Dear President Mahama!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My name is Nana Ama, a citizen of Ghana and I\u2019m writing to tell you I\u2019ve had enough. I\u2019ve had enough of your government\u2019s poor decisions and the unbelievably stupid things some of your wayward representatives say. Seriously, you\u2019ve got to do something about those decisions and comments; they reflect badly on me and make me appear dim-witted, which I\u2019m not.<\/p>\n
In the beginning, when your people blamed dwarfs and high rise buildings for the decline of the cedi, we laughed because it was hilarious and we thought mockery would help them see their ignorance.<\/p>\n
Sadly, your people are numb to mockery so they just keep piling it on.\u00a0 Last week, we were told by Richard Quashigah, an MP from your party, that our mobile phones were to blame for the current energy crisis. I\u2019m no expert, but even I know our mobile phones are not the problem. As if the mobile phone nonsense wasn\u2019t enough, one of your staffers explained that implementation of the Senchi Consensus has delayed because of P. V Obeng\u2019s death.<\/p>\n
These were followed by the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) announcement that the power companies have been told to ensure constant power supply during the World Cup period.\u00a0 A feat government plans to achieve by spending 30 million dollars to buy power from Ivory Coast and reducing electricity supply to VALCO.<\/p>\n
I should applaud your team. They have outdone themselves; I never thought this level of stupidity was possible. This was the best they could come up with in an economy with a declining currency and a huge fiscal deficit?<\/p>\n
We certainly love our football but our lives don\u2019t depend on watching football alone. And watching football isn\u2019t a priority for us. Most Ghanaians want constant electricity supply to run their businesses. We want basic infrastructure like roads, efficient transportation systems, enforcement of laws and cleaner spaces to work and play in.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know what you seeking to achieve with this astonishingly reckless decision but it is making all 24 million of us appear brainless. The international news agencies you love to speak to are having a ball with this one.<\/p>\n
Sir, I hope you do realise this looks bad on you too?\u00a0 When they mention government, they are talking about you. And this is what they are really saying, \u201cinstead of fixing the economy, the Mahama government has decided to make it worse.\u201d Ghanaians are not the only ones puzzled by your decision, the world is wondering what happened too. Your experts are making you seem unwise in the eyes of the world. Not nice. I don\u2019t really care about what the world thinks but I need you to stop approving these poor decisions. We are not stupid and we don\u2019t prefer football to a stable economy. And we don\u2019t find your spokespersons funny any longer. Tell them to shut up. Just fix the economy and don\u2019t create more problems.<\/p>\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n
A citizen still mad as hell<\/p>\n
