Professor Stephen Adei, former Rector of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) has described President John Dramani Mahama<\/span> and his Cabinet Ministers as a bunch of liars who have refused to tell Ghanaians the true state of the economy.<\/p>\n

According to him, Ghanaians must be told the truth if “we want to have a good country”.<\/p>\n

“They [must] prepare to endure hardship and make sacrifices for a better future”, he said.<\/p>\n

Professor Adei made the remarks as a guest speaker to crown a two-day marriage seminar organised<\/span> by the First Baptist Church in Tema<\/span> under the theme, “The Christian Home,” aimed at sharpening the skills of counsellors<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The university scholar noted that the country was filled with lies.<\/p>\n

“You live in a country where the President is lying; Ministers are lying; and everybody is lying. How can a Head of State stand in front of a country in this state of affairs and say that the economy is good? It is not good; things are hard,” he stated in reference to President Mahama’s recent State of the Nation Address.<\/p>\n

He was of the view that although it was going be<\/span> a challenge, “if we want to have a good economy and country, we have to buckle up as a country, increase national savings, discipline our appetite and decrease corruption, among others.”<\/p>\n

The educationist<\/span>, who doubles as theologian<\/span>, called for a change in leadership behaviour<\/span> and adopt \u00a0a national approach to governance so as to facilitate faster economic transformation.<\/p>\n

Professor Adei admonished the leadership of the State to demonstrate candour<\/span> and truthfulness to build a better Ghana based on telling people the truth.<\/p>\n

“As soon as we become truthful to ourselves and demonstrate it, the sky will be the limit for this country.”<\/p>\n

His submission comes at a time when the country has been plunged into another round of electricity crisis<\/span>, popularly called ‘dumsor<\/span> dumsor<\/span>‘ which President Mahama had earlier told the country was a thing of the past.<\/p>\n

He wondered why leaders drive in expensive<\/span> vehicles to communities lacking potable water, electricity, motorable roads and food, yet claim that “the country is broke.”<\/p>\n

“I met his Excellency, the President the other day and in front of him were 11 motorbikes and 15 cars moving at top speed\u2014 about 120 kilometres<\/span> per hour. That means they consumed<\/span> fuel twice the normal rate and you will be surprised maybe<\/span> they were going to commission a rural school. That day the amount of fuel they would consume could be used to establish another rural school,” he bemoaned.<\/p>\n
