of the day says it is the right time for the country to acquire five aircrafts, then President Mills government does not hold Ghana at heart. At this crucial moment where the developed countries are cutting edges to take proper care of their people, we are dazzling with our scanty resources.
Ghana depends mainly on donor countries to balance its budget deficits but the country does not manage its resources effectively to benefit the poor and needy Ghanaians, why?
There are over 30,000 classrooms in the country without teachers because of inadequate resources to recruit and train teachers but the government has money to purchase five aircrafts.
The government has forgotten that from Achimota junction to Ofankor barrier the road is at a deplorable stage which need immediate action to reduce accidents but nothing has been done and yet ready to purchase aircrafts.
Unfortunately, unemployment problem has not been solve but the present government cares not about the youth; most especially university graduates who have spent the last resources of their parents to acquire knowledge and with anticipation that after graduating they may get something to do to support them, they are roaming about without jobs. NDC government is not ready to assist these graduates but ready to purchase aircrafts.
It is my prayer that Ghanaians should not forget to vote NDC government out of office in 2012, because they are not there for the country's interest but for their own interest if not they would have not planned to acquire five aircrafts at a time while there are other important issues which needed immediate attention but had not been addressed.
God bless our homeland Ghana. Amen.
