Such leadership failure!! What more can the citizen do?

My heart breaks and is filled with so much pain when day in day out, the news is flooded with incidents of pupils sitting/lying on the floor in very dilapidated classroom facilities (This is not too far off, as my mother heads a school in Bolgatanga township and not a village, whose pipuls sit on the floor as at today), broken bridges, flooded roads, and pupils have to swim across to other communities to attend school.

People struggling and traveling miles just to find portable drinking water ends up with somewhat contaminated and unsafe water, poor hospitals facilities, patients either sitting or standing to receive drips in hospitals, pregnant women give birth on bare floors, so much graduate unemployment leading to the recent uncountable social vices heard off,( robbing of bullion vans, mobile money vendors, killings for money rituals), Nabco employees not being paid for over 4 months, Just to mention but a few…
And yet the wastage is just unthinkable.

“First lady and second lady of the current presidential spouses could be receiving about $3,500 (GH 21,000) which is to be back-dated to 2017”, amounting to GHS 7.4M- why not begin from now, at the approval of the said allowances? And do they need that much?

Again, such a luxurious loan to MPS for cars; which MP will say that he/she does not have a car? How many cars does one need to have? Why live in such luxury at the expense of the people who gave you the mandate to lead them?
And talking about the loan facility, just a loan to the government which is less risky be that expensive?

Should not risk and reward be more in line? The MPs are paying the cedi equivalent of the principal while interest accrues and is owed at 8.5%USD. In year 2, the interest of 8.5% will be on 8.5% of the principal. And again, the government will pick up any shortfalls caused by the cedi vs USD devaluation.

Over a 4yr period, how much of a shortfall is that? then we will be crying over the falling value of the cedi against the USD in no time.
Not to mention the millions of Ghana cedis that fall in the drain to judgment debts out of leadership negligence, the most recent analysis by the Center for Social Justice (CSJ) exposing an 8.9mk paid out as judgment debt over 2 decades.

It is sad how cash flows from our dwindling natural resources being the backbone of our economic support are wasted and swept down the drain when the masses gnash in anguish, poverty, and desperation. Using debt is not necessarily bad when the funds are invested to create enough sustainable economic activity to repay the debt.

Useful infrastructure, investment in education and health facilities, employment opportunities historically produce far bigger gains for everybody. Yet our debt accruals go into fulfilling greedy egoistic and insensitive desires.

I say this is a shame! And an absolute failure of leadership!

Only God can we trust as a Nation.
