The tenets of the political ideology each party chooses to adopt needs to take count of the country’s current level of growth and development measured against the level of growth of the other world economies Ghana must needs do business with. There is a mighty lot of growth work Ghana must perforce tackle. Our economy is backward and underdeveloped, if you will accept. It is the catching up work we need to do, and how we must do it, that is part of the problem.
In our situation a party should not seek to administer the economy seeking purposely to plunder what insignificant meager resources there are. It is wrong to come to government to take what belongs to the state. It is wrong to seek power solely to enfeeble the populace, taking from it the little it has to survive on. It is wrong to come to power to seek to target opponents to destroy for your preferred thinking, and for what you perceive the target personifies. The problem, which appears endemic to us, is traceable to way back the beyond of the sixteen years, Dr. you mention, sir.
Looting State resources must just simply be discouraged. Measures need to be instituted to drive home that the exercise of taking advantage of the nation’s resources illegally is not only unwholesome; the abuse must be punished, however severely to deter for the growth work everyone of us should partake in. We retrieve all stolen booty that is Ghana’s, whatever the kind – monies or landed property, or any other kind of property. They moneys stolen from the nation state’s coffers must be returned from the stealing homes and pockets to the emptied coffers. The houses and the factories must be given back to the country to serve the purposes for which they were built.
And we need to teach: earn your keep with honest work.
