So myopic and ignorant on what Otumfuo said.He is so wise and well inform to have made those statements .
It simply tells you how stupid the so call wise chief is, very silly
I don't agree with you Otumfuo on this issue. Private sector is mainly for making money hence electricity would become expensive for the average Ghanaian.
We can maintain all these government sectors if measures are put in p ...

Beautifully put. Awesome. Pure wisdom
The point Otumfuo is making is that Govt after Govt have failed to put in those checks and balances you suggeted. We cant be stubbornly doing the same ineffective things and expect different result.

Even our universities can be handed over to private prople to manage to avoid TEWU STRIKES. OUR REGIONAL HOSPITALS DONT NAKE PROFIT ALWAYS GOVERNMENT SUBSIDY. THE CEOS BOARDS ARE CHOPING ALL THE PROFITS
I agree. I still dont understand why we cant give Accra-Kumasi road to private company to build operate and transfer without the Government paying a pesewa. This is what was done with AMERI plant and now it is for Ghana!

It is the lack of this knowledge that has kept Africa from getting rich.
Expansive go ...

Leadership by example. This is what you should also do for your people with all the wealth the land has
WORDS OF WISDOM. Nana Mo.
We still hold on to Kwame Nkrumah's Russian- Communist-ideology.
Even Britain has changed. Led by Margaret Thatcher.
THE ASANTEHENE SHOULD SHUT UP
Ashanti people, tell your Chief to stop his cluelessness. He doesn't know anything about governance and rule of law. Talk is cheap. Electricity and water are strategic assets. They can't be ...
