Corruption is the main problem killing the Ghanaian economy and our leaders must live up to expectation as they promised to fight corruption in this country. If the corrupt individuals are not removed and made to face the law as you have said then we will be back to square one no matter what kind of new taxes they imposed.

in our country the voice of reason can not be heard as the decision makers , stakeholders and politics are so polarized through tribalism and other mud slinging propaganda that the truth and common sense have become irrelevant . the ministry of agric is notorious for the the fact that the minister and chief director there are the most corrupt callous characters in the govt today. every nation that has achieved development has put in checks and balances that rectify mistakes or evil tendencies , our leaders first make sure these checks and balances are eliminated whether by declaring president for life or one party states like nkrumah did or by putting strange immunity or indemnity clauses in the constitution like rawlings did. if there is no accountability there can be responsibility and a vicious circle of corruption , disunity and open crimes are committed but none of this ruling oligarchy will ever be made to pay for their atrocities. our country and her citizens produce tens of billions but poverty is the daily lot of most of our citizens as the system of divide and rule has been perfected , our gold and other natural resources leave the country but no a single dollar comes back to benefit our people , our diaspora of over 10 to 15 million is not involved in development rather when they come they are financially raped by all from their own relatives with ridiculous demands for electronic gadgets and school fees to the state organized mafia institutions with tribally biased evil agendas . a nation not unified or focused on matters of national importance are doomed to failure . the quiet majority are being exploited and raped on a daily basis but due to the govt sponsored propaganda and lies are unable to see things clearly and act . yes we have a hopeless depressing future ahead due to our own laziness , non action and cowardice of thought. nobody is interested in investigating the truth for themselves or even questioning the most obvious crimes. jj has proclaimed k4 a corrupt individual yet after superpowers investigated they rewarded him by appointing him special envoy , jj will not go to jail for his false declaration rather in the madness and with his tribal homogenous support will be declared a hero and not for inciting hatred against another leader who will most likely end up in a pool of blood like mills .the tragedy is far from over as mahama and his lies only continue this trend , mr all talk and no action is busy taking us on another jolly ride to despair and hopelessness . the only solution is a cleansing war or revolution which will ensure that the country is divided up so we all get a fresh start , no point in fixing whats too broken to repair

even if you eradicate corruption and you do not innovate, my brother the situation will be the same.
fighting corruption is good and a must be more importantly we need visionary and innovative leaders. at least if we generate and produce more some will be left even if they steal. for now we are not generating anything. so it becomes too glaring if the little is stolen.

It imported its first palm oil from Ghana and managed to
improve its cultivation process thus turning the country into one of the
largest palm oil producer in the world and developing chemicals such as bio
diesel for industries and food addictives from the raw nuts Where is our innovation which is why westeal. We are brain dead
Nkrumah being
a devotee of revolutionary movements and spending a lot of Ghana's
resources and money on this “Pan-African cause”. This led to a draining of
the country's foreign reserve forcing him to resort to deficit financing
and foreign borrowing. Over 50 years of Ghana's independence This second point your wrong. We need markets and a United Africa would have done that .

mahama is neck deep in the corruption albatross that is hanging on the neck of Ghana. How can a corrupt person check corruption. He dares not, because his corrupt deals will be exposed if he attempts to address the problem Indeed, to ask mahama to remove corrupt officials amounts to asking mahama to sack himself. Corruption under mr. 10% has assumed such obscene proportions that it has created rigidities within the economy that the economy has been held captive. mahama needs brain transfusion to enable hi m to solve the problem without exposing himself. Given the realities of the situation, I am afraid no matter of pontification can resolve the problem. Meanwhile, donor countries are hesitant to infuse funds into the our Robinhood economy for fear that thief mahama and his gang of loot and share will divert donor funds to their foreign accounts.

This is what happens when we have leaders who are not visionary, objective and committed to solving the problems that confronts us as a nation. Our leaders are just more than hypocrites and 'double edged tongue'. They are selfish and not care about the masses who are suffering. Enough is enough.
