RE; Ghanaians Who Don’t Feel Prosperity In The Economy Probably Lack Skills – President Mahama

In all humility, Critical Thinkers International(CTI) must say President John Dramani Mahama had it totally wrong with this statement of his, he made at Volta Star Radio at Ho in the Volta region;

"Ghanaians Who Don’t Feel Prosperity In The Economy Probably Lack Skills".

Because with respect to Ghana's economic situation now, it is rather the bad economy which is not giving people with skills the opportunity for them to prosper and certainly not the other way round as stated by him.

We are not only sad with this statement by President Mahama, but find it very disappointing it came from him.

Therefore our belief is that, the president might have made such statement out of either  ignorance or mischief.

We are saying this because due to the facts available which is very common to find, it is shocking a man of his calibre who is supposed to know this easily either by himself or through his numerous economic advisors will go public with such an intellectual blunder on the state of Ghana's economy.

To support our claim, we will like to make our analysis from the public and private employment sectors of Ghana's economy.

A. Public Sector

Due to the bad economy which has been caused by this President Mahama NDC led government, which has eventually pushed us for this IMF bailout, the government has been forced to;

1. Halt lots of the labour force(skilled people) like teachers, nurses, technicians from our various polytechnics and others from getting employed.

2. Sack lots of the labour force(skilled people) like pupil teachers, kuffour nurses who have acquired their skills from short trainings and experience over time and others from their workplaces.

3. Others

B. Private Sector

Due to the the huge taxes, high utility bills, high interest rates, high cost of fuel, huge depreciation of the cedi with respect to the major trading currencies, the unstable electricity power supply and others which are all symptoms of a bad economy;

1. It has become hard for the labour force(skilled people) who want to setup their own business to do so.

2. Others are also being forced to shut down their businesses and through that leaving most of these skilled people unemployed in the street.

3. Others in their bid to sustain their businesses are forced to lay off some of their skilled workers so as to help reduces their losses.

4. Others

Due to the reasons CTI have pushed above which are all facts known even to the very naive in social issues in the country, it is sad the President will ridicule himself this way through either his ignorance or intentionally being corrupt with the truth.

We therefore conclude that, it is not Ghanaians who lack skills, who don’t feel the prosperity In the economy but rather it is the bad economy which is not giving the people with the skills the avenue to prosper.

Thank you

Hhhmm, May God be praised always
