IN THE TEST OF TIME

I have been thinking aloud off late about this issue of economic hardship exerted on Ghanaians by successive governments with deceit that they are serving Ghanaians in the right capacity. Lest we forget that the lives of the people depends more on the development of the state and how bewildered the government will be in tackling issues of societal needs.
My focus is on the current government and how pragmatic measures are been adopted in addressing the needs of the ordinary electorate on the street. Here we are people dying on the streets while the politicians get themselves and families’ goodies upon goodies and amassing wealth meant to service the ordinary citizens.
I have come to understand that power seeking people do not have people at heart. If they do, they would not have allowed young and determined students to sit under undesirable and dilapidated structure to study. This does not even provide them with incentives that will boost their morale for effective teaching and learning.
I wonder what the politicians do with the taxes we pay to them in different ways and forms? The problem the country is facing can be solved only if our leaders will sit up and act as responsibly sighted individual who will think about Ghana first before their stomachs. The problem is in their pockets but the fail to dip their hands into it, maybe for the fear of leprosy infection. The solution needed is to move Ghana from the primary exporter of primary products in the Capitalistic way to an industrial socialist economy where we will take charge in managing our affairs than we being dictated to.
This is so because, it is only in a Socialist state that state or government put the nation and people ahead before their interest. Former Libyan leader, May his soul rest in peace, Colonel Gaddafi once said his parents will have no house until the people of Libya are housed. He lived up to that since he made sure he provided accommodation for them. This was accomplished because of his deep instinct in the socialist ideology of communal harmony than the capitalist nature of selfishness.
The most appropriate solution to the problems of Ghana is not the IMF or The World Bank but rather our political and economic ideology of moving from the capitalistic way to a more productive way of Industrial Socialism.
