@ MAHAMA AWE POTOOR.
NDC IS SCARED TO LOSE THE ELECTIONS ON FREE AND FAIR GROUNDS. BUT NPP HAS DONE MORE TO WIN ANOTHER 8 YEARS, NOT 4 YEARS! READ MY PIECE!

  NPP has done enough to secure another four year mandate. Ghanaians will reward Akufo-Addo’s good works and achievements! Akufo-Addo has done more than any other President in Ghana. So notion that NPP will use every means to win the elections is Bryan Acheampong’s own opinion.  Because there’s no way Ghanaians will choose Mahama over Bawumia.

What’s Mahama and his NDC’S achievements? One interchange at Nkrumah Circle, Terminal 3 at Korona Airport, three Hospitals, 50 small health facilities they called CHIP Compounds, and 25 High School facilities.  Addo has done 100 times what Mahama and Atta Mills did in 8 years. 

Nana has so far clocked about 185 factories, 111 Hospitals in various stages of completion. 700 High School dormitories and facilities. More than 4 Airports and 1 International Airport at Kumasi. More than 10 Ultra Modern Interchanges, 500 Earth Dams ( under 1 Districts I Dam Program) : The truth is, if John Mahama had constructed only 10 of these dams his SADA tree planting would have been successful

Akufo-Addo has created 5 administrative regional capitals with 5 administrative offices and facilities. Nkrumah created on 4 Regions. Hundred of thousandth of miles of Asphalt Roads, and now the new ( DRIP) road projects he has initiated in almost all the districts across the country and provided each of the 275 various districts with enough equipments to undertake their own projects by providing the needed funding from $ 1 million annual districts administrative Common Fund ( I District I $ Million annual funding) 

The National Ambulance Services, and Drone Medical Supply Services, the Tema Mkpakadan Railroad and revamping of the railroad sector in Ghana, the New Gold Refinery, the Kumasi Inland Port, Elmina Fishing Harbor, the Marine Drive Project in Accra and many many other projects that can’t be mentioned.

These are some of the non physical developmental projects. The Free SHS, National Identification Program, National Digital Address and many more that haven’t made their way on this piece of mine because of space .

So if you consider these projects out of the many innumerable projects Akufo-Addo has successfully implemented, why won’t Ghanaians reward him and his administration another 8 years mandate? I’m not talking about four years, no! I’m talking about 8 more years!  I believe Bryan Acheampong is just teasing the NDC. Because the election is a done deal for Bawumia and the NPP. That’s based on the achievements of the Akufo-Addo / Bawumia government.
I SHALL RETURN!

You are missing the point.
These kids are given the wrong education that does not match knowledge with the appropriate skill set.
Ask yourself, when are students sent to the school farm to work?
It’s when they have done something wrong so it serves as a punishment.
So why will you expect such a student to take to farm ? Or carpentry as a profession.
All our elite secondary schools is about oratory and not creativity or use of the minds and hands.

Free SHS is a great idea and kudos to Ghana. It is the implementation that should be looked into.
Let examine the curricula and engineer it to education for self-sufficiency.
Our educational system should be chyanged to technical and Technology based system.
I went to a secondary -technical school and Metalwork was my specialty. So when I migrated to the US, my first job was working for a precision company as a machinist making $35 per hour. This was in the early nineties.
In addition the company gave me tuition reimbursement.
Let us invest in the Technical and technology sectors.This area would empower the graduates to be equipped with practical knowhow. For example a student in Agricullture can speacialise in running a successful seedling company.

The goal of the nation should be the education of every child, and free HSH can not be seen as a cause of high unemployment but rather as a path to ensuring that all of Ghana's children receive an education. The Member of Parliament is dead wrong in her reasoning for the cause of high unemployment. Every politician should support the implementation of the free SHS program, and the goal should be to ensure a continued funding for the program.

This is an interesting article but in reality does not work in Africa at the moment. Basically we do have the infrastructure and other factors in place to enhance such a system

The other challenges of a 24-Hour Economy are:

Social and Health Impacts:

Workers in a 24-hour economy may face health issues related to irregular sleep patterns, stress, and work-life balance.
Night-time work can disrupt family life and social relationships, leading to broader societal issues.

Increased Costs:

Operating 24/7 can lead to higher costs for businesses, including additional wages, energy, and maintenance costs.
There may also be increased costs for public services like policing, sanitation, and transportation.

