Businessman and entrepreneur, Dr. Kofi Amoah, has lamented the current state of Ghana’s economy as the country celebrates 68 years of independence.
According to him, the aura around the celebration loses sight of the true state of the country.
He asked Ghanaians to stop pretending they are happy and demand better for future generations.
Adding his voice to the 68th Independence Day Celebrations, he wrote on X: “The 68th… Dearest Ghanaians, How I wish I could join in with expressions of happiness on Ghana’s day of so-called Independe. I’m not happy and neither is Ghana and the majority of Ghanaians. So, let’s stop pretending and start performing.”
Kofi Amoah urged leaders to stop over-promising and under-delivering and rather focus on creating better opportunities for the youth.
“Let’s stop promising what cannot be accomplished and start sowing seeds of real hopes of good paying JOBS for everybody able to work, educated or uneducated, boys and girls in the cities, towns and villages, Kofi ne Ama… any ‘good-paying’ job that pays living wages, not wages to enslave but to lift up body and soul… Can we all focus on this one thing and get it done, and witness the explosion of heart-felt joy and sustainable progress,” he said.
The businessman said, “So, on this day, let’s resolve to do and to build that which can bring real happiness for Ghana and ourselves.”
