Minister for Information and Media Relations, Mahama Ayariga has assured Ghanaians that government is aware of the challenges facing them and is working to resolve them.<\/p>\n

According to him even though there are a number of problems facing the country, some sectors of the economy are working efficiently.<\/p>\n

Mr Ayariga said politicians alone cannot be blamed for the problems of Ghana.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can assure you that we know what we are about, we know what we are doing, we know the challenges that confront us and we know the options that we have to exercise to resolve the issues,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019We are all part of some<\/span> problems and we are all potentially also part of all the solutions to the problem of this country\u2026; we can also be more progressive and appreciate that there are problems but<\/span>, a lot of things are also working,\u2019\u2019 he said on<\/span> the Citi Breakfast Show.<\/p>\n

The Information Minister was responding to questions on the Motorway and the state of the economy \u201cthe fact that there is a pothole on a section of Tema Motorway which creates traffic and hasn\u2019t been addressed it doesn\u2019t mean that the whole of Ghana doesn\u2019t work.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Mr Ayariga, however, criticized<\/span> those he said have<\/span> a “problem mentality”saying the generalisation that nothing<\/span> works in Ghana is \u2018\u2019absolutely untrue\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you look at the problems also appreciate the fact that we have made some progress and don\u2019t create the impression that Ghana is a system that doesn\u2019t work,\u2019\u2019 he noted.<\/p>\n

He further stated that \u2018\u2019a country is a work in progress\u2019\u2019, citing America as an example, the Minister said even the USA has infrastructure problems.<\/p>\n

The Member of Parliament for Bawku<\/span> Central said government<\/span> is engaged in a delicate balancing exercise due to resource constraint. \u201cthings are not just as easily straight forward as you see them,\u2019\u2019 he concluded.<\/p>\n