Environmental Concerns:

Continuous operations can lead to higher energy consumption and increased pollution, contributing to environmental degradation.
Community Resistance:

Not all residents may support the idea, particularly in residential areas where noise and disturbances from night-time activities can be a concern.
Cultural and social norms in some regions may resist the shift to a 24-hour economy.

We should try to solve the basic issues for the Ghanaian society to progress,example controlling corruption, accountability, quality of work and providing systems to enhance a better living standards for all

The real issue behind high unemployment in GHana - Ghana Poverty!

Ghana, like many developing countries, faces a complex set of challenges that contribute to its poverty. While Ghana has made significant progress in reducing poverty and developing its economy over the past few decades, several factors continue to hold the country back from achieving more widespread and sustained prosperity. Here are some key reasons why poverty persists in Ghana:

1. Economic Structure and Dependency
Reliance on Primary Commodities: Ghana's economy is heavily dependent on the export of primary commodities like cocoa, gold, and oil. These industries are vulnerable to global price fluctuations, which can lead to economic instability. When prices fall, the country's revenue and ability to fund social programs are negatively impacted.
Limited Industrialization: There has been limited industrialization in Ghana, meaning the country relies more on low-value raw material exports than on higher-value manufactured goods. This limits job creation and economic diversification, making the economy less resilient to external shocks.
2. Infrastructure Deficiencies
Poor Transportation and Energy Infrastructure: Inadequate infrastructure, including roads, railways, and electricity, hampers economic growth by making it difficult to transport goods and by reducing productivity. Frequent power outages and limited access to reliable electricity are particularly detrimental to businesses.
Lack of Access to Clean Water and Sanitation: In many parts of Ghana, access to clean water and sanitation remains a challenge. This not only impacts health but also affects productivity, especially in rural areas.
3. Education and Human Capital
Educational Challenges: While Ghana has made strides in improving access to education, the quality of education remains a concern. Poor educational outcomes limit the skills and productivity of the workforce, constraining economic development.
High Unemployment and Underemployment: Many young people in Ghana face unemployment or are underemployed, particularly in the informal sector. This is partly due to a mismatch between the education system and the needs of the labor market.
4. Governance and Corruption
Corruption: Corruption remains a significant issue in Ghana, affecting everything from public procurement to the delivery of basic services. Corruption diverts resources away from critical areas like healthcare, education, and infrastructure, exacerbating poverty.
Weak Institutions: Weak governance and public institutions often lead to inefficient public service delivery and poor policy implementation. This hinders development efforts and contributes to persistent poverty.
5. Population Growth and Urbanization
Rapid Population Growth: Ghana’s population is growing rapidly, putting pressure on resources and social services like education, healthcare, and housing. The rapid increase in population also contributes to the challenge of providing enough jobs for young people.
Urbanization: While urbanization can drive economic growth, in Ghana, it has often led to the expansion of informal settlements with inadequate access to basic services. This contributes to urban poverty and inequality.
6. Health Issues
Disease Burden: Malaria, HIV/AIDS, and other diseases continue to have a significant impact on public health and productivity. Poor health outcomes reduce the ability of individuals to work and contribute to the economy.
Maternal and Child Health: High rates of maternal and child mortality reflect broader challenges in the healthcare system, including limited access to quality care, especially in rural areas.
7. Environmental Degradation
Deforestation and Land Degradation: Environmental issues like deforestation, land degradation, and the overuse of natural resources are significant in Ghana. These problems reduce agricultural productivity and exacerbate poverty, particularly in rural areas.
Climate Change: Ghana is vulnerable to climate change, which affects agriculture through unpredictable rainfall patterns, droughts, and flooding. As agriculture is a significant part of the economy, this has a direct impact on poverty.
8. External Debt and Economic Policies
Debt Burden: Ghana has experienced cycles of debt accumulation, which can constrain public investment in social services and infrastructure. Debt repayment obligations can limit the government's ability to invest in poverty reduction programs.
Economic Policy Challenges: Past economic policies, including structural adjustment programs imposed by international financial institutions, have had mixed results. While they have helped stabilize the economy, they have also led to social costs, including reduced public spending on essential services.
Conclusion
Poverty in Ghana is the result of a complex interplay of historical, economic, social, and environmental factors. Addressing poverty requires a multifaceted approach that includes diversifying the economy, improving infrastructure, enhancing education and healthcare, strengthening governance, and addressing environmental challenges. Ghana has made significant progress, but sustained and inclusive development will be key to further reducing poverty and improving the standard of living for all Ghanaians.
