Comedian and social commentator Kwaku Sintim-Misa (KSM) has praised President John Dramani Mahama for his renewed focus on agriculture and economic development.
He has labelled it a much-needed shift from political distractions.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, KSM referenced the recent cocaine scandal as an example of how a “vacuum” in governance can lead to unnecessary controversies.
He argued that when there is little discussion on national progress, trivial issues dominate public discourse.
“I was complaining about a vacuum where it appeared that nothing was going on. And when there is a vacuum, someone will find something else to fill it. That is why Rev Ntim Fordjour occupied the vacuum.
“This is not news; someone had said something without backing and the whole nation turned towards that. It was because there was a vacuum,” KSM said.
However, following recent news of government’s plans to boost agriculture, including onion plantations and local rice production to reduce imports and strengthen exports, KSM expressed optimism, stating that it was what the country needed.
“Finally, important things are on the table. This excites me. That is what I am talking about. Something positive is happening; let that take centre stage. Instead of turning zeros into heroes. Let the positive things be the topic of discussion. This is how we make the country grow,” KSM said.
He urged government and Ghanaians to pay close attention to such initiatives, stating, “We will not allow this to die out. Let’s not do this for show; let’s follow up and ensure real progress.”
